I was looking on the GTM website and they have the Greddy High Capacity aluminum oil pan, is it a good upgrade? I ask because it seems that a lot of people here use oil pan spacers instead and yes i am planning to go force induction soon. Thanks for the help guys!

I would get an oil cooler instead, but it wouldn't hurt

The drain is the same as our drain plug M12 x 1.25 the temp sensor threads are 1/8 NP which is the same as BSPT.

I would love the extra quart of oil that it adds. it wont make a huge difference with cooling but having the extra oil is never a bad thing. dont porche's run 6/7 quarts of oil?

It does make a big difference that quart extra helps dissipate heat my temps so far have not gone over 205deg.

Ah I thought you meant your oil temps were so low just from the oil pan, got me excited for a minute. Though ambient temp always matters as far as cool goes, the issue is just compounded when you add FI to the mix.

I believe they made a V2 of the tray which is suppose to provide more room for oil pan spacers and bigger sways from rubbing.

There is plenty of clearance with the ZSpeed kit.

GaleForce, DEpointfive0 and Zteven like this.
