GTM Performance Engineering: High Capacity Oil Pan w/oil baffling system (8qts)
 

We're happy to announce our newly developed High Capacity Oil Pan. Here are some of the details about our oil pan.

• High Capacity (8 quarts)
• Pre-tapped with two 1/8” BSPT ports for fittings or sensors
• Pre-tapped for oil return lines
• Available Baffling System with one way trap doors for oil control under hard cornering
• Finned Aluminum design with large surface area for oil temperature control
• Designed to be used for forced induction or NA cars
• Designed to work on 2012+ cars with factory oil cooler
• No cutting or trimming of vehicle to install
• Direct bolt on and comes with all necessary installation hardware

The first batch of 150 pans are coming (100 for our MHI turbo kit group buy and an additional 50 for those that want this pan by itself) and should be here, ready to ship within 30 days. These will be available on a first come, first serve basis and can be purchased with or without the baffling system.

Here is the link to the new oil pan on our website: GTM Motorsports*::*ENGINE EXTERNALS*::*Oil Pans & Spacers*::*GTM BAFFLED HIGH CAPACITY ALUMINUM OIL PAN ( 8 QUARTS)

Here are some of the pictures of our pan and baffling system:

That's a far more reasonable price than I was expecting. Good job, guys. Putting one on the wish list now. So with your 34r oil cooler, were looking at 9 qts of capacity?

Nice!

Do you guys have any picture side by side with stock?

Sub

Yes.

Sam

Sexay

Is this drop-in compatible with your Garrett TT kits?

Sub'd for the Hell of it!

Sent with TapAhoe

Yes it is .

Sam

I hope the TT kits go out before these oil pans go out separately. :tup:

I've been billed for this on my invoice a couple months back, hoping I have one on already... or ready to get thrown on :icon23: :rofl2:

But I upgraded to Turbosmart Big Bubba BOV's. :icon23: :icon17:

I have a 25 row oil cooler and a Greddy oil pan and I have 9 quart capacity you will be over ten.

Mike, by saying "Designed to work on 2012+ cars with factory oil cooler" do you mean it will not work in any way with 2011- cars? or it will work but with some aditional mods.?

Will it come with block-off plates for the turbo oil returns for those that aren't turbo? IMO, should come with them pre-installed for the same price.

Also, the wording of the product page makes it sound like the baffling and gating doesn't come with it for that price, that it will be extra for those features. Is this the case? If so, what will the "complete" price be?

We do now. ;)


It will work on all Z's. The other oil pans on the market will not work with the 2012+ cars with the factory oil cooler in place.

Yes, it will come with block off plates.

There is a drop down box to select with or without the baffles. Without the baffles, the oil pan is $416.50. With the baffles, the pan is $480.26.

Very reasonable.

Thanks!

It is a great price for you NA guys. And obvious the GTM pan comes with hardware unlike the Greddy pans.

nice !

Will you have to relocate the oil filter, or will it still be serviceable in it's stock location? Is there any type of concave or slope to the pan to help with draining?

Weight vs stock?

More.

The stock one is a super thin (admittedly steel) piece of junk. This is a cast aluminum piece with some real meat to it. Plus, it'll be holding an extra couple quarts of oil, which you may have noticed at some point weighs a bit.



Lucky for us, it's at least as low in the engine as it can possibly be.

Mike,

Looks like Replacing the Oil Filter becomes a PITA with this Pan. Any photos of it installed looking toward the oil filter. I like the idea, but just wondering if you can still access the oil Filter.

thanks,

C

You guys worry to much.

The oil filter does not need to be relocated. We designed our pan to work with both the early setup and the late setup with the factory water to oil cooler sandwich plate. The pan will drain just fine with the way we positioned the drain bolt hole.

It's not terrible to replace with the pan installed. Here are some pictures of the oil pan installed below.

So I am guessing that the oil from the oil filter drains onto the top of the pan when it's removed making a nice mess, is this correct or does it channel off somewhere? What is the crank/slinger clearance with the baffles installed & is there any problems getting a near full drain with the baffles?

Thanks :tiphat:, my intrest in this pan is growing.

Thanks Mike

The channel for the lower coolant line will catch a lot of the oil when removing the filter. Wipe it down with a rag like you normally would when you're done and you are good to go.

There is about 4" or so of clearance between the crankshaft and the top of our baffle. The crankshaft barely protrudes below the main caps and on top of that, there is the upper oil pan before our lower oil pan. See the attached pics for an illustration.

As for the baffles preventing a full drain, it is better than the stock pan for sure. Take a look at the pictures we posted of the factory oil pan and you can clearly see all the places where oil will not be able to drain from. The floor of our oil pan is flat in comparison and only a very small amount of residue will remain when you do an oil change compared to the factory pan.

Can we buy these yet?

That's what I thought at first, but then edited my post when I saw the lower coolant line & thought it would pretty much fill the valley causing the oil to run elsewhere ;)

I was sure you had some clearance in there somewhere, but it just looked tight looking at the pan & baffles alone. I am new to this platform & I really appreciate the illistrations :tup: That crank is really stuffed up there.


What he said, but with the caveat of them being instock ;) as I see them on the web site

I got a 2012 w oem cooler plus 34 row cooler with additional sandwich plate, will this still clear/fit???

Should, the coolant line will pass through the channel they've cast in, the sandwich plate just pushes it out laterally from the block.

Yes it does. GTM made it around that platform.

Any new news on this? Are they shipping??

I called Sam on Friday, said they have pans & baffles, but were waiting for the block off plates. He said they should be getting them in within a few days. I hope to be picking one up in 2 weeks being I'll be out that way.

I am wanting one of these for a 2014, I will order soon. :happydance:

Well today I had the opportunity to see both the Greddy pan & the GTM pan side by side. There is no comparison, the GTM pan is the better way to go. Advantages are, more capacity, no trimming of the sheet metal as it is a direct fit, includes oil pickup tube extension & all hardware to install (Greddy does not) 1 way baffles keeping oil at the pickup tube instead of Greddys fixed baffles. Deeper heat sink fins & more surface area for better cooling. Needless to say I bought the GTM pan today http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/smilies/banana.gif

Thank you Mike for your great service with me just popping by & to Sam for having Jason fab up some block off plates for me while I waited. I truly appreciated that :tup: Pablo thank you for making sure I had everything I needed.

Thank you all again :tiphat: you have a great oil pan & now I do too. :happydance:

Rob

Did it help your oil temps?

I'm really liking this product as well but have a question:

I use the ZSpeed aluminum undershroud, the one that has the oil change door. Is that still going to fit and is the drain plug in much of a different place than the OEM pan? Do you know if I will still be able to get to the filter if I do not remove the whole cover?

The trap door is nice but if any time I'm under my car I'd remove it. Since you there (under the car) take the time to inspect all components threw out the bay.
