There are No marks on the oil pan and I would never jack up the car using the oil pan as a lift point...

That looks like possible warping from heat....

NO! If it was. That would have to be around 400+ deg. His oil would have been turned into ashes. Inside of his motor would show burned oil deposits.

Yeah and the metal would be more discoloured I suppose.

Yep.

Ok so today I managed to get the oil pan drilled and tapped and the oil pan back on. Also the gtm oil sending unit connected to the new motor.. Tomorrow I will drill and tap the motor for the gtm exhaust manifolds...

looks like a defective part, i cant imagine how that would happen in use

N0SL3N · 04-21-2014, 05:25 PM

Why are you not using an oil pan spacer or greddy oil pan? I thought most turbo guys wanted to increase oil capacity.

COSMO · 04-21-2014, 06:51 PM

Actually the oil cooler depending on what size adds about a quart. I'm not crazy about how the oil pan spacer makes the oil pan the lowest point on the front of the car...

good luck sir. how are things coming along? can't wait to see the finished product.

COSMO · 04-22-2014, 12:41 PM

Coming along pretty well and thanks for asking. I need to order another setab 34 row core since I already have the lines and sandwich. plate.

Today I managed to get the intake torqued down and the fuel rails and injectors on. Also managed to get the new z1 motor mounts on and the drivers side exhaust manifold.

What are your power level goals? This being a built motor I figured you were going big. Then I see that you are staying with the stock fuel rail.

COSMO · 04-22-2014, 05:36 PM

Oh come on man lets not get into the fuel rail debate... lol Again I have already spoken with Charles and bobby at vsr and my stock rails will be fine with my aeromotive 340 and my 750cc or 1050cc injectors. My power goals should be in the low to mid 600whp with my gtm stage II turbo's. I don't want crazy power because one it is not usable and two I want it to be Reliable...

Just a question man...You will basically have the same fuel setup as I do if you go with 750s. If that's good enough for 600-650whp then I would be able to cross something off the big power build list. I'll be interested to see how it turns out.
