I felt this deserves it's own thread... A little bit of a tease... Introducing the custom oil pan we had fabricated for the Scion tC.
Sorry for the crappy Cell phone Pictures. I am not at the shop today and I was sent these on my phone.

Enjoy...




who likes the "shop oven"?

 

It will be used in conjunction with this set up.

 

Cool.. but it looks like the welds around the oil drain will prevent the oil from flowing out nicely.. there should be more of a slope going down the drain hole right?

Can you get a better pic of the drain hole?

 

I'm not at the shop today, but when I get back I will take a few better photos. I'm sure there will need to be a few finishing touches done to the pan before we install everything. I wouldn't put my approval on it without seeing it in person just yet. I just figured you all would enjoy seeing the progress we are making on our little project.

 

Oh definitely - we like to see progress..

I was just pointing it out incase you do decide to install it like that.

 

Sweet! Turbo looks really nice as well.

 

sweet setup up.. im doing the same with the taking out the battery..

nice baffle plate also ... just make sure that drain plug is flush on the bottom to drain all the oil out... other then that looks good.

looks like it would hold an additional 1QT of oil if not more lmao ...

 

deep sump oil pan?

 

X2. Is this a a deep sump? What price and availability for this?

 

-makes mental note to learn welding before opening shop

 

watching...

 

If the price is right.....

 

It does look a little rough on the bottom.

 

they'll probably smooth it out, did you see the mockup of the manifold he had?

yea they'll def smooth it down.

i meant that it's going to be easy and awesome money if i were to learn it.

 

nice bro! By curious why custom oil pan? Just cause you could? Looks sweet! I'll take one. Thanks! Hahahaha

 

here's a few better Shots of the Oil pan.










Intercooler Just got finished as well.







only things left to finish fabricating are the Intake manifold and the Down pipe. Afterwards we will start to piece everything together!

 

Bump!

 

nice, so this one is designed to hold more oil? interested on how this look installed

 

yes, it will hold about a quart-1.5 more oil. It also comes with a longer oil pickup to accommodate the larger pan.
We assembled the motor Saturday and attached the pan. we just need to finish the poly mounts and we will drop it in. I will get a few more pictures

 

sexy!
