I just got my greddy turbo kit in today. There is some welding involved. You have to weld your oil return onto your oil pan. So that blows, I am going to have Jotech install it i guess. And you must get your blow off valve welded to.

 

Yeah the oil return thing is pretty much what keeps people from installing their own kits.

 

Every turbo kit needs the oil pan modified or swap'd out completely for a new one.

Greddy just gave you bare minimum to start with, you finish and customize the rest.

 

Be real careful if you plan on welding it yourself, especially if you're using an arc welder. I've heard horror stories about frying the car's electrical system. It's grounded to the body, and all.

Anyway, I don't know that much about it, I've just welded a few iron gates and the like. You might be better off having a shop do it.

 

Umm, your probably gonna want to remove the oil pan from the car for safety. You have to drill the pan, then weld. I wouldnt want metal shavings in my oil...

 

My stage 0 ZPI had it welded on already. Greddy really messed up on that one. I would not have bought itbecause I don't like spending $ on something that you can install yourself. Thanks for info BTW...very useful.

 

Like I said, I don't know much about welding on cars. Just be glad I'm not welding on my tC and posting about it later.

 

 

 

It may be a pain, but it sure is a nice looking kit

 

Yeah its pretty. Runs great too!

 

um the easier way for the oil pan to get welded and you still want to install it yourself is just simply go buy a new oil pan from the dealership......i bought mine for 110 out the door and put the measurments for the oil tap and had a local shop tig weld it for me......

 

i bought my off ebay for 10.00 plus $6.00 shipping and droped it off to be welded so it was just a straight swap becarefull not to damage anything taking the oil pan off its a PITA

 

Yeah I have to get that welded on my car when the kit gets here, and also the flange for the BOV.

 

Looks great!

 

Could prolly just buy a pretapped oil pan, no? Maybe you could just buy one from Dezod?

 

I believe any 2azfe equiped car has the same oil pan... I could be wrong, but you can find em cheap for $30 at a salvage yard.

 

Yeah, I have the same issue. I've been looking everywhere online, and may just have to go to the dealer to have it welded on.

 

as of right now ZPI is the only company that offfers a pre tapped oil pan for i think $170

 

Does anyone know if the oil return that has to be welded on can be capped? If it can, than, I can just have it welded onto my existing one and roll around with it until the actual install.
