were could i buy a pretapped pan soo i dont have ne of these leaking problems anymore.

 

ZPI sells pretapped pans. Welded and everything

www.zpiracing.net

 

I tapped my own and ive never had a leak.

 

ZPI sells a pretapped pan but i wouldn't support such a venture cuz how they take a $80 pan (you can purchase the tC oil pan from TRDSparks.com for $80 +shipping) simply weld on a barb fitting then jack the price up to $175 is beyond me. I would purchase the pan from TRDSparks then drill and tap it.

 

Is there anyway to get the TRD oil pan from the S/C? You could just use that.

 

Yea, I dont know the part #. Im sure you could PM TRDSparks for it.

 

^^^ thats the way to go if you want a whole new pan.

 

they said at the time they do not selll them seperatly, just got off the phone with them.

 

I called up ken sometime back. They can't get the pan itself. That's how i found out about the stock pan for $80

 

ZPI I sure does not purchase the oil pans from TRD sparks. You also have to factor in labor for tapping the pans for you. Just a little business fyi for you, the margin of profit is probably small on such an item, so you would need to price it accordingly just get something out of it.

You should comapre the $80 bucks for the pan from TRDSparks that is, and add that to the cost of taking the pan to a shop and having them tap it for you. What's the going rate of labor for 1 hr, $55, $65 dollars.

 

You should PM SimplyScion and ask if he still has his TRD pan from his wrecked tC. I'm sure he'd give it to you cheap if he still has it.

 

If you have the means to do it yourself, def cheaper.

 

They should hit Ken up then, sure would make alot more money

 

I'm also looking for the TRD Oil Pan. Contacted a few places and still waiting on a response.

 

ZPI can special order it for $140 plus shipping.

And if you need the part number for it here it is: Part# PTR41-21160

 

does it need to be welded?? I honestly feel that Brazing it is alot easier and would most likeley hold with the heat. any opinions??
