Ive been doing alot of searching and have not been able to find this... Is there another company besides ZPI that offers a pre-drilled oil pan??? Mine is leaking like a b*$% and I need a new one badly... asap!!! I though about taking it to a shop to have them try and fix, but it will be WAY to expensive.. I'm not quite sure whats going on with ZPI, so I'm a bit reluctant to try and order through them. Any ideas?? Thanks!!!!

 

jb weld is gods gift to man.

 

Sorry to hear about your problem..can't really offer any advice other than DO NOT ORDER FROM ZPI. They are currently not putting out any products and people havn't been refunded yet either, dont want another SLer to fall in their trap, so yeah, um...

 

Thanks... I'm pretty new on here myself.. I found their oil pan and was about to order it, then I found that post about 'em. Been screwed before, so being a bit more cautious these days.

don't think you'll find a pre-drilled scion tc oil pan unless somebody is selling their very own.

you could also just find a totalled tc in a junkyard and take its oil pan.

 

if you can snap a pic of the oil leak, that would help. if its leaking from where i think its leaking from. then i can walk you through how to jb weld it.

 

Thanks.. I'll have to get it up on a lift some time this week to snap some pic's. Think they just did a crappy job when they tapped it on install. I have been going through atleast a quart or more of oil a week, just getting stupid now. But hey at least I've always got fresh oil in there!!

 

How much have the local shops quoted you?

 

can't you buy the one that is offered in the TRD supercharger kit?

 

The local shop told me it was gonna be at least $200+ for them to remove it, weld it, and put it back. From ZPI's site it was just over $100ish from what I remember. So I was hoping to find something around that price range..

 

Hmmm.. I cant seem to find a site they offer it on..

 

email trdsparks.com and see if they can get you a part # for the pan

 

Thanks! I'll send him one now..

 

Yeah, I beleive the stock oil pan from toyota is about $100. $200 to have a shop remove it, weld it, and put it back in sounds good to me.

 

how will they weld it ???? u cant its a brass fitting with my kit mine used to leak alot now it just leaks a little i check the oil every 2 weeks and usually it just needs to be topped off just a little, i dunno i hate oil tapping it sux they always leak no matter what eventually it gonna leak, hit a bump hard and that pipe moves just like a millimeter after hitting a bump over and over again eventually its gonna leak just a tad i still have this problem and its a pain in the ___.

 

Well, mine was a brass fitting with a washer, it was leaking.
My shop took it off and welded a new one on. No leaks. Cost me like $200. Totally worth it.
The shop should have one the right size that they can weld on there.

 

good glad to hear its squared away im gonna ask my guy if he has somthing that he can weld it with instead of the crappy brass fitting.
