pans

[midnightsliding]

anyone know is their is an aftermarket oil pan with baffels or what ever. thankswesand this has probely been asked a 100000001 times but what is the highest HP on stock bottom end that is somewhat safe with good tunning?dont flame for ghay question

[Joe]

rb20 or rb25?

the pan on a 25 is pretty decently baffled. i had mine off a while back and was pleasently surprised.

and highest hp on bottom end thats reliable is also engine dependant. on a 25 id say no more than 400-450 RELIABILY without worry. not sure on a 20.

[midnightsliding]

its goign to be a rb25, i just dont want the oil to slosh around and cause oil starvation, im going to shot for 400 rwhp, but im going to try and put it in a car that weighs arouns 3500 gutted so i was looking for decint power to slide suck a big car around. but this is all jsut hopes and dreams for now. jsut doing a lil research for now

[Joe]

what car? no s chassis weighs that much.

and again, if you pull the pan i think youll be very happy with the baffling it has. i was and i road race/drift.

[modestmouse]

If you aren't happy when you pull it off though, oil pans are easy to make! BTW I love your wheels, just picked up some!

[Sil240]

I have a Aussie magazine that has just bolt-ons on a 20 and they saw about 450HP cant remember if its to the wheels or estimated at the crankAnd someone in FL has like over 500 hp on a 25 dont they

[midnightsliding]

its going to go in a 4door drift car. thats what im hopeing i jsut dont wnat thebalence of the car to be all mesed up.

[Joe]

it dosent mess the balance up in a 240sx. its not gonna hurt a heavier car.

[midnightsliding]

thats good to know, but i thought i herd some ppl saying the anything past the sturt towers make understerr more pron to happning, but i dont think it would effect a 4 door like it would a coupe

[Joe]

all the weight is focused on the crossmember tho, the front weight is still transfered back down to between the wheels on the crossmember. there is a change, but its minimal.

a full vs empty tank of gas makes a bigger difference.

[krayton]

out of curiosity, what chasis you putting it in too?

me heart 4 doors

[midnightsliding]

im shooting for Q45, i have to go back to mississippi to clean up some stome **** and when i get back i should be geting started on it. i want to do somthing different and im hopeing that this will be something that will stand out and like form and function put together. but i still love s13 and s14. but 4 doors are pimp sort of and its not going to be like slideing an s13 but i figure if i cant make a decint amount of power it will be alright. i dunno hope when i get back in 2 months or so i can get started on this. im jsut ding some research on what power plant i want and i tihnk I6 will be a good choice and sound badarce. as of right now i dont have the car or power plant so do get too excitied, thanks for all the info so far i will ahve more question when i get back but for now im going down their and wont have internet so that will suck. but im hope this will be a good winter time project.thanksWes

[krayton]

that sounds awesome. id love to do that.

of course my dream would be a laurel.

....mmmhhhmmm

ok, back on topic!

yeah oil wont be a problem. ive done circles for too long, drifted banks, beaten on the car all day. oil is ok!

[midnightsliding]

alright thanks. it was just a thoguht that crossed my mind dint wnat to mess anything up. i hope this project will come together when i get home. and another dump question but wheres a good place to buy an RB from that wont shaft me.?

[modestmouse]

I'd recomend Venus Auto. They've gone way out of their way for me during my swap. Stay away from PSI Racing and Rims and Things though I doubt you've heard of them.

[FrostyRB]

The stock rb25det oil pan comes nicely baffled from the factory. My buddy put down 485hp on our dyna packs on a stock engine & has no problems with it. He also beats the hell out of the car & it is very reliable.

[midnightsliding]

what set up is he running, any pics?
