View Full Version : Larger Oil Pan for RB26 in a S14?

After reading about all the horror stories of people starving their engines for oil and the need for baffles in the pan, I set out to find an upgraded oil pan for the RB25. I didn't find much in the realm of aftermarket pans, so it looks like I might be stuck with modifying a stock RB25 pan.

IIRC, the RB25 oil pan isn't aluminum so welding extensions to it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Something like this:

(I think this is an RB26 pan)

Ideas?

A guy on here is putting a rb26 in a s15. i think its in the chat section under my little silvia or something. It is very well built. check out what he has done, pm him if ya still have questions i guess.. Check out stuff on other forums as well NICO, DRAG240sx, there are more sites on this than ya think.

The "My little s15" guy had someone else modify the stock rb26 oil pan. I don't have than rb26 pan nor the tools to weld aluminum to get it to work. Plus, he didn't really increase the oil capacity like I'm looking to do.

I'll scout around on those other forums, but they're usually full of ricers :fawk2:
