I'm looking to by a new oil pan for my sr20 to replace the old tiny one. I don't really have that much money so I found an ISIS oil pan that claims to be an inexpensive alternative to Greddy version. It's $130 as opposed to $375 for Greddy and $400 for ARC. I don't want what I buy to leak or not work either so I was just wondering if anyone knew anything about it. Saw in on enjuku.com just for reference.

!Zar!

Don't be a cheapass.

Buy a real oil pan or else risk loosing oil and blowing your motor.

i was also lookin at the same pan and wondering the same as well...... if you compare the greddy and ISIS the picture is the exact same, and they have the exact same description

luisgonz

Its called copy and paste, Just Buy greddy.

jrocslider

knockoff companies killing the real ones but all these guys care about is saving some money.

buy a stock pan and get an oil cooler. i ran extra quart of oil just to be safe in the sr on the track. no need for a 300 dollar pan

yup, that's why they're called knockoffs. They copy greddy's product and do it with little to no quality control and cheaper manufacturing methods. This is why u save money and why their products oftentimes are giant pieces of shit

landins13

moroso also makes an oil pan for the sr its legit.

honestly, after selling greddy and the greddy knockoff years ago... if it were up to me, I'd get the knockoff. Even if money wasn't an object, I'd still get it. In all seriousness, you're paying for the name. We measured every part of the knockoff, and it was just as on as the greddy. If Greddy needs our business, they'll lower their prices and get in the game. I wouldn't cheap out on a few things though... engine internals, suspension, and electronics. Just my $.02 though.

Yup, what he said. OEM or real stuff, no knock offs.

Has anyone actually blown their motor cause of a "knock off" oil pan? Please correct me.

SidewayZ-s14

Amen.
If i were in your position, id most def buy it.
hope it goes well!

markyboi

i wouldn't cheap out on anything that is very vital to the engine

After seeing how poorly a Freddy oil pan fit I would never use one. Not a fan of the Greddy ether. Cast Alum that close to the ground on a lowered car...

I would only get the Tomei pan. Can't beat Steel.



Hasn't been in their stock list for 2-3 years.

get the arc pan ... if your going to upgrade something why not get the best ... i mean if you cant afford something wait / save up some money and try to look for one on a discount im sure you can get a arc pan for under 375 ... when you go to the store and see milk thats fresh and milk on sale that expires today .. do you buy the milk that expires today because you want to save .23 cents ?! if you do then you fail lol

DAMNIT !!!! So many ignorant people. Its not just dimension that you can see with your eyes. Grab a damn clue. Quit being dumb. Think about castings, think how the metal is poured into the mold. Think about it. If you want to take real measurements send it into a lab and get the metallurgy of both products. Guarantee you greddy is better.

Stronger castings(stronger product), less porousity. Less chance of oil seeping through the metal.

"If Greddy needs our business they will lower their prices ?" Are you ******* kidding me? Can you just roll a tub of grease down the road and go slide on it please?

Cost of aluminum went up, cost of shipping went up, cost of engineers went up. You think companies that make copies have engineers to develope parts ? No they just copy duh! Thats why copies are cheaper, But because they don't have engineers then they don't know the processess of producing a good product. For that same reason they probably didn't spend the R&D on how to cast the metal to give it maximum strength, superior finish, and less porousity.


You wouldn't cheap out on important things like internals ??? MOFDUGing engine relies on your oil pan !!!!!

I only paid $150 for my ARC pan, is it going to fail on me because I didn't pay full price?

drift into a curb

I don't think it's just the name you're paying for. I've had knockoffs of intercoolers/oil pans/etc and sold them right back after seeing the quality. Do things right the first time. Support Greddy. After buying a XS/Mountain/Stone branded stuff, I realize crap doesn't fit up right, aluminum isn't proper thickness, their casting sucks, leaks everywhere. I'm one for saving a buck, but don't cheap out just cuz it has the same function as the part it's copying and skip out on the quality.

Just because you drive a 240 doesn't mean you should put junk parts on it. Have some class and respect for your car and yourself.

Maybe, theres really no way to tell. But how often do you hear people in here about getting rod knocks? You get rod knocks on SRs in 2 ways, engine pinging/knocking or oil related issues. Thats where you start asking yourself if you did everything in your power to alleviate oil issues from developing in your engine. Bad oil pan, too thin of oil, dry start, shitty engine, clogged up sump...etc etc.

If you're gonna make the mistake of putting a cast aluminum oil pan on a car that's probably going to be lowered, at least do it right and get the greddy one.
