Suby and Oil Pans
Hey guys,
I'm doing a little research on conversion oil pans for the Subaru engine swap. What does everyone think about the alloy pan offered by Bug@5-Speed.com? I like what I'm seeing and hearing about it. Besides the "cool" ribbed alloy pan factor, the slight kick-out on the sides increases capacity back to almost stock, provides extra cooling and I like the baffles to keep the pick-up covered in hard cornering. This looks like the hot ticket pan for a conversion destined for the track, or other hard cornering scenarios! At the present conversion rate - the price isn't too "out there" either...... Thoughts? Jeff

I have their oil sump on my EJ20TT, ground clearance isn't a problem anymore, it holds the same amount of oil as stock (from what I've read on the forums) and it's a good fit.
A big + for US buyers is that the owner of bugat5speed communicates very well in Englis. Mine took just over a week from ordering to arriving in Belgium.    Only negative thing I have to say about is that the screw that keeps all the oil in isn't included and I had to find one that fitted( not a big deal but in a kit like that it should be included since it isn't the same size as stock)

Tom,
Great pics - looks awesome! How did you seal it up - RTV/Silicone? Agreed abou the drain plug - if it's different is should come with one. Does it retain the oil scrape/r separator that I belives mounts under the crankshaft, near the oil pan surface? I haven't pulled the pan on mine yet but I believe I saw a pic with an engine W/O pan, with a large baffle mostly hiding the engine internals. What's involved in adapting the oil pick up tube? Hmmmm... anyone up for a group buy?  Jeff

I used liguid sealant for oil sumps (just asked for it in the shop).
Only thing I did was cutting a piece of the oil pick up tube and welded it back together, haven't touched anything else so the baffle you refered to is still there. I'd say mail Martin from Bug@5speed about the group buy, I think he'll propably be up for it.

Group buy ?
Can we get an indication of how much $$ we are talking about ? Will these also fit the EJ25 ? Rob.
