Shortened Oil Pan


Lawrence Johnson
 

I have located a company which specializes in performance Subaru
engines for sandrail applications.

They will section (shorten) your oil pan 1.75 inches for a fee of
$200.00. This will reduce the oil capacity by one quart. IMHO with a
good synthetic oil and reasonable monitoring),that would be enough to
feel comfortable. (I have to measure if this is enough for Syncros.)
Thanks Warren. I am an interested candidate. I have a spare oil pan ready.
We have both a Syncro WBX with skid guard and a Syncro Urabus without. Over the weekend, I'll make some measurements to see if 1.75
inches will be enough.

It has been pointed out to me that the Subaru oil pump already has fittings ready for an external oil cooler: the two bolts pointing
downward. I had thought of simply adding an external oil reservoir to compensate for the reduced oil pan capacity. Any thoughts?

I have not played with a tach, but I suggest you try turning the diodes
around. The way they are now they are not isolating the two circuits.
