What about those OBX eBay pans, they have the turob oil feed built in, I know OBX is scetchy but its just an oil pan right?? But your saying aluminum is crap?

OEM y8 oil pan is aluminum. As long as your bung is welded properly it should be ok. But, if you want that extra bit of insurance, Moroso wouldn't hurt

heh.. i wouldn't worry about my welding skills... i didn't learn to tig weld for nothing...

also, moroso doesn't make a pan for the Y8, or D series even... only B

what are the Y7 pans made of? steel? do they fit?

Try your hand at a DIY tubular manifold then.

RE: Building up D16Y8

Man the trends for building motors changes every month. When I first got on here everyone wanted a B16. Then I noticed more K's and GSR motors and stuff like that. Now I see kick *** D builds. I am sticking with my original plan to turbo my z6 and then eventually build it for 300 hp. Make sure you take lots of pics and keep us updated on everything. You know I dont have anything better to do!
