    Whats up. You need the oil pan from a Rt4wd's d16. You still have your old one?

    re the oil pan.
    I'm looking at the one from my D16A6 engine from the shuttle and the one on a D16Z6 engine. I really can't see any differences between them. Both have a cut out at the back of it.

    I think I'd rather do as the guys swapping RT4WD into the civic and chop the back of it to allow removal without removing the engine/gearbox/diff.

    When i did my DOHC swap i never needed to use the RT4WD oil pan but i did need to use the RT4WD housing plate (the plate that protects the flywheel and clutch).

    That's a right monkey to get to as well. I think there is probably a better way to attach it for easy removal but good protection.

    If you look at the ITR setup it's a single piece ally which incorporates the brackets and the cover in one, but yet is fairly open under the sump side of it.

    I figure that either attaching something to the sump or making it stronger and doing away with 1/2 of the required bolts might be the way forward.
    Perhaps with a built on sump guard. Dunno, thinking out loud :lol:

    Idk about you guys with the JDM/EDM oil pans but us north american guys need to use an oil pan from a RT4wd OR a 2WD WAGON

    Maybe the JDM EDM market use all the same oil pan because when i swapped out my blown motor for a JDM SOHC ZC, the oil pan on the ZC worked just fine. :?:

    JDM SOHC ZCs came out of RTi wagons remember. :P

    Interesting...
    I'll check some other D series (D13,D14,D15,D17) as I get a chance.
    Or the EPC :idea:
