[L20ET Upgrade]

I may need to post picture to explain, but the location where the oil pickup mounts to the block is different on the L28E and the L20ET. This is the pad you will need to have drilled. If you just drill the L28E block for the front dipstick mount you will drill into the main oil galley between the pick up and the pump.

 

The proper thing to do, is to drill the front oil pickup location on the L28E, install a plug between the original L28E pick up location and the new one you had drilled. The drill the front dipstick mount on the L28E.

 

As I indicated, I took a different route as I didn't have access to a machine shop. I will post a pic in a little while, but there are plenty of pics showing the oil pump pickup locations already on this sight.

Can you give way more detail on drilling the front sump oil dipstick . Where, what angle , what size drill and pictures of yours?

I’m doing this swap to, but I’m having trouble figuring out what to do with the oil system. Do you know where to get an oil pan and an oil pan pick up? I can’t seem to find either one from a Nissan Maxima . I would cut and weld the oil pan to make it a front sump but I still need the oil pickup
