jessejames Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Ive installed the efr6258 to my stock sr20det. im using the stock manifold. The turbo sits lower and too close to the oil return on the block. I was wondering if i can return the oil to the side of the pan if i buy the greddy oil pan? Would the return be too low? Iany suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ben Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I know this is an older thread, but the answer is no. The oil return must be where the stock location is. The oil will not drain if you run the return to the pan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general the return just needs to be above the oil level in the pan, so if the Greddy pan meets this criteria it should work. Am I missing something?

johnc Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 The OEM pan on a SR20DET is about 3" deep and about 8" square. Its completely full of oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr jdm Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 On paper people will tell you dont tap that low because on the sr20 the oil pan is always full, so the oil return wont draing back In reality, people have done this with many other motors and have never had an issue Something you need to decide.
