rjracin240 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Have not had much luck searching and finding threads on performance oil pans for our L6 motors, so went out on my own on this one and am currently building a higher capacity oil pan. Do enjoy quite a few track days in my old beater, have had good luck with current oil pan on tracks with long straights such as Road Atlanta, and tracks with some banking to them such as Daytona on a stock pan. However have had the inclination to do a pan ever since getting a LD28 Maxima pan when I pulled the crankshaft out. This pan definitely has more capacity and with the "wings" has some metering to it when the oil sloshes from side to side. Looking at it to me seemed like it could be an improvement over stock. There are a couple of questions though such as the inside of the pan and the baffles, does anyone here have any suggestions on them or do they look good as they are?

rossman Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Whatever you do, make sure you weld in trap door baffles to help prevent oil starvation. You do know that there are off the shelf high performance oil pans right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkspeed Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Yes, the extra capacity helps, but really need trap doors to prevent pressure loss. Or run an accusump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tioga Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Why not just buy the Arizona pan. Exact same pan as kameari for half the cost. Large capacity and trapped door baffled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris83zxt Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I took at look at the AZZcar oil pan and I noticed it only states support up through 78'. Are there steering components in the way in 79+ that keeps it from working in a ZX? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
