FBM install assistance - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hey guys, can someone advise on where to weld the bung on the oil pan? We're at a bit of a standstill and I'm having a tough time getting ahold of FBM. The instructions there litterally say

NOTE: Finish oil pan instructions and add pictures

So I'm guessing I got an old flash drive or something.

Thanks!

The oil return should be as close to the top of the pan as possible, and at a downward angle so as not to cause any resistance on return. It should not come close to any pulleys. It can only really go in a certain place to work properly, but that place is pretty obvious when you get under the car.

Install your oil return line on turbo, mount fitting to said line and see where it goes. Mark it and install it there

Plus I know it's obvious but just keep it in mind you'd want to make sure that where its gonna sit you can still access the bolts to the pan, don't wanna do things twice and it's easy to over look silly things like that if rushing or getting stressed/frustrated

I was so glad P&L sent me a new oil pan with the bung already welded on...I mangled the shit out of the stock one taking it off...that gasket goop subaru used is insane.

Gen, it is the top right front corner. You want to mock everything up to insure you have it correct. Let us know if you still cannot figure it out

We offer a welded pan for those who wish not to weld their own.

I have no problems welding my own, but does the premium kit come with a new pan with the bung already welded on?

Btw I have had my kit sitting at my house for the past week and a half but have been away since before it arrived and I've still got another week before I'm home so havnt been able to check if it does or not

FullBlown · 04-06-2013, 10:48 PM

yes all the premium kits comes with the welded pan

Gen · 04-06-2013, 10:48 PM

Thanks for the help guys. We just wanted to make sure.

I suggest if you weld it urself to fill it with water before you install it on the engine. There could be a tiny tiny pinhole that will make a mess with time. The water will leak out right away if ghe is any hole

Yeah we made absolutely sure

I ordered the base kit on 3/19 and now I'm getting nervous about the install. Have the instructions been completed for new USB sticks? I'm planning on having a shop (Works Motorsports in Sonoma, CA) do the install but still want clear instructions
