Not affiliated with this vendor but interesting in purchasing and thought you might be as well. Check it out...

Will this work on our cars and are benefits worth it?

The vendor is guessing will cost $350

So you'd get the pan and what else? Besides labor, what is the total cost of part on this upgrades - guesstimate using Subarugenuineparts...???

Thanks in advance for an interesting product!

There should be no reason why this would not fit the EJ22T block.As many people put these into WRX's using all stock WRX external parts.

Parts included is a Pan Gasket, Pick up tube Gasket, Drain Plug, Drain Plug Gasket.
Labor wise, it depends on your skill level. But the motor HAS to get lifted to get to the bolts that are on the back side of the black, that are above the cross member.

Looks pretty sick!

Did they do any fitment with stock turbo exhaust manifold? I'm assuming it will fit since it fits with the headers.

If someone gets one, I'd like to see pictures of it installed.

Anyone know how deep the stock oil pan is?

Really long thread at RS25.com...jump on the link and ask? Not sure if anyone has asked that question yet and you know they say about assuming...
<grin>

I do....

I'm not registered there, and am at work. I'll have to post something later.

Guesstimating from the pics, it is about half an inch to inch below the pipes.

Adam West · Post by **Adam West** » Thu Dec 17, 2009 12:06 am

Don't the pipes go around it? That's why it's wedge shaped?

Adam West · Post by **Adam West** » Thu Dec 17, 2009 12:11 am

I posted....

<<<You mentioned the design works with most aftermarket header...because I have to ask and not assume, were they fit tested with stock headers?

EJ22T folks don't have catted headers so we don't typically run aftermarket headers...>>>

They answered...

<<<They where. Not by us, but Moroso did state it fit with the stock units.>>>

And only one 'r' in Moroso - my bad! <grin>

I'll keep my eye out and post again when they are ready.

I think I read on that thread it's 6 3/4" tall.

Adam West · Post by **Adam West** » Thu Dec 17, 2009 2:04 am

Yes, someone with a garage measure the stock height please - Josh, can you do?

Binford · Post by **Binford** » Thu Dec 17, 2009 7:59 pm

Mine's kinda beat in, but it looks to be pretty close to 6". A little under that if anything. The drain plug sticks down another 3/8" maybe.

Dammit. This looked good in case I end up using an EJ in Tigershark to withstand the cornering forces, but I'd like to keep the engine low as possible and I need to fit a full belly pan underneath and retain some useful ground clearance. I guess it's not THAT big a difference in height, but I was hoping for a lower profile, if anything. Guess you need to fit 5 qts. somewhere.

Adam West · Post by **Adam West** » Thu Dec 17, 2009 8:51 pm

Can someone look at this from the perspective of adding 3/4"? I mean if there are suspension components that are hanging LOWER than 6 3/4" then the added height shouldn't matter.

I'm planning to lower the car further and shroud the bottom as well for protection...but how low can you go?

Post by **Legacy777** » Fri Dec 18, 2009 6:29 pm

Adam,

I'll try and take a measurement of the stock pan and compare that to how low everything else sits.

Interesting, veeeeeeery interesting...

Post by **Legacy777** » Sun Dec 20, 2009 4:49 am

I measured the depth/height to be 6-1/4"

The lowest spot on the oil pan is the drain bolt, and that sticks a little below the horizontal section of the crossmember.

The jacking plate was the lowest thing right now (now exhaust on at the moment), and I think it should be the lowest spot when compared to the morroso's 6-3/4" depth/height.
