Oil Drain Pan Flange - Problem Solved

[Tsibred1]

I had searched this subject for a while before and had only come across people either direct welding, expensive kits, or custom made flanges inorder to get a new flange/fitting on the pan to allow for a braided style oil drain. With some digging and a little bit of ordering for testing I've found a flange that is a direct bolt on. It's the Oil drain turbo flange for Garret GT series ball bearing turbos. Older style GT25s and T28s had this flange as well. Below are a few pictures showing the stock drain tube and the new flange side by side, if anything is needed, rubbing a drill on the inside edge of one bolt hole might be all it takes.

Nevermind no changes are needed to the flange, here are pics installed:

Be sure to seal underneath the bolt heads so leaks can't come out the threads.

Good find, have a link to where you can get it?

I still prefer taking a non turbo pan and weling in a -10an weldable fitting. No chance for any leaky anywhere.

I would have prefered to do that, but after just cleaning RTV off the pan I was NOT ready to do it again. Atpturbo sells them for 15 bucks, otherwise there are alot of ATP vendors on ebay, I got mine from Himni Racing.

And yes, I will be putting sealant behind it for sure!

Should work on the turbo, but it wont work on the pan. If i recall correctly, the spacing on the pan is 1.5".

Yeah I have the one for the turbo, I need the one for the pan.

Its one of these 2, i cant recall if it is 1.5" or 1.75". You need to measure your pan. But i am leaning more toward the 1.5"
