What's the turnaround time on getting these?

Turn around time is based on when we have 3 people lined up for it. As soon as we can send him our stock oil pans and give him a heads up he can give us expected return times.

Kaj shared some pics with me of it installed. I'm attaching it to this reply.

We have 2 folks (myself and Laxman) just need one more person to make a production run. Benefits of this oil pan include lower oil temps during hard driving and no oil starvation during hard cornering. This oil pan is much cheaper than rebuilding the motor.

The other thing you can do is ship a new oil pan to Kaj to have 0 down time

Reminder that those pictures are from the R&D phase and for fitment purposes only. Finished product is on my first post.
I may have updated install pictures. I'll check.

It looks like it might be prone to being banged driving no?

Nice work. Been looking for a decent option like this for a while.

That's where I was. I wanted something cost effective with a reasonable turn around. Having it custom fit was a bonus. A good oil pan is a really good investment, IMO.

Do you have a traqmate showing the oil pressure? Hard to see/count on the gauge . There are a few options similar to the New Zealand pan but it has a moved pickup. IIRC your pan has a stock pickup?

RS motors/Balrok and a few others have data acquisition with the NZ pan and the results have been impressive. Just trying to compare apples to apples.

Nah. I don't log any of that. My gauge tops out at 100psi and I didn't see any drop, so I'm stoked. It's just an oil pan; not exactly rocket science, but I was still glad to finally get the visual. My fab guy has made anything these for other cars, so I wasn't too worried LOL
We did it see a reason to move the pickup. I didn't want to have to make a new one should I ever need another. Not that or pickups ever really break, or anything.

I like data, A real log is going to be more accurate then a gauge. It is just an oil pan but don't forget the R&D that goes into a product. There was a reason Racefab NZ moved the pickup after years of building the oil pan.

Either pan is still an upgrade over stock so you should be fine.
