I'm going home to work on my car again this weekend. I need to tap the oil pan. I've heard that this cant be done with the stock flywheel. Is it possible if I don't have a lightweight flywheel? Any tips or explanations of the process would be great.

i dont see why someone would have told u it couldnt be done with the stock flywheel, u tap it on the other side of the engine by the crank pully/ ac compressor area, just take off the lower oil pan, then u can drill it while the aluminum pan part is still on the car, u can JUST fit a drill in there to do so. if ya dont know what i mean i can send u the directions from RIPP

Thanks. I don't know why I was told that. It had something to do with the fact that the flywheel made it too hard to get the oil pan off. Something along that line. But, taking off the lower oil pan and drilling the upper one seems easy enough.

the flywheel will have no effect on how hard it is to take the oil pan off at all. whoever told you that is a retard

weird... that makes no sense at all. If u need them let one of us know. Also make sure u get the new revised directions!

Carrera, if I could use your knowledge later to tune this thing it would be greatly appreciated. It'll be modified to recirculate with alky injection, CAI, reflashed ECU, zt-2 wideband, J&S safeguard, and an Apexi NEO.

I can send you a nicer template for drilling the oil pan than the one that came with the RIPP instructions if you want. :2_wink:

And a right angle adapter for the drill makes things MUCH easier...

Here ya go. Just download them from here (to avoid having to send them to multiple people as I've done in the past)...

Thanks for the instructions!
RIPP wanted to charge me $5.00 for them.
Still waiting for them to give me the price of a new shaft support bar.

BAH!! We don't sell information here... LOL!! :3_wink:

5$?!?!?! man i had to pay them 20 a yr ago, and the safc settings were still wrong. and it was just a burnt cd, 20 bux wouldnt have been that but if it was atleast a book with LOTS of pictures. but u dont even really need to directions to install it, atleast i didnt bother with them. other than for the oil return.

I basically bought a partial kit from a guy who was selling it on the boards here a while ago. It was missing a few things but it is a stage 2 and he threw in the boost cooler and injectors so I saved a ton of $$.
I have Kellydood helping me with the build and tune.
Thanks to you guys who did the Bypass valve upgrade recirc. system, I have faith in the SDS system.
My set up won't be done til spring though, there is alot more to going F/I than I thought!

i hate the place where they want you to tap the oil pan.. it's directly under the pulleys and ****... i moved mine to a spot right below the rear exhaust manifold, and put in steel braided hoses... MUCH nicer than the **** ripp did...

Did ripp do anything right? LOL

 

[PewpMaster]

no... not really

i think everything that was done right was done by someone else and they took credit for it...
