Oil Pans and a 06 ??

STI-LOS · 06-26-2008, 05:40 PM

Hey guys I have been searching and searching cant find anything on this.. Does anybody know what aftermarket oil pan will work with a 06 and aftermarket headers? I have GT Spec Headers and a 06 which has the smaller oil pan. I am really looking to go to a bigger pump when I do my motor aswell as a bigger oil pan would be good to have that extar bit. I know Cosworth has a big oil pan but doesnt seem to fit, and moroso has a bad ass one but they only say for 02-05 wrx/sti..Seems like there is no info on oil pans? Anybody have any suggestions thanks...

I've been wondering about the compatibility of aftermarket oil pans and headers as well. Ididn't realize that the 06/07s had a different oil pan than 04/05.

Bump for info. The one rallisportdirect offers has been proven to not work with GT Spec headers and needs a notch cut out and rewelded to make work. + this pan costs extra for the baffle kit. It holds a hefty 2 qts extra oil but seems to just be a factory pan with a large reservoir added to it. The Moroso is awesome looking and comes with internal baffling and external fins. Anybody know if GT spec headers and or stock 06 manifold would work. For those that don't know, the 04/05 use different oil pan and stock manifold X over pipe than the 06-07. The 06/07's lost .5 qt oil capacity compared to the 04/05 by changing the X over pipe. Adding a higher flow/psi pump only ups the chances of oil starvation on a road race course under high G's.

It's looking alot like the Moroso pan Los. .5qt bigger capacity on the 06/07 STi along with a slightly longer P/U tube supplied. I have a question regarding the 11mm pump and the Moroso in to the R&D team at Moroso. We'll see if they reply before those running it do.
