I received an email from Todd and he is unable to do the pans at this time

Wasn't Atomic doing this, or fabbing up his own as well???

Almost any shop with the capability to weld aluminum will do it for you. A local shop did mine for $150.00.

I sent Atomic a stock pan and he cut away eveything but the pan rail and the back of the pan which has the trans mount bosses and made me a custom 6.5 qt oilpan for my turbo engine. He can be contacted at atomicmotorsports@yahoo.com

I have no idea where this came from.

I had issues that kept me from doing them in Nov/Dec/Jan, but I've been producing them slowly, as needed, for the last 6 months.

Got any pics? How thick was the metal he used to fab it up?

I apologize if this is no longer the case. My email was around late March early April

Yes I have pics but I don't know how to post them here, I'm not sure what guage metal was used in the pan but if Atomic sees this maybe he'll chime in or even post pics of the turbo header, downpipe and oil pan he made for me.

My question is, how do you know how much material to add to the pan after you cut out the bottom?

The million dollar question that no one has ever asked.

The distance is important. Too close and the pump will cavitate. Too far and the oil will form a vortex (same as water draining down the drain) and begin to suck air.

The distance has to be just wide enough to allow oil to flow into the pickup from all sides at once. This prevents a vortex from forming by keeping the flow rate divided around all the way around the whole pickup hole.

If the distance is too wide most of the oil will begin to flow from only one side of the hole and the rate in that area can easily get high enough to begin to suck air down with the oil.

I think 1" is way too big.

Wouldn't you want to match it to a stock 2.3L pan or use a 2.3L pan with an adapted flange?
