what are the perks of getting the pan? i have an 07 but it’s nearly stock so i was thinking i’d only need the baffle and pickup.
I love this song!
Do you think this was only an issue on 07 and below STIs?
My combo kit did not contain printed instructions. I’m unsure which bolts and parts go where. This video does not show which bolts go where when putting everything back together.
To push the motor/tranny up with that jack you had there with the block on it, did you have to loosen any motor mounts or anything else?
Slooooooow down
much easier to install on a fresh block…I mean who hasn’t blown up their first few builds?
Do you need to use the Killer B oil pan or will the OEM pan work with the pickup and baffle?
If you’re doing this yourself in your garage beware that getting the OEM pan will be your biggest problem. Get a putty knife and cut the existing seal. Then you may be able to use a dead-blow hammer to remove the pan the rest of the way. The video shows the techs using a 2×4 to pry the pan off. This may work on a lift but you’ll have clearance issues if you’re working under the car (jack-stands only).
(As per Chris at KBMS): FujiBond, HondaBond, ThreeBond, and applicable permatex products will work just fine.
Took about an Hour?
This video is fucking bullshit. They make it look so easy when in reality they removed coolant lines, dipstick bracket, engine crossframe mounts, air filter mounts and clips, they dont give you proper torque specs for any items that need disassembly other than their pickup and baffle, and they dont go in depth on the o2 sensor removal. This job is doable but it is not a deceptively simple task. Killer B makes a great product but these instructions are misleading and quite simply a joke.
Is the oem pan still usable if you only want the baffle and oil pick up?
So I noticed an adapter that goes between the pickup and the block… i bought the oil pickup and baffle combo and did not get that adapter piece… 06 wrx by the way
What product does Killer B recommend to reseal the oil pan?
Why did you remove the secondary air pump?
Do you need to replace header gaskets after taking it off?
Seeing the stock exhaust manifold go back on was hard lol. Why was the killerb oil pan even put on the car? I definitely understand the killerb pick up and baffle. That was the first thing I replaced in my STI.
1 – Seems there could be a third pan option that doesn’t have the huge dent to clear the el header and add almost another quart of capacity. 2 – How do you slap that pan on before oil seeps back on the engine flange? 😆 I remove honda pans almost every week for one reason or another, and the oil never seems to stop seeping, it’s maddening. 😆 You have to be faster than gravity to beat the oil.
How much additional oil you have to put in after installing that oil pan?
First off, great vid of the process… this makes it seem very much less daunting than I thought it would be for a DIY project.
I was wondering is there a quick list of the steps taken here… mainly to check if this is something one can do in the driveway on a nice day with just the basic hand tools available.
why do this wo doing the elh? sry very interested. thank in advance. getting both..
Can you install baffle and pickup on stock pan? Looking for budget reliablilty.. and also what the best aos for stock motor, turbo, full exhaust minus headers? Any advice would be awesome. Love the channel!
I noticed a mistake on the install. You reinstalled the oem exhaust manifold instead of a killer b elh 😂.
Can this be done without removing the headers? Looking at our 07 STi it does not seem that it would be in the way. However I see that you have to use some forced effort to dislodge the OEM pan. Is that why you remove the header, to get that leverage with the pry bars? Thx
Greetings.
Do you know, if the OEM pickups after 2007 or 2008 changed their part number, or remastered its manufacturing process?
Solid investment, solid product. Installed this back in the days in my 2004 WRX STi.
What is the benefit of the Killer B oil pan? And is it absolutely necessary to lift the engine to install the oil pick up on an 02 wrx? Thanks.
