Default What oil pan for turbo motor?
I'm lacking an oil pan, and not sure what to get. I'll be running Huron Speed t6 kit, their PA racing turbo k member. Someone recommended I find a vette oil pan, c5 batwing one. Any ideas? Automagic, big turbo, built motor btw.

Why not just run a stock pan? Get whatever was made for your vehicle.

If it's an f-body. Stock pan with baffle. That's what I run and no oil problems with 1.2 60's with a few bumper rides.

I use the C5 batwing as the Vega sat so low in the front I needed the ground clearance. The Batwing saved me as the GM swap pan I had sat within an inch of the ground....ouch.

Anything that can gain you more oil volume and some baffles is a good thing..

I prefer the moroso 20142
