real simple...

1. Jack car up(four jack stands or a hydraulic lift and wait til it's cooled down.

2. Drain oil.

3. loosen bolts in the criss cross order honda recommends.

4. pull old gasket off and scrap old hondabond off of the block and oilpan(it'll be a grey sealant).

5.put new hondabond on the sealing surface of the oilpan and press the gasket on(make sure you don't have any flecks of hondabond in the oilpan and it helps to clean that out aswell).

6.Re-install oilpan and tighten bolts back up in the reverse order and refill your engine with oil.

yeah that sounds simple enough. But this is my car. Ok got the required brackets off to remove the oil pan. The oil pan gasket on the car is black so its been changed, well took off the oil pan bolts and went to drop the pan and hit problem number 1. The turbo oil feed line runs under the oil pan. Took that loose and hit problem number 2. The exhaust pipe is so oversized for turbo the pan will not drop far enough to slide out. Man at the luck. I am going to unhook exhaust at cat and pull it down far enough to finish the job later. Family time comes first.

ok so the whole turbo and manifold had to be removed to get the pan far enough down. But I have gotten some more stuff done to the vehicle. I got my F/IC installed and am in the process of putting new injectors in and new fuel pressure regulator, and got a new wastegate spring. Its coming together. How many people have street tuned the F/IC?

I know a few people who have street tuned their cars, actually a guy in my local club charges for street tuning he's so good at it. It's mostly just a matter of skill.

Has anybody ever relocated their radiator fan to the front side of radiator and changed polarity to push air? My downpipe is sitting right on top of my fan motor and I am sure that the heat will burn the motor up before it should wear out. and car is at dyno right now and the F/IC is in and being set-up just needed to replace a fuel line.

Have you tried slim fans? Most ppl opt for those with this engine since their isn't much room in the engine bay,.

so would relocating to outside of radiator be more efficient?
