Gen3 3SGTE never made it to the states either i don't think so sooo much for that other pan idea....you *could* try Canada...i heard they can look at other EPC's there....

HAHAH man you sound more mad than me. But im going to try to get it welded, i found some welders that will do it without feeling "liable". I just wont ask for a receipt. Pans already messed up, might as well try anything. If that doesnt work, ill have to buy one from Australia. Wish me luck. Thanks for the support.

I think that this oil pan will work. The engine has the same block setup and the pans have the same mate face I THINK. Ask for many pics.

Good luck and please let me know if it will work.

Hey thanks for the info and find!

Hm. We tried the 3rd gen 3sgte. Is there a difference?

Im going to try to get it welded this weekend. Hope it goes well.

[assassin10000]

That's a gen 4 he linked you to.

I dunno if the 3sgte gen 4 is interchangable, but if it is. All you might have to do is plug off an oil return... Although, according to mandalay only a beams pan will work.

Post 14 has the pics and it looks to be exactly the same.

Check it out. I think it will work. All you would have to do is make a blockoff for the turbo oil drain. On the beams pan it is not machined for the drain.

Please let me know.

You are totally right. I have the oil pan in front of me and its matching up! I think i will go ahead and buy it. THANKS A TON!!!

PS dont worry if it doesnt fit, i wont take it against you.

I just PM'd the guy.

[2muchfun]

Sounds GREAT! I will keep my fingers crossed.

Either find some one willing to sell you one or l can help with new ones, Remember your exchange rate is the best its been for years here
$1 usd = 0.6 Aussie
But the shipping is the killer.
Remember though YOU WILL NEVER BE LEFT WITHOUT being able to get a part
BUT it could be dear

SORRY
I should point out when i said " is the only fit "
I should have said they are the same part numbers. As far as retrofiting other car parts im at a loss as l used only the Beams parts.
Sorry if that has caused any confusion ........................

I got it welded instead. I hope it works. Leak tested also.

[Celica RA45]

ok 1st thing is ,put some kerosene over the weld on the inside to make sure it doesnt leak about 10mm of height over it should tell you if it will leak .
if it does, clean it up with petrol let dry and smear a bit of the toyota packing material that they use to seal the sump with ,over the welded section ,this will stop oil leeching through the pan

[2muchfun]

Did the other oil pan not fit? I think that I O you some $$$$$!

Brad.

[sugarfree]

Ok ill do that.

Nah, you dont owe me any money, i didnt buy it. The weld only cost me $25.00. So i went that route. This should work though.

THANKS!!!

Did the guy told you what material he used to weld?
Or what type of material the pan was made of?

I need to do the same on mine (surface crack compare to yours) and my friend asked me those details

He used another piece of aluminum, but the "solder", im not sure what it was. All he mentioned was he had to use a type of "solder" because it was aluminum.

Hey guys, I tried putting the oil pan in today and find it a lil warp like.

Im going to get the oil pan cork gasket for this since it's a lil thicker.

Will this help the gap?

Could it be the welding that warped the aluminum pan?

[MANDALAY]

Unfortunately welding aluminium is an art. You have to heat it up. The warping is due to the amount of heat it soakes. The part is thin and also it is cast which means it is porous
Also if thats out you going to have to see if the face aligns with the gear box ?

[Celica RA45]

when we weld alloy like that we bolt it down to the block so it doesnt warp
