Since I was on an oil kick last night I decided test fit my Mocal oil cooler sandwich adapter with the KillerB pan in place. The Mocal does NOT fit well with the stock oil pan so I figured the KillerB pan would be even worse. Fortunately, the KillerB pan actually fit better but it still has fitment issues with the Mocal adapter.


On my old setup I notched out an area on the stock pan's lip but I could not bring my self to do that to the KillerB pan. Instead, I decided to grind off a bit of the thermostat bolt on the Mocal adapter. Here's the result:




My final project for the evening was installing a block heater. I actually purchased this block heater in 2003 for my 2002 WRX. The car was frequently in an area with very very cold weather so the block heater was intended to help with super cold starts. I never got around to installing the heater before selling the WRX in 2004 and since it was still sitting here I figured that I would put it on this motor. Even though my car typically sits in storage over the winter I am not really excited about starting a frozen motor with 15w50 oil when I need to move it around.

Its been a while since I updated my thread because I have been waiting on my header and turbo to arrive. Moore Performance posted a few picts of a header identical to the one that I am going to get so here are a few teaser shots. My header will be black instead of gold (at my request).






With a little luck I should have everything here by Thanksgiving. I took the entire week after Thanksgiving off so I should be able to get a ton of work done and post lots of updates.
