Hey. I am looking for an oil pan for the RD1 tibby that has a 3/8" barb welded to it. I would rather buy one, so I can save my other oil pan. If anyone has one for sale PLEASE hit me up with the price. My zipcode is 53005 for shipping as well. Thanks!

3/8ths barb!?!?
1st. 3/8ths is TINY. I use that size for fuel lines LOL
2nd. Spend the extra 20$ and switch to a threaded fitting instead of using barb. Much cleaner install and a little less worry free down the road.
Do it right the first time. Just my .02 cents..take it or leave fing02.gif

Im pretty sure hes using a mitsu turbo and maybe thats the size it uses? Anyway, get a pan and have it ready and let me know. He'll do whatever size you want or whatever and for cheap. Pm me if you want.

It is a 3/8th PIPE barb for the return line not just a 3/8th barb.
So, .375" ID. which is just a bit bigger than a -6. ( 11/32 or .345 ). Like I said, thats what I use for my fuel lines LOL.
Lets compare a -10 to your 3/8th "PIPE" barb.
3/8th = .375" ID
-10 OD 5/8" = 9/16 ID or .5625"
Do you see the difference?
We are trying to help you out to save you $$ down the line. Talk to any experianced turbo mechanic or race mechanic and ask him what you should use.
Hell STOCK boosted dsms have return lines of .590"ID and thats stock.

I am wokring with a local turbo shop that specializes in them. This is the setup that they are telling me to get for the return line. I have everything for it already, except the barb on my oil pan. I am only going by what the turbo mechanics are telling me to do.
