Thanks,  I also have a Renesis pan.   From the scan, I would say the
oil pick up  bolts to the center housing.  Do you agree the  end of
the pick up tube should be relocated full depth in the back of the
wedge pans?    Jerry

I am pretty sure it bolts to the bottom of the oil pump
or the front housing.

Yes on full depth. You will have to fab one as the stock appears
to be plastic.

BTW Mazdatrix has somebody modifying stock oil pans.
These are brazed. Good idea to deepen your pan to hold
more oil if you have the room. More oil takes longer
to heat up on takeoff power.

I found that the 13B oil pickup will fit a Renesis with very little
modification.  The holes in the 13B pickup tube are only a few thousands
off, so minimal grinding will allow it to bolt right to the Renesis.  It
extends down a tad over 3".

This is what I'm using, along with a custom oil pan.

BTW Scott what have you decided to do on the cooling set up? I am kind of
curious.
