In another post, someone said this was needed in order to get the hytech/rage header to fit:





My question is to all of you who have had Hytech personally modify theirs, is this how John does it? And after all this has been grinded away, does it still serve as a flywheel cover? From all that I've read, it seems that the brace's purpose as transmission support is questionable. But, will it still serve as a cover with so much material taken off?

 

diy with a cutting wheel or even a dremel.....

 

just buy a gsr/b16/ls flywheel cover. thats what i did

Hah, out of the question now. In the 10-15 mins I was away, I was almost done dremeling when I thought I could bring a hammer to the piece, breaking off the extra section. But, instead, it broke the whole damn support in half

Even after trying to test fit the one broken half, it seems that the flywheel will still be exposed.

gsr/b16/ls flywheel cover it is

Bummer. That's an expensive mount to replace.

 

i also ditched the ITR tranny brace and went with the GSR hardware

The diagrams on hondapart's doesn't show too much detail as to how the gsr hardware works. Is it nearly the exact same thing as the itr piece, but with enough separation to allow the hytech/rage to fit?

It seems that most people haven't had any negative experiences with the whole brace off. My point in grinding the the itr piece down was to keep it as a flywheel cover, not as a support brace.

I just wish someone had a pic of the gsr hardware + hytech/rage setup.

 

no, the ITR is one single solid piece...

the GSR involves a cover and 2 separate other pieces...
you can elect to use just the cover tho

 

give me your email, i'll send you a pic of my setup...

we-todd is down right now so i can post it

Wow, it still looks like a really tight fit. But it's still better than nothing, I suppose.

 

its tight but it clears without any modification

like i said tho, you can elect to use just the cover and not the GSR braces

Here are some pics that I took recently of the GSR vs. ITR transmission-block stiffener(s).
