hey i im building an integra ls motor. i have a crank girdle off a gsr with the journals and bolts still on it. i was told that the ls dosent have a girdle, just has the 5 journals. i want to know if it would be helpful or even possible to put the gsr girdle on if it even helps and also if i would need to use a gsr windage tray and oil pickup. thanks

 

Can be done, must have block line honed with the new main caps.

 

Sorry, also yes on gsr windage tray and pickup.

 

cool thanks, also i was wondering if just using the normal ls journals instead of the block girdle would still be strong for say a boosted motor with forged internals, or do you think i should use the girdle

 

For your goals a girdle is not needed. Especially if your sticking with a LS power band.
