im thinking of using the hybrid garge girdle cause they said u do not have to have any maching done what soever because they said the dowls are supplied with it and are made to fit the stock main cap bolts but has anyone ever used it htx it looks strong

 

...or better pictures of one?

Yup, he is correct. I doubt anyone is running it yet. But I do know that this girlde has been stressed tested. Great design.

may be dumb question but what the hell does it do?

 

It helps support the crankshaft on high HP motors. When you build you motor with high performance parts you risk putting too much stress on the main caps. The girdle helps by tying all the main caps together which makes it much stronger *basicly*. That girdle is huge. How much does it weigh?

 

will any machining be requierd for that thing or will it bolt in cause it dosent look like the #3 main cap part is lower just wondering

 

where can i get one? how much are they? and will it fit my b18a?

 

these look to be a great piece. you can get them here http://hybridgarage.com/ they are like $500

 

im pretty sure the one shown is for a B18C...
..the're suppose to be direct bolt-up (with all the other parts of course)...
dont know whether to get that or a JimFab Radius Arm....

 

what is a jim fabe radius arm explain plz

ok thanks man

 

We have 2 versions. The pictures show the B18C girdle.

The B18A/B18B/B16A/B20 version has the #3 main cap "post" machined down so no extra work is needed.

The price is $389.99 and it includes a set of no-drill steel dowels to lock it in place. No machining work is required, only a GSR oil pickup, GSR windage tray and GSR main cap bolts.

Hope this answers most of your questions.

Oh, here are pics of the B16A/B18B girdle:

anyword on when H series will be released?

 

Great, I come back to this post a day after I've got the GSR back in and running...

Nice peice though... Think I'll need one for my other engine...

 

Can we use this stuff to the Honda B 18C WITH Moroso Oil Pan and Moroso Oil Pick Up ?
Thank you.

 

We have not tested it with the Moroso oil pan or pickup. However, if the pickup was designed for a B18C, I'd say there's probably about a 90% chance that it will fit.

 

We're working on the H-Series, and it will be released very very soon. It is more complex due to the oil channels in the girdle. We just want to make sure it's bulletproof before we release it

 

if i wasnt taking a trip to FL next week youd already have my money..and probably be shiping it to me right now....

 

nice piece
What grade of aluminum do you use?

 

Currently 6061-T6.

We are considering making a run of 7075 girdles for a premium price, based on several requests we've had.
