what do you think about this? pro´s / cons?

and just for info: I DON´T WANT TO BUY THIS, I´M ONLY INTERESTED!

 

Well they use it on their engines that they rev past 10.5K religiously if that says anything. I believe that you also need special oil pan to use it?

 

I've never seen it. What is this SUPPOSED to do? Looks crazy.

Links all the main caps to the block and distributes the load a hell of a lot better than linking the main caps to themselves only.

 

function 7 makes a similar one

so, it is useful for high rpm engines?

 

Spoon makes an oil pan too. Would it be reasonable to think it should work with the pan they make? How ever the hell it fits under there it looks pretty sick!

Still not the same concept as the Spoon Sports one though. Linking all the maincaps to themselves and linking them all to the block is quite different.

 

hummm.. looks like we need someeone selling spoon to step in to explained the application and the right oil pan for it...

any sponsored member, pls

 

I think that Z-10 also makes one. http://www.z10eng.com/

Sorry no direct link, but it is under engine page.

 

Ive seen one in person once. At Type One.
It does requre the oil pan.
And I guess the reason why nobody has them is because they cost about $5000.00.

This becomes big obstacle of the thing where inertial forces of the piston and the like keep increasing engine rpm mainly with cause. B18C crank cap 2/3/4th does Takaide power measure with the ladder beam which extends over, adjusts to the high rigid block and with usual revolution sufficiently is a margin. But in the spoon furthermore high revolution, pursuing Takaide power. Lower part the whole block was unified, the oil pan was designed in that lower part, toward usual 11,000 revolutions aimed. This technique in the pure race/lace engine design with effective method, being to come out of this structure does racing engine peculiar that sound. Inside the case at the time of high revolution, oil becomes like the moose and because it becomes difficult to flow, inside has administered the measure such that the surface roughness is increased. As for oil capacity approximately 6600cc and enlargement, freeboard almost it is identical. The form of this part, shape has displayed function well.

Hehe I was just reflecting on the price and it would be wiser to just get a k series swap that has all 5 mains incorperated into a brace from the factory.

Yeah I woukd say so..

You have to buy the oil pan with the brace, it was Spoon's way of ensuring that the pieces couldn't be bought separately.

If you don't buy the pan with the brace, from what I recall looking at it when I was at Spoon, you'd have a section that would be exposed under the block. (meaning oil would fly out )

Where did you see this? I was looking at http://www.Inlinefour.com the other day, and the b-series oilpan is like $300. It didn't look like this was part of it though??? Where did the $5000 that someone mentioned come from? For that much I had better be getting a whole engine and trans. Does Spoon have another website that is in english?

 

Spoon has two oil pans.

One that is stock with the baffles welded in..and another one that is all aluminum with fins....

anodized blue like their calipers.

The stock one does not work with the brace....

 

Ok, cool. But is there some place we can all check it out? Website or something? Like I said the "stock" like one with the baffles is on inlinefour.com. Is there another Spoon website?

 

Brease is that what spoon calls it? or is that just bad spulling?

 

that´s really what spoon calls it....

 

so both then.... stupid engrish transration-

btw anyone with a pix of the oilpan that RagingAngel mentioned, i mean, i stop by spoon and don't see the anodized blue oil pan as said..

u guys reckon this block brease actually work?.

does it actually work...well spoon uses them on thier motors that rev to 11k, i would say they work, i mean its SPOON, have u seen anything from them thats not functional...

 

Ya spoon makes a special pan as previously stated ^^ It helps keep the oil from being sapped from the motor

 

Here is a pic off of there page.
If you dl the gsr helms pdf from hybrid garage there is a pic of it on the first page.
