what i'm actually looking for is a crank brace that bridges the 5 main caps.
I know spoon makes them, and they are very expensive and hard to get,
anybody know of other companies making a block brace that increases the rev capability of a bseries bottom end?

you sure you need one?

what is your setup?

seems like alot of people with gsr/itr block races seem pretty happy.

 

Z-10 nukkuh!!

 

i think spoon does also. pretty ****** expensive though.

 

hmm, let me be more specific, what i'm looking for is a crank brace that bridges all 5 main bearing caps.

this one does look interesting, wish they listed a price or part # and maybe a little more info.

cause it let's you rev to 20,000 rpm, and gaurantees your motor will never fail, ever....but seriously, does anybody know anything about this z10 brace? is it at least functionally similar?

 

I believe the z10 is only going to support 3 main bearing caps vs 5 (Spoon)

same with the endyn one. I think z-10 and endyn sure know what they're doing when it comes to designing parts. The hybrid garage one bolts to all 5 mains, though.

 

the link shows one that covers 5, the old one did only 3 and i heard there were alot of fittment issues. makes me sceptical about this one.

actually i posted this thread in four forums, and i've gotten different responses in two and none in the others, i'm trying to get info, and someone might know in the N/A forum, but then again someone might know in the tech forum, i'm just trying to increase my chances of getting a knowledgeable response, and if i had posted a link people would be less likely to follow up with a reponse.

 

ok dont do that then. that takes up too much bandwidth, and if you had searched in the beginning, you wouldve found tons of answers. search "block girdle" newbies

 

oh no! god forbid someone ever be new to something, my apologies for not post whoreing, now how much bandwith did i steal when posting this topic in 4 forums as opposed to your 300 useless posts per day,
and yes, i searched... i searched for quite a while before i decided to post,it's not bolck girdles i'm looking for, you can tell by the responses that it's not too common a subject.
uberwhore

 

good one thread . if you check i actually make 11.8 posts perday. not whorish at all. well i guess you know now that not many make something like that spoon piece. most of the others are simply girdles.

 

yeah, but i'll still keep looking, a friend of mine who owns a speed shop told me there were a few other companies making them.

 

damn so how high are you planning to rev your motor?

 

right now i'm still planning my next setup, i'm just curious if the product is out there, both spoon and Z10 seem to have discontinued this product (at least for now)

 

just to give you an idea, my motor is good to rev till 10600 rpm and i'm still using the stock caps. and i don't even take it that high though. so not many guys out there are willing to rev pass 10k anyways. so imo theres no need for a brace to hold pass 11k. but if you want to do it then i would recomend the spoon brace. you will be spending some cash just trying to make power that high. you might as well invest on a good quality brace.
i'm sure you can still get the spoon one. but you might have to go directlly to the source.
