Hi guys,
As some of you are aware, i'm in the motion of producing a billet girdle for the rb's. The first one is designed for the 4wd rb30 guys, but i have the capacity to get them made for any rb engine.
What i need to find out is what kind of interest there would be for such an item. There are 2 options, the latter would be the better option, but the first one i have one going in a track car very shortly, so we'll see how that one works.
a) 2 piece billet girdle - The girdle incorporates the sump adapter for the 4wd rb30 conversion. It has a step down to fit to the std cradle (which the main caps are machined to fit)
b) 1 piece billet girdle - The girdle again incorporates the sump adapter for the 4wd rb30 conversion. It is a single unit and replaces the entire std cradle. The bearings are fitted to this new girdle.
The pics below are of the 2 piece option. I'm currently working on the 1 piece girdle, however it wont be ready for some time.
Pricing for these arent cheap, i'll be making 2 parts of stuff all ontop also. 2 piece is around the $2000 mark (including everything needed to bolt it on). 1 piece is around the $3000 mark, pricing for the 1 piece isnt definate yet.
One thought i have had, is to offer the girdle with a machined block/crank to suit. That way eliminating any form of machining error, done in the one place to exact specifications.
I welcome your thoughts and opinions.
cheers
Shane
