I think they are $650 posted for the plate, or $990 with the oil pickup, all the fasteners and the guide for "notching" the block, they are the only one so far that noone has complained about fitment problems. They can be bought off their store on ebay, or through www.proengines.com

Do you blame them?

I mean, honestly, they've done the hardwork in designing them as part of a 'package' to sell to customers.

Its unlikely someone paying for a full motor will mass produce parts/copy, but someone just wanting one... its highly like its going to be copied.

That said, if proengines are selling them, then why ring anywhere else?

With a 800hp setup, dont you know a fabricator or decent quality?

[shanef]

ash, you cant really copy this type of item without pretty much designing it from scratch and making a fair few templates in the process urself. it took me 4 trial plates and many many hours in the shed measuring and drafting up just for the adapter plate, as every hole has to be pretty much perfectly aligned. I'm now 1/4 way through the first run for the main caps/adapter plate, and this one has to be even more accurate.

Yes there's alot of man hours gone into a thing like this, but at the end of the day, if there's people wanting them, why would workshops turn them away if they know they are going to make profit on them.

But anyhoo, i should have my first girdle back from the machinist in the next 2 weeks.

Shane your plate inc girdle bearing caps seems to be the only one so far that I am aware of.

I have often wondered why no-one has done it that way as the strength and stability of such a design has to be the way to go.

The cost obviously will be more so let us know how much and exactly how the plate and caps will be integrated.

[shanef]

The problem is going to be getting it to fit perfectly, as to accomodate the main bearings and the way they are notched into the caps. It can be done, but a few trial copies are gonna have to be made.

Another thing is, you'll have to source some longer ARP main studs, but that's no biggie.

[jonn]

I know that RIPS sold one to an aussie customer who then turned around and copied the design claiming them as his own (it wasn't pro engines). He sold the copy to a guy in the UK and it was a piece of crap. Rob found out about it and was none to happy.

[Abo Bob]

Please forgive my noobness but these are only necessary for GTR/4wd yes?

[shanef]

that's correct

[Beer Baron]

I don't know what the big drama is. pro-engines make them. by all accounts they are a top product that greg designed and made after seeing growing need for a kit so people could build their own RB30s for GTR. call him up, send him some money and you are under way
