good luck with that lol

i have heard these rumors but what is the actual evidence that it is superior?

Haha never know, I'll be doing a few special things to it that not many have done in Aus.

I picked one up for $300 from melb (23u block) and every cylinder wall was thicker than most RB26 blocks (05u, 24u) that Herman has seen and also hardness as well. He showed me a few blocks that he had there and the difference in thickness, hardness etc

Certainly beats paying $6k for a 24u.

I'm testing the first one (for RB26) so watch this space.

We are almost finished just waiting on tunnel boring etc.

is the integrated main cap version made from Steel or are they all Aluminium?

I believe there will be a billet steel one coming out as well, although best to ask PRP to get an accurate answer.

You'd be pretty game to be making a main cap out of a dissimilar metal to the block. I'd expect there would be issues/fretting due to thermal expansion coefficients?

The companies making the braces these days wont say at what power/setup you need the brace, they just want your money.

A search on SAU reveals this.
