main girdle for vr v6 or ecotec

[vr1uz-fe]

dose any one know of mains girdles for any v6's

[delcowizzid]

youll most likely have to get a custom made one im building one cause its easier than trying to find one

[vr1uz-fe]

yea i was just wondering if any one sells them they should

i have a mate that can do it but he still needs to eat

it's astonishing how many parts that arnt avaliable for the 6's #### if some of the performance companys seen this site they would see how many ppl are modding these engines and think what are missing out on

[delcowizzid]

years ago there was heaps LOL now even the yanks are getting there cranks from china for there builds

[TrikkBen]

The v6's aren't pushing the power to warrant a main stud girdle, the ones that are probably have custom made ones anyways. We have never done a girdle modification to any of our V6 pan's, and I haven't seen anyone else in Aus making good Buick/Ecotec pans like ours. OP is right though, could be some money there... Might CAD a girdle up and see how it comes out...

i need a girdle as i was only going to do a mild build on this engine now ive been porting the heads ive realised ill need to rev the guts out of it n/a for any benifit so there will be some turbos purchased in the near future and ive got my eyes on some seasond forged rods from the states so it will be at the limets of a 3800 so need all the strenght i can get

check the TA performance website. TA Performance Products Inc.

they do halo girdles for the V6 buick motors as well as 4 bolt mains conversions. they are for older buick motors but may well be the same as our 3800 V6's

that looks nice. would work well if someone could section the sump to suit and because the girdle is tied in to the sump rails with the studs it would make a rock solid bottom end.

We could mod the sump for that quite easily. Delco, Let me know if you need a pan for your build..

srry i forgot to mention why i am using turbos as they will bring the power down to the 5000 rpm range which is where i want it so valve springs dont have to be unobatinum to cope and ill be able to use standerd push rods as well so torque will be big in this build

but as i said im planing on two turbos so it's going to need the girdle

make up your mind already, turbo or n/a. you seem to change your mind more than your undies. what turbos do you plan to use?

hay trikk ben where do you work as i was wondering if you could give me a price on a pan

he works for ASR oilpans. they are a sponsor here

[vr1uz-fe]

i said i was going to go n/a but the way i have ported my heads and manifold it will need the lumpyest cam around to go n/a

so turbo it is

[delcowizzid]

im only going for a girdle cause im going all out if i wasnt going for over 600hp i wouldnt bother

cheers ben will be in touch i have more goodies i need first like my new valves and springs so i can get the heads finished

[TrikkBen]

Delco, No problems mate.
