Ls-Vtec turbo...Block girdle???

[bRiAnMcIvIcS]

Do you guys recommend using a block girdle on Ls-vtec turbo setups? Could i just get a gsr girdle machined to fit? Gsr mains? What else would i need?

Any thoughts on a golden eagle block guard? I heard block guards cause alot of heat at the top of the cylinder walls. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

unless its a road race motor the girdle is not needed

you need someway to get more oil up on your rods.

buddy of mine has a 600hp+ motor, just ate a bearing. not enought oil pressure.

LS bottom end too. so be careful

i think if its possible, since ignition takes place in the top of the cylinder then i beleave it better to maybe place the brace about .5" lower in the deck and make it more like a mid deck design. what you guys think? i mean at least more coolant and heat transfer at top of the cylinder right?

At the most i wanna get 350whp not much more than that. Im gonna be using cp pistons, eagle rods, arp head studs, golden eagle vtec kit, arp rod bolts, and acl bearings. I was kinda wondering if i should get a block guard, Any info?
