AAM Billet Crank Girdle w/ Integrated Windage Tray
AAM VQ35DE Billet Crank Girdle w/ Integrated Windage Tray
Its seems that every day I see higher and higher output VQ35s. As the Z prices continue to drop over time, I think we'll see more and more heading to the track with serious output - similar to the Supra / Evo power evolution. With the demand of power comes the need for heavy duty parts.
Recently, we took the opportunity to develop a billet crank without sacrificing the streetability of the stock unit. One that will function as well on the street as the track. The end result was a billet crank girdle with integrated windage tray that is also pre-clearanced for stroker cranks.
Key Benefits:
- Increased strength over OE unit while retaining OE windage benefits
- Retains more oil in pan during heavy acceleration/corning
- Reduced drag and oil foaming
- Clearanced for Stroker Cranks
As these pieces are time intensive, they are special order only. But we'll still be able to ship them quickly - within a weeks time from date of order.
MSRP: $699.00

no kidding... looks nice but ..they should stop posting the mrsp...what are you really selling it for?
'cause the msrp pruce us retarded..and i can tell because I have a this setup, custom made for me so know the costs associated.
and jet pilot is correct in the sense that very few builds actually need this....

looks nice, but if were designing a stronger maning cap girdle, I'd make it fom billet steel! why make is out of aluminum? a steel girdle is going to be so much stronger and stiffer (given the same dimensions).
...and while you're at it making a steel girdle, make billet steel main caps too!!! now, you'll be talking about one stiff crank support.

Not sure if GTM every got the quality control issues sorted out but they do make billet steel main caps and girdle.

Correct, we offer a similar billet girdle - on sale for $249 shipped. These are cheap insurance for high rpm setups in my opinion, and are necessary for stroker setups.

mixed metals? are you aware that our main caps are cast iron and theo stock main cap girdle is aluminum? is that what you mean by mixed metals being a bad idea?

don't worry. I'm pretty sure alot of guys don't realize that the mains are cast iron on this engine, but that is very normal.
so, needless to say, a billet steel main cap girdle would have no metallurgy conflicts with the stock cast iron main caps.

I shoulda looked at the 3rd pic though, as the cast is pretty obvious
I'm thinking like a 4 cyl guy still, all the modern **** is using full AL bottom ends for weight reasons, also with 5 mains on a 4 cyl its a lot easier on each journal than a V-6 setup. My mistake
Had no idea, I know nothing about these motors yet

just going off pics from my engine build thread which had a good view of the stock girdle:
aside from material differences, this looks like it has much wider bridges at the bolt section, and increased clearance for a proper stroker crank
