01txr Member 861 Member For: 18y 3m 11d Gender: Male Location: QLD Posted 09/12/10 12:10 PM Share Posted 09/12/10 12:10 PM Went into ford today to inquire about main girdle Windage tray for my new BA engine build. Anyway they list different part number for BA and fg turbo with the fg one being the cheaper option. What I would like to know is what the difference is and will they fit the BA engine. If they don't fit why and is it worth making it fit if practical. Are they thicker or stronger?I'm in need of one urgent as well sump. If anyone has one local to Brisbane let me know.

I'm sure someone with a bit more knowledge on the topic will tune in soon mate.

As for the fg this isn't an issue so all cylinders have a baffle. I'm in the process of changing Ba to fg f6 bottom end hence how I know all u have to do is cut away the baffle part with tin snip its clear when you compare them what needs to be done . Also a point to make out here is nearly all fg parts are cheaper because ford want us to buy new cars instead of repairing old ones. I found this out when the price I received for a bf typhoon short motor was 300 dollers dearer and the fg is better any way.Hope this clears things up.

Which girdle do I have to purchase? What modifications if any, are required?

Will drill out spot welds to remove baffle plate splash shield piece for turbo oil return off my damaged girdle And tack it in place onto the XT one as it is the only difference. Or if I can scrounge enough doe I will get a atomic girdle.
