Does is exist? Do you need it in the 6-bolt swap? I ask because I threw away my beat up 7-bolt baffle plate (hit by a rod).

Kevin Johnson said:Very good idea to use one. Data from Nismo indicates having a girdle like that on the 7 bolt Mitsubishi engine in place can lower engine output by as much as 5% due to windage losses. Trays are an attempt to control this.
