Can we bolt a cheap summit racing SFI flywheel shield on and be legal? Anyone know if a transmission blanket is required too?

Is this correct? What are you guys using?

Also, looking at the nhra rules. It looks like a aftermarket bellhousing might be required for 11.99-10.00.

I want to be legal for 10.99-10.00

Scroll down about a third of the way and look for page 34 section 6. Its under the drivetrain section. Hope it helps with your question.

Okay, do you know if a cheap summit racing flywheel shield will do the trick?

Anyone know if a tranni blanket is needed?

 

I recall seeing a site that sold bolt-on scatter shields for rotary transmissions.

 

So, this shield is the only thing that's needed?

I don't need a tranni blanket too?

 

I would probably just try to call an official on Monday. Events are over for the rest of the year anyway, right?

 

As far as I know the scatter blankets are only good for automatics. If you have a 5 speed you need the scatter shield.

Well, anyone else know for sure?

 

You only need a scatter sheid and you cant use a blanket they are for autos ONLY.

 

hmm, i never even thought about puttin a scatter sheild on my car. Are there any reports of a rotary fd's flywheel ever exploding?

 

PP is more of the concern and im sure that metal has saved someone from lossing a foot so that why they made it a rule. From past experiences they dont look very hard at the scatter sheild, just make sure its there.

 

They are going to look at mine........ I already broke the rules one time and they let me know that they would be going over my car with a fine toothed comb next time I'm there.

Anyone know who else sells the scatter shields?

Spi 6 rated, so you dont need a scatter shield since the housing is rated itself....

 

you talking about the $1,200 one? That's too rich for my blood!

 

Doooh!, missed that one, i had that link from when I was looking for scatter shields... LOL

 

$299

 

You guys know if anyone makes a aluminum shield? It seem that steel ones would be a good 30-35 lbs!

 

Been talking with Tony from http://www.theracingstore.com/drv_scatter_shields.html . He's fabbing me up a bolt in scatter shield for my 3rd gen ($275). It has to be made of 1/4 inch steel to be NHRA legal so no alluminum

Also, no tranni blanket needed. They're only used for automatics.

 

Damn, I'm going to need to drop some more weight somehow. This steel scatter shield and steel driveshaft loop are going to be heavy as heck

 

Steel driveshaft loop!!?? What's up with that; another NHRA regulation? If so, maybe I should be shooting for slower times.

 

RWD cars running 13.99 or quicker with slicks and cars running 11.49 or faster with street tires need driveshaft loops.

 

I got my scatter shield from Tony @ theracingstore.com fits like a glove. There was a tab on top of the bellhousing that needed to be cut off to fit but that took all but 5min to take off and grind smooth. This was on a turboII transmission don't know if the 3rd gen transmission bellhousing is different. Tony is a great guy to deal with and a good friend of one of my good friends. I buy almost all my stuff from him. He will go out of his way to help you out.

 

That's who I talked to the other day. Seemed nice. I'll buy from him.
