Magnesium bellhousing -- yes or no
Please weigh in.
Predictable responses: "Do you like your feet?" "Is weight savings worth it to you?" Anything else? :D |
Uh WHY :question:
if your flywheel lets lose at 7k you'll lose more than your feet bud.:( It's your body parts so I say the weight savings is definitely worth it. :rofl: |

The higher the RPMs -- there will be a increasing risk of catastrophic failure.
If you're being paid millions to race and risk "everything" -- sure... We're doing TRACK DAYS.... and paying for that privilege to boot! The compromise is building in a bit of reliability, and SAFETY, so we can continue to have fun. Regardless of choice.... Drivers skills (seat time) will beat weight savings every time. :D |
I dunno, I went mag, Tilton says they put there rep on it being stronger than an aluminum piece...
Im still putting a blanket around mine... 75 bucks for a blanket compared to loosing my legs? cheap insurance.. Matt PS: My aluminum bell (no throw out) is 11lbs.. my mag bell with the throw out 8.2lbs.. the mag bell looks cooler though.. |
I should have mentioned we already have a magnesium bell in hand so that is part of the analysis here. The Tilton 7.25" triple is already going in no matter what. Rated to 930 ft lbs with a sub-10 lb flywheel.

Yep my research shows the following: Steel 21 lbs Alum 12 lbs Mag 8 lbs But again, we already have a mag bell with the clutch kit. Thanks guys |
just the basic RCI trans blanket its SFI 4.1
buddy of mine has his glide blow apart... the blanket kept it contained perfectly.. and soaked up some fluid too! WIN WIN |
If you are trying to save weight, stick with the Kevlar over the Ballistic Nylon.....more $ for the Kevlar but I assume you are in it for weight savings since the bell is Mag. :thumbsup:

I am not so sure a trans blanket is the correct application for the road course anyhow.....I am thinking the blanket will trap heat and raise tranny temps? |
