bellhousing cracked

[stephenz]

2g gsx 2.4 w/hks gt3540bb turbo we had a t72qtrim before everything was fine because of the lag,but as soon as we put the hks turbo on the clutch just took a shit on us,when we pooped the hood the bellhousing is cracked from the starter tothe slave cyl.Ive never seen that before,has anyone experienced that before or know what caused that.we are planning on pulling it out this tuesday after memorial day,Im just wondering if anyone may have an idea before we yank it apart.

Found this out myself. Safety wire is your friend.

Well, mine did'nt crack but it did come loose and I had a SERIOUS vibration. Destroyed my clutch disc and my TOB along with the input shaft cover/guide that the TOB rides on. All this on a brand new TRE tranny and ACT clutch/disc/flywheel setup. $500 later it's all better. So like I said, safety wire is your friend.....and mine from now on w/ these bolts.

Same as the rest of the world does. You drill holes through the fasteners and wire them together:
