Scatter shield or no scatter shield?
Should I get one of these when I get my block done by GE? They are going for 160 and I am hoping to push alot of power 350+. Is it worth the money or should I put it somewhere else? Thanks

If you run track event and run faster than 11.99, they are required...
the biggest problem is finding them now... i called GE and they had
me call AC Autotechnica and they said a 2 week wait.. if you have
any faster hookups, drop me a line...

info here: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=164556, I am not sure if you have to get the sleeves to get the shield. Not sure on the wait either.
Are these things necessary? A good precaution?

Re: Scatter shield or no scatter shield? (2K_TEG)
after this last weekend at the Lone Star nationals, one guy in a white b20 ls/vtec integra blew up an ACT clutch that ripped through the bell housing, snapped the driveshaft and grenaded into the tranny, taking out a less than one month new type r trannsmission and partial damage to the block. He was putting down around 200ish hp to the wheels. I would have to say get a scatter shield regardless.

That just goes to show you how benificial a scatter shield is. If anyone wants one call Girard at jistasu racing. He probably looking to do a group buy after his experience!!!!!

STR is out of business if you didnt know by now. You dont need a scatter shield unless you are running at a track. Rules states that if you running faster then 11.99 (i think) then you are required to have it. It's bascially a safety device to protect you.
edit- you can purchase the scatter shields from AC Autotechnic.

I have seen a blanket kinda like a bullet proof vest that goes around your tranny for the same reason, is that as effectice as the scatter shield?

well...unless your are running a 11.99 or faster put your money elsewhere. If you have a aluminum flywheel, your way less likely to shatter it. They all fit poorly and make it so you lose the amount the bolts for the trany go into the block. I have striped out threads because of the B&M scatter sheild. Plus if it shatters, its on the passanger side so its not going to hit the driver.
