I know Deist makes a transmission blanket for the hondas, but can the blanket be a replacement for the scatter shield? I would also think it would be lighter than the scatter shield?

Thanks..

Yes it can and IS approved and legal Art.

 

I knew it was legal, just wasnt sure if it could take the place of the scatter shield. Thanks terry. I wonder how much lighter it is..

Scatter sheilds arent that heavy, and those deist blankets arent that light. **** a blanket, get a scatter sheild..

 

XXXRacing(Brian) is using a deist blanket on his crx,he got if from jotech

 

Even if it weights less than 1lb. I would get it. When you add up every pound counts. Learned that from Tony.

I've never seen one of these blankets. Does anyone have a pic?

Apparently you havent seen me lately, i just crank the boost now.

 

You maybe just slightly heavier than me, but you have a lighter car to start off with. I have a pig integra. My goal is 2450 with me in it. I'm in it to win it..

 

I guess I better crank the crap out of my boost on my car.
Thnx for starting this thread art bryan brought up a good point the other day that i forgot engine blankets. he said stroud makes one and it isnt cheap. agh.

 

Peter, I think the one from Deist is $140 if I am not mistaken.

 

I'll take a blanket over a 1.5" wide shield ANY day!!!!!

Lucky, few on here have seen what happens when a clutch EXPLODES!!!!!

 

a clutch spinning at over 9.5krpm cant do that much damage. I just heard from a reliable source that the blanket is heavier, but I would still like to weigh it to find out for sure..

very little damage.........MY ***!!!!!!!!!

Local guy at one of our Import Events,

Hood, windshield, not to mention the tranny and engine!!!!!!

Art, I'd take the extra 5 lbs for a blanket, and toes, fingers etc.

One clutch explosion is all it took Don Garlits to change to the now standard rear engine rail dragsters.

 

I have a deist blanket. The weight is slightly less then a standard scattershield.
HOWEVER, the fitment is HORRIBLE!!!!!!! I as with turboR and a few others all have bad problems with the fitment. The straps do not fit correctly and tend to come loose. I'm actually thinking about sewing some extensions on the straps to make it fit better. Plus I hate how the blanket fits over the VSS and starter area.

Oh yeah the price is $279 (black) to $319+ for other colors last I checked.

Personally I would go with a standard metal setup since its less hassle. I'd rather worry about other things the the blanket coming loose, etc...

 

Mista, I was joking. I know what kind of damage it does.

Mike, I saw you at SEMA at the honda booth but felt kinda stupid going up to you..

I'll post a picture of it when I get a chance.

 

Yes, ive heard it has a troublesome fitment issue also..I have a golden eagle scattersheild, and it went on on 20 mins, real great fitment.

My goal is 2500, so you will prolly be lighter then me. I like to make my car heavy.
My car weighed 2450 when i ran my 10.5, and i need more safety equipment.

 

I have a blanket and it fits pretty good. Took a while to fit it right but it's worth it. The only things are covered up is the starter and the slave cylinder. Blanket hooks need to be drilled larger in order to use stock tranny bolts.
