Paul, does anyone know what year and type bell housing is in the picture under intake systems& slide throttles, how to build and assemble your own slide throttle?


Thanks

I suspect that is an RX8 bell housing. Kyle may know as that is the Mazdatrix
engine dyno.


BTW I have some of those brand new  slide throttle assemblys left.
They do not have the teflon liner but that is easy to add as the instructions
are there. The p-port is ideal for aircraft as you will get the lowest fuel
burn for a given HP. I am sure Kyle knows that. We idle the TTC at 3000 RPM  and never
get's below 5000 in the air.


Slide throttle kit. Tubes TIG welded to covers. Weight 2.2 pounds. .032" thick Teflon sheet not included. $100. each cash. Plus $15 for shipping. The Teflon sheet is available from McMaster Carr.

What are you going to use for gear boxes?
Most gear boxes do not need bell-housings.
Bolts and spacer are all that is needed.

Bell housings are too long anyway. They look pretty
however :-) If you cast your own they come out too heavy.
Been there done that :-) The stock are high pressure die cast.
