I hope I can help (This actually should not be posted in General Automotive which is for everything unrelated to RX-8s). What on earth did your brother do? How could he "blow up the bell housing and rear housing"? Is it turbocharged, running nitrous? Did he hold it at 10k rpm and leave it there?

Anything he could have done to damage those parts has probably damaged more parts than that.

Engines don't just "blow up" especially non turbo engines. If the rear flat housing is broken, there's even a chance it happened during installation as Mazda warns about the potential of that due to not aligning the dowel on the housing to the bolt hole on the gearbox bell housing. Are you saying the engine stopped running one day or is it still functional? If you need a flat housing then you need MAJOR surgery (An engine rebuild).
