DIY: JDM engine cover

Sion0x · 01-12-2007, 06:48 PM

Tools needed: flat head screwdriver, socket wrench with extension and 10mm socket.

EASY mod, looks great.

1. Get your JDM engine cover japanparts.com : PARTS DATABASE

and pop your hood.

2. Remove the two flathead screws (circled) until they won't unscrew anymore (it'll make sense when you do it - they're a weird kind of screw) You can take the old cover off at this time.

3. Using the 10mm socket wrench, Remove the 2 bolts circled (covered by the new cover in the picture....you'll find them, especially if you try putting the new cover on.)

For steps 2 & 3:

The finished product:

Enjoy!!!

Seemund · 01-13-2007, 12:00 PM

what about the Si>?

PokeyD16Z · 01-13-2007, 04:57 PM

why did you remove the bolts? They should NOT be removed! The new engine cover has little rubber nubs with holes that the bolt heads go into.

All you need to use is a flathead screwdriver...no sockets.

yes, do it ASAP...you removed bolts that go into the head, as far as I remember. I looked into this when i put mine on and determined that the bolts had to be there and couldn't be left out...and if replaced, would have to be replaced by longer ones.

edit: are you telling ppl 3400 yen = 30 USD shipped?
or did you just say you sell one for 30 USD shipped?

Sion0x · 01-15-2007, 12:32 AM

I said 3400yen is about 30 USD. maaaybe 40, i'm not sure exactly.

I posted the link to where I got it. It will ONLY fit the R18 engines.

bodydraggin · 02-03-2007, 05:50 PM

i checked and shipped to my place is 42 bucks. hmmmmm if it was 30 id get it but 42 i dont know

Sion0x · 02-03-2007, 06:00 PM

You probably won't find a cheaper price than that...

Since you're actually ordering from Japan, it has to go through customs and stuff, international shipping isn't cheap.

Mateen · 02-17-2007, 03:53 PM

White Dipstick? Where can I get one of those?

Sion0x · 02-17-2007, 05:52 PM

I actually painted the dipstick, it's silver, just cover the part that actuall touches the oil and spray the part you see in the engine bay.

I don't like the orange either, haha.
