I have been waiting for almost a year now for some engine covers since my cover looks like crap without the bulky stock plastic cover on it. I was wondering if you guys could come up with something since you can't put any of the 2.2 or 2.0 covers due to the coil wires going straight back.

And for the strut bar, can it be anoized (spelling) in red or any other color or just the brushed aluminum, and if you machine some sort of work on the bar can it be anoized inside the machined sections?

You can either pm me or just reply, I might be interested in buying the strut bar soon and what's up with the site, not loading for me?

if it makes you feel better the 07 2.2 dont have them either

Beck
09-10-2007, 04:53 AM
This is from a Scion tC, but i'd really like to see something like this for the 2.4 because of its large coil packs. It appears to have some sort of spacers that elevate the coil pack cover to clear:

Thanks for your interest in this product :cool:

We will have it done pretty soon!

We have a design made for the 2.2 right now, just need to be cut, the 2.4 will be pretty similar. We will keep you posted on the updates since we had a lot of people asking for it. This will be a very nice addition to the finish engine bay and will give a unique touch to the car.

We'll keep you updated :cssNET:

Sweet....I was thinking of using the 2.0L cover just get longer bolts and maybe spacers so it will look a little better but will still have a small gap which will look kinda crappy. As soon as these come out I will be the first to buy, and what's the price range looking?

2.0 coil cover will not work, the bolt patterns on the valve covers are not the same.

Are we talking a polished or powdercoated stock cover? or something a lil different? I'm almost ready to send mine off to get chromed.

Sorry about the delay but it's not always easy to get a test car.

We usually dont show prototypes untill they are completed but here you go for the spark plug cover witch will cover most part of the valve cover.

I wish someone would just make a nice spark plug coil cover.....just a little strip like the Honda's have available to them to cover their spark plug wires.

MRZ - RedGTZ
03-17-2008, 11:31 PM
meh not diggin it..way to big..i wud perfer soemthing flat like the lsj but with cut outs for the senors

The cover need to be this way to hide the 4 coils + 2 cam actuators and wiring, we can make it smaller but there will be exposed parts...

if we cud have a flat cover..i wouldnt mind having the coils showing...something like the lsj cover....i dunno that wut i wud want..just my opinon

Here is a 2.4 engine, making something to fit in there is not something easy, if we can make it under the coils, it will not cover anything and will also be a pain to install. It is not easy to come up with a universal design that everyone will appreciate since there is no spark plug covers like we can find on the 2.0 LSJ Supercharged, we have to start from scratch and make something that covers the parts and have a great look.

http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x123/CherryGT/SAVE.jpg

My guess is that we could do it similar to the prototype but smaller...

Let me know if you have any suggestions and we'll work it from there :cssNET:

yeah, you'll be able to get the CF options like on the other parts we sell :cssNET:


So kinda like the inserts for the fuse box cover? I think that would look pretty sweet! And since people have mentioned that the cover is a little larger than they'd like, it might make that a little less noticeable and even more appealing!

Its almost impossible to make something really flat and clear the packs isnt it? It will have to at least angle up at some point...or just be raised in the front, right?

You fully understand the situation there

the coils and cam actuators and wiring is raised too high above the valve cover to make just a small plate like we did with the LSJ 2.0. The picture I posted above clearly show the problem.

the picture posted by elecblue06 just dont apply to the 2.4 due to the previous reasons

We can make the cover smaller in width and depth but the height need to be there to clear the parts underneat, let me know what you guys think...

i'd rather just have it like you have it just not as big .. so it only covers the center section with the coils i don't mind it being bumped up just a tad big i think

MRZ - RedGTZ

Beck
03-19-2008, 09:18 PM
i dont understand why you just dont make a small one like the one i just posted but put spacers inbetween it and the coil packs/wires. so its level, just not flush with the valve cover, still looks way better than stock.

the 2.0 looks good with it flat because the valve cover is flat, i think something rounder that goes with the look of our valve cover would look better.

i'm horrible with gimp but this is kind of my idea, almost a mix of the other photoshops just rounded out to cover the coil's main box, but the steam pops out the back, while the cam sensors would be completely covered and enclosed (not open like the prototype). This whole thing should not sit outside the middle area at all. just a box rounded at the top a "raised" version of the 2.0L's with the coil pack's slotted...

(ignore the cam sensor wires going into the side, they should be fed from the back)

a) elecblue's idea is the best one out of the bunch have it flat on the valve cover and let the plugs for the coil packs stick out...i dont mind that...its the groove between the cams that gets all dirty and nasty all the time and looks like crap...and its also impossible to polish and keep clean so id rather cover it...

b)MRZ...i NEED a 2.4 fuel rail cover PLEASE!!!!

c) if these 2 pieces become available ill be getting them along with the strut tower caps

This is the second prototype, similar to the first but a lot smaller than the previous prototype. The "Cobalt SS" emblem is also smaller on the cover. It will also cover a smaller area but will still cover the coils and have an angle up front.

This is the second prototype, similar to the first but a lot smaller than the previous prototype. The "Cobalt SS" emblem is also smaller on the cover. It will also cover a smaller area but will still cover the coils and have an angle up front.

i'd like 2.4 ion or just ion since that way they wouldn't have to customize it every time.. :D

not much else they could do, just by the way the valve cover and coil packs sit.

yes but I think they should make it bigger so that it covers the whole engine.

I agree if it coverd the hole valve cover it might look better.

I'm going to get it. A paper sac would look better then it does now. Think I might get the oil cap cover as well.

you guys are too picky. What your stating you want is exactly what the first design was and nobody liked it. It just about covered the whole valve cover. What i would like to see is something I made myself.

I rigged up a piece of sheet metal, measured and cut it so it sat in between the coils, bolted on using the 4 coil bolts, and I painted in black. You obviously still see the top of the coils but they dont stick out nearly as much, the problem with the valve cover is not the coils sticking up, but the big recess between the 2 sides. What my design was is pretty much what was discussed the page after the first design was released

heres a rough MS paint drawing
