View Full Version : 2.4 Covers
Viper33884 09-08-2007, 08:14 PM 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?
g5mike 09-08-2007, 08:16 PM I have to agree,i have been waitng for a cover as well,cause our heads dont have a clean look like the other models,I'm surprised that some of these vendors have not picked up on this by now
fortmaccobalt 09-08-2007, 08:51 PM ya im with you guys . i need a nice cover on the go. comon vendors

As for the strut bar try MRZ as he offers a polished or brushed aluminum bar that you van have the ends anodized and the bar custom engraved as well! I'll post pics when mine is done.

Well just drop your pecker, pick up some steel wool and use the same motion on the valve covers, done!:lol:

REIGN SS 09-10-2007, 04:48 AM if it makes you feel better the 07 2.2 dont have them either
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:

fortmaccobalt 09-10-2007, 07:48 PM ya something like that would be sweet
Jimmys2007CobaltSS/C 09-10-2007, 07:54 PM maybe in the future..i hope...
MRZ - RedGTZ 09-10-2007, 11:55 PM 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:
jschatte 09-12-2007, 12:52 AM I would definately get a 2.2 cover, i hate those stupid coil packs!

Viper33884 09-12-2007, 05:42 PM 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.

we're not talking about the valve cover, we're talking about a coil pack cover, which our car does not come with.
Jackalope 09-13-2007, 01:11 AM It better be polished or I won't be able to even think about it.
Brandon97Z 09-13-2007, 07:15 AM Bah i'm fine with just the cover being shiney :)
g5mike 09-13-2007, 09:29 AM just having the coilpack cover will clean up the look of our engine bays so much,i anticipate this to be a big seller!!!
Jackalope 09-13-2007, 09:44 AM I anticipate this to be a big seller as long as its polished
There Mike I fixed it for you. ;)
Viper33884 09-13-2007, 12:56 PM 2.0 coil cover will not work, the bolt patterns on the valve covers are not the same.
Oh...well ok I thought they were all the same bolt pattern.
+Rep for the correction.

Viper33884 01-31-2008, 11:41 PM So a quick bump for some more info and see where the progress is.
redssna 02-01-2008, 12:00 AM I'd be all for one of these. I can't stand looking at my engine bay right now because it's so damn dirty and it's too cold to clean it. Plus it would last like a day with all the salt on the roads.
MRZ - RedGTZ 02-20-2008, 12:55 AM it's getting there :P we will have a test vehicle soon to complete the testing of the 2.4 Stainless Steel covers. I'll keep you posted :)

Yea trust me we all know, I tried to polish mine up a little with some Mothers Aluminum polish....shit it's going to take a long time, I might just buy another valve cover and send it to a machine shop for polishing. :cussing:

BigTizzle903 02-20-2008, 06:49 PM whats the status on the 2.2 covers??
Viper33884 02-20-2008, 06:51 PM whats the status on the 2.2 covers??
I think he said after he gets the 2.4 covers finished he will start on the 2.2.
BigTizzle903 02-20-2008, 07:00 PM oh i thought i read, on the second page i think, he said he had the 2.2 in the works and the 2.4 was coming next.
yea this is what he said
"We have a design made for the 2.2 right now, just need to be cut, the 2.4 will be pretty similar"
Viper33884 02-20-2008, 09:55 PM Hmmm...well guess I was wrong?

elecblue06 03-11-2008, 11:06 AM i can't wait to see results :D
Jackalope 03-11-2008, 03:38 PM I call BS! Since September of last year this has been "in the works" and nothing yet? Yeah right! The reason we have no pics yet is cause its NOT being made!
SilvrLT 03-11-2008, 03:48 PM Hopefully this gets finished soon I would like one before the GM nationals this summer, or else I will just polish th valve cover
Jackalope 03-11-2008, 03:54 PM Hopefully this gets finished soon I would like one before the GM nationals this summer, or else I will just polish th valve cover
Just polish it! They're NOT making anything for us, face it! I mean seriously if they were you'd think that at least prototype pics would be up by now!
Cobalt443 03-11-2008, 04:14 PM It would be great time to release these if they exist as tax returns are now coming back.
MRZ - RedGTZ 03-11-2008, 06:11 PM I called a guy a couple time to get his car to finish the fitment, he will finally get here later this week ;)
I'll keep you posted when thing are ready and we'll take some picture of the cover installed.
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.

elecblue06 03-12-2008, 01:18 AM how bout the one for the 2.2?
see i'm confused don't you guys already have a cover on there stock?
yellowltcoupe22 03-12-2008, 01:26 AM kinda.. are you referin to the big black piece of shit plastic cover or the one thats made to the coil packs? either way neither one of em look that good.. i took the plastic cover off. it covered the entire engine..
elecblue06 03-12-2008, 01:53 AM kinda.. are you referin to the big black piece of shit plastic cover or the one thats made to the coil packs? either way neither one of em look that good.. i took the plastic cover off. it covered the entire engine..
no hmm maybe it's just different depending o the year
yellowltcoupe22 03-12-2008, 01:59 AM yeah i think the 07 to newer have a coil on plug like the lsj and have a cover for that.. the 05-06 have a thing that looks like a cover but actually has the coils made inside of it.. i'll take pics tomorrow and post em.
REIGN SS 03-12-2008, 02:05 AM the 05-06 2.2 have the cover, like on the LSJ (2.0)
in 07, they(2.2) have the coilpacks that stick out, and the 2.4 have always had the coilpacks that stick out

Zdeuce4 03-17-2008, 07:08 PM MRZ FTMFWW!!!!!!!!!! my whole engine bay is gonna be covered in billet parts..
Mathieu.. will it be possible to get the cobalt ss leters in CF?
elecblue06 03-17-2008, 09:43 PM what about having one just where the bolts are? like for the center piece? more like what the 2.2s / lsjs come with stock?
and it looks like my chop was accurate lol
i don't think it looks bad .. i just think the valve cover needs some love now lol
iLLmaTic3s 03-17-2008, 10:15 PM meh not diggin it..way to big..i wud perfer soemthing flat like the lsj but with cut outs for the senors

yeah, you'll be able to get the CF options like on the other parts we sell :cssNET:
that thing is huge... I don't know if i really like it...
it looks huge since this is a close shot of it... the OEM plastic is huge, this not even close to the oem thing
WhiteSSBalt 03-17-2008, 11:28 PM 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...
iLLmaTic3s 03-17-2008, 11:40 PM 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
MRZ - RedGTZ 03-18-2008, 12:14 AM 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:

yellowltcoupe22 03-18-2008, 12:45 AM what kinda design would ya'll be thinkin of for the 2.2 that would cover the exsistin coil cover..? i want some that looks better than the stock coil thing that the 2.2 has..
iLLmaTic3s 03-18-2008, 12:46 AM just like that..but flashy looking..lol..if u wud b worked out for the 2.4
elecblue06 03-18-2008, 01:46 AM http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u158/suprman133/91010030.jpg
something like that
this is kinda like what i was talking about
YellowSS06 03-18-2008, 04:26 AM 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!
SilvrLT 03-18-2008, 10:24 AM Yeah somthing flat, that looks horrible the way it sticks up, I guess I will just polish my valve cover, more work but it looks cleaner.:thumbsdow
YellowSS06 03-18-2008, 10:48 AM 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?
MRZ - RedGTZ 03-18-2008, 10:56 AM 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...
iLLmaTic3s 03-18-2008, 11:41 AM yes it does not apply to the 2.4...but havin something like that..but flat and have cut outs for the coils...
elecblue06 03-18-2008, 02:19 PM 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 03-19-2008, 09:16 PM We'll be making a new cover that will be smaller in the next days. I will be posting pictures of the new prototype when it's done ;)
thanks for posting your comments, it help us make what you guys are really looking for :)
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.

awesome.. it's not that i didn't like that design but i just think a smaller one would probaly sell better and i'd like that MORE lol :twothumbs can't wait to see

This is the best of the bunch...it's small, but needs to cover the coils!
bigworm 03-25-2008, 03:29 AM 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)

thats not a bad idea
i like that idea and it looks like they could make a fuel rail cover to be like the lsj's as well.. that would be awesome

I've been wanting to fab my own covers for a long time. if you notice the two bolt holes right on the fuel rail where it mounts to the head, perfect spot to mount a fuel rail cover...

exactly what i was talking about... look at my pic.. how doid you get those holes open?
bigworm 03-25-2008, 04:24 AM exactly what i was talking about... look at my pic.. how doid you get those holes open?
its not my pic, but mine is simular. those holes are used to hold the coolant overflow hose in place. mine is hanging loose, this guy seemed to use a little strap and makes it much cleaner..
or maybe im on crack, i dunno. its been a while since i've seen a stock 2.4 engine bay =]

YES YES YES!!! thats wut i wanna hear... got money in the pocket ready to spend...
MikeyMo84 04-03-2008, 07:40 PM 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
d) can u do white anodization (sp?)
riko540 04-03-2008, 07:59 PM I can't wait to see the new proto type.

TonyK 04-11-2008, 11:55 AM How bout a flat cover with humps pressed in to clear the coils. Or maybe something cast. But I'm sure MRZ doesnt have the capability to do this, and it would be quite expensive.

What he said, I would not mind having one for my Ion. Have it say like "Saturn" or "2.4 ION"

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

iLLmaTic3s 05-17-2008, 02:22 PM im on the fence about it. would really need to see it in person
p.s. take off that oil cap spacer.
Zdeuce4 05-17-2008, 03:48 PM better than nothin!!! i like it... plus my valve cover is black so itll be a nice touch
INDColtsFan18 05-17-2008, 09:09 PM not what I expected, and more $65 im not sure about it.
elecblue06 05-17-2008, 09:27 PM not quite what i expected either but it's not bad
steddy2112 05-17-2008, 09:32 PM Pass.
riko540 05-17-2008, 11:35 PM hmm it is better, but still looks like the first one.
joeworkstoohard 05-17-2008, 11:37 PM not quite what i expected either but it's not bad
not much else they could do, just by the way the valve cover and coil packs sit.
riko540 05-17-2008, 11:45 PM 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.
REDFOCZ 05-18-2008, 12:47 AM I agree if it coverd the hole valve cover it might look better.
elecblue06 05-18-2008, 02:00 AM I agree if it coverd the hole valve cover it might look better.
hmm something like the astra valve cover with ecotec in the corner.. this really isn't bad either but i think i need to see it in person
iLLmaTic3s 05-18-2008, 11:18 AM yo someone buy it in ny and come to the ny meet so i can see if i want it or now..haha
firedude71_60 05-18-2008, 04:52 PM p.s. take off that oil cap spacer.
Agree!!
I'm not sure about it. It's ok but like some others, I would have to see it in person
CobaltBuddy 05-19-2008, 04:12 PM 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.
SSBolt24V 05-19-2008, 09:37 PM I agree if it coverd the hole valve cover it might look better.
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

Red dots donate locations of bolts
elecblue06 05-19-2008, 09:51 PM i think waht redfocz was thinkin was something more like this

but flat and metal lol
SSBolt24V 05-19-2008, 10:15 PM O....more power to him :lol: + that thing would prolly cost like $500 from MRZ lol
riko540 05-21-2008, 02:20 PM O....more power to him :lol: + that thing would prolly cost like $500 from MRZ lol
