I am suppose to be getting a box this week full of Mugen goodies.
One of the goodies is a Mugen Carbon Fiber Ignition Coil Cover.
My question now is...
Should the Cover be on a certain tightness?
What i mean is, should I use a torque wrench and put it at a certain weight, or do i just tighten it a lot?

Just tighten it. You really only need to worry about torque if it's on the wheel....you don't really want the wheel to fall off do you?

tsxdriver

yeah just tighten it. if you over tighten, you might crack the cf

grenas17

Thanks for the replies.
So just keep tightening it, until it feels firm and stop before i crack it right?
I am just being careful because it cost a pretty penny for it.

tsxdriver

exactly

grenas17

Awesome.
Thanks again everyone for the really quick replies.

It's not going to fit your year, so you should send it my way at a discount.

tsxdriver

How much weight does this save you? 1 lb?

grenas17

Haha!! If i really wanted to save weight, i would have just bought a little lotus or something.
I bought that stuff for personal satisfaction.
I always envied people with mugen parts so i fured what the heck, and spent the money got a couple myself.

MMsTSX

yeah.... it's about the bling.

grenas17

Exactly!!!!!

If you want to do it right and provide the proper support, you need to replace the studs on the bottom cover and add supporting bushings - same as RSX.

RSX look at item # 11 & 12

MMsTSX

yup, correct.

that's what I did.

replaced the bottom studs and all.
tighten snug but not too tight after.

Will need to check out your engine bay someday. Take pics!!

Just got the mugen stuff from UPS, and boy is everything beautiful.
Im going to install the carbon fiber cover in a little bit, got to let my engine cool down.
So if i am not mistaken, I pretty much replace the bolts that hold the cover down, with the bolts that came with the cover.
Am I correct?

MMsTSX

not that easy.

you'll need to add some bolts/studs and then put the mugen cover on after that.

it comes with the hardware you need, look it over.

grenas17

Well i finished putting in the cover, oil cap, and reserve tank covers.
I couldnt figure out the gas tank cover, but i will another day.
Once again, thanks to everyone whom responded to my quesitons, they really helped out.
I plan on getting my engine painted but here it is for now.

fix the Mugen reservoir covers, they shoud like this and you will need if I remember correctly a Civic gas cap. The TSX gas cap is to big to fit inside the Mugen cap.

MMsTSX

correct.
the Mugen Reservoir covers came with instructions.

read them.

then install like the instructions say.

you have them on wrong.
