INTAKE MANIFOLD COVER!

If so please post some pics!

 

what the plastic piece?

 

Yup that's the one!

I've never seen it off and didn't know if it look better off or on.

 

I like it off.

 

Please post a pic.

 

4 10mm screws and you can see for yourself
Personally, it looks ugly with it off

Damn from some angles it looks great and mean and from others it look like a cluttered mess like its out of some bad 80's anime!

I like this angle!



Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

 

Any one ever dress it up after taking it off?

 

I have a polishing project on the side covers- they shine up nice- like the CAI in the pic

Hey kris- what happened to the tower bar?? no fit with the motor change?

 

please do a search prior to posting.... if you go down a few more threads from where this one is, you will find this.... LINKY ... this is just one of many threads... enjoy...

Many pictures within that 4 page thread...

 

that thread is very good--but the OP wants to leave the cover off and do something to make it look better in the naked-errrr buff condition

Its a simple matter to use any brand of metal polish and a buffer on the drill or even by hand. Shine the outer covers up for a unique look, and slightly improve manifold cooling (less rise in inlet ait temp) by allowing more upward dissapation of heat

Then do the exhaust tips to match! they shine up really nice

 

Oh my bad.... why not just get after-market head covers?
I personally like the dressed up plastic cover... engine doesn't look right without the cover... but that is just my opinion... If someone will polish it, then I guess it would look pretty cool. but way too much work....

 

Hello..





Enjoy fellow aziners.

 

I hadnt installed it yet in those pics. I had just dropped the motor and trans in together from the top

 

I like show quality dressed engines, its a racing thing- clean painted= well built well kept

Got to finish my project and post pics, instead of just talking about doing it

 

Inspire, that is hot, man... but I have no time and no equipment to pull the engine...

 

 

Only real equipment needed is a engine hoist. Those can be rented or bought pretty cheap.

 

DAMN, how much does something like that cost?

 

sniff sniff do i smell a J35S??? looks good

 

Inspire, is that yours? That looks incredible man.

 

Yes...

Ready to find them maximas lol

 

Well all that is about $6k for 3.5 build with CL-S cams, RL pistons, Porting and polishing heads, 3-way valve job, powdercoat. Also depends on if the powder is a two-stage.

No, it's a close friend of mine.

But it is the same engine. My engine will be quite similar, different colors and build.

 

ahhh.....are you going with the Pilot/Odyssey engine? That's what I've been studying up on.

 

What you see infront of you is the Pilot/Odyssey engine.

If you really want to do a build-up & 6-speed swap, Save the $ and we can start doing work.

Let me know when you're ready. Any info you need, just ask and I'll help you out.

P.S. you may have to make occasional drives upstate to the NOVA area.

 

WOW, it looks so cool man. My 2007 Odyssey's engine isnot even close to that!

 

Wow! I went to work and came back home to this! Wow!

InspireTL:

So that is not the stock engine from a 2002 TL, its from an Ode's? it looks unbelievable!
I'm going to remove the cover off of mine and get to polishing!

 

That looks really nice, not to mention it's a frankenstein motor that will make very nice power.

 

I <3 NOVA. I'd come up any time just to check this stuff out. I will definitely be looking toward this swap...J35mmmmmmmmm

 

Looks awesome good luck.

 

Just give me a weekend you are free. We can setup a time for you to come check out the progress.

Sorry for the hi-jack OP. If you need to contact me rye PM me bro.

 

looks super ugly with it off

 

InspireTL - that thing is beautiful!

 

Thanks! When are you getting yours? Lol.
