Carbon Fiber Valve Covers???

[Go Fast For Life]

Does anyone make a good quality carbon fiber valve cover for Gen 2 cars? Can I modify a carbon fiber Gen 3 cover?

 

[futureacrowner]

Is there a carbon Gen III cover?

I know where we could get some made...We would have to purchase atleast 25 of them...Couldnt see it being much money...Im willing to use my valve covers to do it if anyones intrested?? Check out Carbon by Design on yahoo...

Here are some GTSR carbon fiber ones that can be used with a little modification.

From what these guys told me they can take a mold off of any stock parts and create a carbon fiber part...A mold for a Gen 3 trunk was 600 bucks...I bet a valve cover would be like 100 and probably 40 bucks for the valve covers...ill check up on it and post later

If it's $100-200 then I'm in.

 

[tooreal11]

I'll find all the pricing out tomorrow...would really look cool with my TWIN TURBO upgrade..hehehehe

 

[C-Note]

Group buy! Let's go for it. Give him some other cool stuff to mock up in carbon fiber too.

At those prices, I would be interested also.

Hey guys I need close up pictures of the motor...THE VALVE covers! My car is in Ohio so I cant take pictures...

 

[tooreal11]

ok im waiting for their reply and I will post prices...Anybody else want anything in carbon fiber??? What about side splitters?? I suppose we would have to buy a set to copy the pattern or if someone has a set their willing to use as a mock up??

 

[GTSnake]

Just a silly question.

The valve covers will have the baffles on the bottom too right? Are they going to be carbon fiber or just a piece of metal?

[tooreal11]

Well its taking some time but the valve covers were sent two days ago...I had to wait till my car got to ohio and they started disassembling the car for the Twin Turbo build...I shoulud know here fairly soon...I'll let you guys know when they recieve the valve covers...

 

[ROGUE]

I sent a few of you guys PM's. Let me know if you're still interested in some carbon valve covers.

Planning on doing a gen II set first. Can do Gen III as well soon as I can get a set of covers to mold off of.

 

[ViperBing]

I am interested, depending on price.

 

[malcoll]

Will Gen 2 ... fit on a Gen 1?

Why would anyone want to do this---the stockers are magnesium and very lightweight.

Not that light. You can drop a good 6-7lbs, but more than that it provides better oil control (no baffles needed) easier to setup for a large crankcase vent system, and will seal well enough for a drysump/vac pump should one desire to go that way.

Covers should be just a c-hair over 1# each.

Oh plus they look really damn cool </poser mode>

And besides the CF won't rust.

 

[shelbynut]

Keep us posted...my stockers need to be painted again, upgrade to cf sounds better!

 

[Go Fast For Life]

Bump.

I am still looking for cabon fiber covers. Anyone else interested?

 

[rpm9000]

Count me in too.
