Neo Engine Cover - Do I Need It?

[sunnycoast]

Hi,

I was just wondering if i really need to have the Neo Engine cover on my r34? I have heard it makes the coilpacks run hotter by not allowing air to disperse under the hood.

Just looking for opinions....Stories etc..

Any help would be most appreciated.

The NEO cover AFAIK is mainly for aesthetic purposes. A lot of 34 owners have removed this due to installing aftermarket FMICs where the piping runs parallel to the radiator and don't have problems...so yeah.

Does nothing more a cosmetic looks thing.. ive even removed my coilpack covers and neo cover car runs no different .. easier to access things

[Keegs]

yep as everyone else has said, its purely asthetic...I did and many others have, remove the centre coil pack cover to allow more air through as well, without issue.

on the talk about covers, does that steel sheet over the turbo housing need to be there on the RB20's? its a pain in the ass to work around and if i can piss it off i will gladly.

Nah you dont need it, its just a looksy thing, but i would strongley suggest you leave it if you can, its a great dust cover and im serious. And its easy to take of and clean. Just keep it.

Its good to use as a taboggon on a grassy hill... (check spelling, arhhhh)

i would keep it on if possible. the more heat in the exhaust the more respnse u get and also less heat that will radiate into the electrcs aorund the engine bay..
