Removing the Spark plug Cover on RB25DET

[Starionturbo]

I want to remove the spark plug cover off my engine but at the rear of the RB25 ive noticed theres a little square box - most likely got something to do with the coils - how can I remove the cover and leave this box alone. Or can the box still be mounted without having the rest of the cover on top?

Cheers,

Kim

Just undo the 4 screws to the box and move it to the side. Or undo the plugs if you can.

Thats the ignitor for the coils.. Like robo is saying, you can just unscrew it, and just leave it sitting to the side. As long as its still hooked up you can run the car.

You will have to take the intake pipe off to get the cover off generally. Some say running the cover off is better for spark as the coils can start to behave a bit funny if the temperature builds up in there.

hacksaw the cover so u only have the part which the ignitor sits on

then screw that back down

looks like u have no cover - but the ignitor is still secure

Soory to rob the thread but are all RB25DET's supposed to have this box for the ignitor? Mine has nothing there except a little loom plug. '98 GTS25T

Here's a pic of my setup. The bolt I used is the original bolt that fixes the igniter to the cover, it has exactly the same thread/pitch as the allen bolts. Don;t just 'move it to the side' to get bashed around your engine bay and possibly break the plugs and the dis unit itself.

Make sure you DONT get water in there though, as thats the main purpose of the cover
