Noz Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 (edited) Updated; "Originally for NA, now reviewing GTE versions as well". I'm looking at making some billet 2JZ cam covers. I was curious, if any NA owners would want a GE version allowing for the OEM intake. Here is a photo of a similar style I was going for, this is a 7m cam cover setup; Edited October 15, 2016 by Noz (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraP-Z Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 This is quite a good idea. Id be up for a set depending on how it looks and of course price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 (edited) The left hand cover on mine has been modified to clear the charge cooler, I have had 2 goes at it but the weld has cracked both times. At the mo it is parged over with liquid metal but it has a small yet unstoppable weep. When you get going, you can knock me up one that will fit.

Mike2JZ Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Interesting prospect, how much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 Not sure. It'll depend how fancy you want it. To begin with looking to just replicate them and also do a nice GTE version. But modelling off the GE might as well offer an option . Will keep you posted when I've some designs. Won't be super expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I could send send you my Mk 1 modified cover to use as a pattern for mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 If you just wanted the 1 side it'd be cheaper as you'd be hiding them under the huge manifold surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 As you can see, there's very little of it that can be seen, a left hand one that fits without leaking is my priority. Don't call me Shirley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 (edited) Started mocking up some designs today. Just turning the OEM 2JZGE into 3D. Then, model a billet version. Afterwards, review a fancy design that'll suit GTE versions and GE with FFIM. Some nice designs to come for sure, lot's of surprises to come with this design. Designs in progress;- 1. GTE/GE Covers with use of everything OEM - intake, vacuum etc 2. GTE/GE with custom vacuum ports for catch can / AN fitting hosing (including baffles) 3. GE with use of FFIM (Same as above really guys) 4. David P modified cover to clear charge cooler 5. Customer requested designs 6. Styles on the above units, which will be explained further nearer the time If anyone has done this before, be great to have some feedback on what works and what doesn't. I'm going this route as old TT covers are expensive (due to demand), and still need welding for AN fittings anyway.
