Iv noticed most sr20 engines have no sparkplug cover installed.. I assume it's to do with heat around the coilpacks ?
and would a tomei plug cover be a good thing to buy? :juggle:
i really dislike the look of the engine without a plug cover, it looks a bit cheap and untidy.:eek:hwell:

I know what you mean about the look. I bought a vented chrome one off eBay a while back. It looks pretty good.
I'll see if I can find a link.

I removed mine as you've correctly stated the heat seemed to be killing off my coil packs, i went through a fair number before deciding not to fit it again, I've been on the same set ever since some 8 years

...just realised of course my engine is from my old 14a and not a Spec R one but i assume the same applies?

the issue has and always been the coils are bloody expensive.

I'm going down the audi R8 route which requires a loom mod to get them to work but the Audi coil packs are more abundant and cheaper

If you go for one I would get a vented one. Sorry i cannot see the one i ordered a few years ago, but I havent had an issue since it was fitted.

When my coils died years ago I bought Split Fires and a Tomei coil cover (nice bit of bling) Ive had no issues with the coils since

That's the same one I've got. Never had an issue yet and had it on for at least 5yrs.
