Justjap Clear Rb26 Covers

[WYTSKY]

hey guys, my car is going back to sam next week for the last bits and pieces to be done on the engine, of which includes an exhaust cam gear. while doing it I was thinking he could maybe replace my stock cam gear cover with one of those clear cam gear covers off just jap, but I got a few ques...

1. will it fit an rb25? - if not can you get some? where?

2. is the quality decent?

3. are they legal? or can they melt and your engine goes boom, catches on fire, kills you while you drive into an orphange?

soz... but cops defected my old oil based pod once because they said it could "catch on fire"

any experiences with them would be great too!

Thanks,

Adam

My understanding is you need a RB26 backing plate for em. Standard is plastic but just black so no change there only rice factor baby so go for it

Oil based pods change emissions in some small way & thats why that cop incident happened, get a 3A dry type and you will be sweet. see DR DRIFT

Plus the oil coates things like AF meter and thats not good as well as forming deposits in intake pipes and coating turbine blades.

Cheers mate,

then again, to each his own...

The RB26 clear cam gear cover WILL NOT fit the RB25 because the RB25 has the variable timing buldge in the front of the inlet cam. However, there are clear covers available for the RB25, you'll find it if you look hard enough - hint, look at some overseas site, perhaps Ebay in the USA or Yahoo in Japan.

I dont think there would be any problems with installing the clear timing cover in terms of the law. Also, in regards to your pod cover, all you needed to keep it legal is to install some form of a shield or a 'box' with a duct feeding fresh air into it.

Hope that helps.

G'day Adam,

PSI Parts sell clear cam cover for RB25 - http://www.psiparts.com.au/front.asp?pid=28 - was thinking of doing it myself.

Not sure about the quality, you could ask them to test fit for you?

Cheers

The Clear RB26 covers that Just Jap sells are a Genuine Trust Product.

They also sell Clear Covers for RB25 made by PSI, however they are hardly comparable to the Trust RB26 type, and are only made from very thin plastic.

[PSI Parts]

Your right, they aren't comparable as one is made using plastic injection moulding, the other vacuum moulding. As for the thickness, well I don't want to get into the design specifics as that in itself took several months. Suffice to say we have sold about 150 of these both here and overseas.

[WYTSKY]

thanks for all the advice guys, still havent made my mind up whether to get one or not!
