Does anyone make a quality, OEM-spec fitting, carbon fiber coil pack cover for the S13 SR20?

Figure I might as well get one to match my cooling plate, since it'll be the only carbon piece in the engine bay otherwise.

Hydrographics over an OEM one will make that easy.

Probably could do that, but I'd really like one that looks like the factory one, that still has the INTERCOOLER TURBO on it. :cool:

try 9k. I want to say they make (or made) them, but I highly doubt they've updated their website. Its worth a try to give them a call.

if you want it bang on OEM then hydrodip it.

I have a Titek one for my s13.4 cover and it fits nice, very nice.
just have to powdercoat my cover now lol

aw come on guys hyrdrodip...that's the lamest thing ever.

i make carbon stuff, learned it on my own. i'm gonna make my own coil cover however i have an s14 engine, anyhow im thinking of sanding down the intercooler turbo lettering cause the fibers are not gonna get in there, and if they would, they would mess up the weave for the rest of the item. either get a straight piece of carbon and cut it, and stick the letters as stickers on it, or find a real carbon one.

or make your own mold, and profit :P

The hardest part is finding a good film; there are so many different CF patterns and all the ones I've used look really cheesy. I did an s13 VC in CF and it basically looked like fish scales so I stripped it and just did it in wood grain instead.

It looks like yours was whittled from a block of wood by a Maori tribesman.
