hyundai valve cover on a dsm?

[eagelfan92]

saw a guy lat night with a 95 hyundai valve cover on his 1g

what is the point in this?

 

[99eclipse420]

Some hyundais back in the day, came with a 4g63 in them. Some people have swapped a 4g63 out of a hyundai when they blow their motor or some people put the valve cover on just for laughs.

 

[eagelfan92]

this dude claimed its better for power. and something about the bolts.

 

[Captn]

Its a valve cover, it had no gains in power.

 

[eagelfan92]

yea thats what i said.

this was said by someone that tried to tell me our cars were never made in japan and i cant possibly have a motor from japan when i rebuilt it...

 

[19BLACKGST98]

Some people think they are more durable. I dont honestly know though.

 

[Captn]

The JDM motor is pretty much the exact same thing as the motors made in the US, besides the intake manifold. I have heard of some coming with 510cc injectors also those would be the only differences to my knowledge.

If you want different hardware for your valve cover check it out.

Our cars are made in Illinois. 4G63 engines from japan, yes.

This bit is true. Only made in the US, and some parts of Europe has them too. None built in Japan though.


Edit: dammit, just HAD to answer the door and post too late

As soon as he said that you should've told him that you had a brand new set of canooder valves that would double the HP his valve cover makes.

Those bolts will not work on the Hyundai VC. The heads will go clear through the holes as they are much larger than the Mits/Diamond Star type.

That cover requires something like this: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/bolt-tech/387318-hyundai-valve-cover-info.html

Thanks for the info on the hardware, I did not know that and I have a Hyundai valve cover in my garage collecting dust I guess I should have taken a look at it. Glad I got corrected by a WI member

when i bought my car it had a cracked block and tranny problems. so i bought a brand new motor and tranny from the factory and im pretty sure it came from the factory in japan cause everything was in japanese, but i may be wrong. it was a complete motor and tranny to put in and go. now the motor and tranny have maybe 35k on them.

No problem. Funny, my Hyundai cam cover is under my work table collecting dust. It's waiting for a pair of #8 fittings and powdercoating. Or hydrodip. And bolts...

I'm throwing a stock-style Hyundai VC on my DSM (once the guy I'm buying it from can track it down) just so I can BS my not-too-smart buddy and convince him I swapped a Hyundai motor in.

It's a good conversation piece.

just like how the AMG spark plug cover adds 150hp

When I say made in the US, I mean the exterior shell, and interior parts. 1G-2G Eclipse's did not exist in Japan. Just like the EVO I - VI did not exist here (some few VII's were available here)

That's hilarious.....I really want to do that

 

[johnmel]

I heard something about there motor being a 1.8 but I don't know if this is true so yeah some ppl I know swap them in so they don't get crankwalk but other then that its just for laughs

 

[Doubleot]

They have been used for years, You need to get longer bolts to make it fit right since it's a little thicker.

There are 2 different types of the Hyundai VC. One is the stock style that says "HYUNDAI" on the top and "DOHC 16valve" on the bottom it is silver in color (like the stock 1g). The other type is black in color, shaved on the top and just says "DOHC 16valve" on the bottom. This VC needs longer bolts to be used on a DSM. Also some of the hyundai cars use a stud/nut combo instead of the traditional bolts.. The shaved top VC is almost prone to cracking which makes it not a totally useless mod..

Not sure I understand this quote. Are you saying that shaving a stock DSM V.C. is prone to cracking therefore the shaved Hyundai unit is preferable?

 

[ed1380]

No he's saying this vc is prone to cracking
