My solution to the void left after relocation of the IMRC

[solo92s10]

Plan on relocating my imrc in a little bit while my engine is out for an overhaul and dress up. Heres what I came up with for the void left behind after the IMRC is gone.

This is the shaved valve covers sandblasted and ready for powdercoat.(need bigger oven before I can coat them, soon)





Mockup of the spark plug cover. It will be bolted to the 2 center valve cover bolts with a little modification. Also Im hoping to sneak the wires under the intake manifold and under the spark plug cover. I know the wires fit under the cover at that location Im just not sure if theres room under the intake mani without getting against something hot.



And the cover half polished to see if Its going to be fully polished or powdercoated. Still not sure. Its sitting on another shaved valve cover thats for sale. Also going to be running the full 3l waterpump cover with this setup.





Any suggestions welcome also insight on running plug wires under/around the upper intake. Thanks

Isn't the 95 front cover bare already? Since they had vacuum secondaries? Not knocking your work as it looks sick, just wondering for simplicity sake.

They still had different mounting points for an cover similar to the imrc cover. I looked through the engine bay pic thread earlier today and seen a 3l valve cover that looks good and does essentially what i did and still cleared the svt upper intake, think it might have been gomach1 car. I have spare svt covers so went with this. Also though it would be good to be different.

Where are the plugs wires going to run in and under the cover?

Looks like on the right side near where the h20 pump mounts.

Here's where I'm hoping to bring the wires in. If I can route them in a way keeping them off hot metals.

And should look something like this when done. Plus 2 Allen head bolts in the cover.

Will also be shaving/smoothing a max extrude honed upper intake manifold before it's powdercoated.

Pics don't look much different but show that it is all bolted together and spark plug wires run underneath the cover without an issue.
