Supercharger is in
 

Well the good news is that everything is going nicely at CAR. The engine, tranny and supercharger are in, and it should be fired up this coming week. Excuse the mess in the engine. I do have some bad news. I cannot use my rare zz430 valve covers due to the venting on the driver side is right under the blow off valve on the supercharger. Ill put it too you guys. What valve covers would look good on the car? And yes, I don't want to alter these covers.

you have a vent on both sides, or is that an oil fill cap on the other side? If it's not a breather switch the breather and oil cap, or swap covers side to side if necessary. If not you'll need other covers.

Hey Jody. Yeah we went though the breather/oil cap issue, and we figured out that we needed new valve covers. They could have machined these to work, but I didn't want to ruin the covers. So now I'm looking for new ones. I saw some carbon ones, what do you think?

Mike, those look just like the bowtie covers that I have. You could get a set of the tall versions, which are just what you have. The tall ones don't come with the holes for venting, so you can put the breathers/oil fill wherever you want on them. That, and you can paint/powdercoat them black or the same color as your car to make them look nice.

I was thinking of something like that. I also like the look of the carbon ones, but would not know if they would not leak. I would like to find someone who makes the custom ones.

well I like the cf ones, I have a set myself!

Where can you get those? Also can they do the vent and oil holes for you when you order them? Will they fit the zz4 motor?

Looking good man!

Alex

they can do the vents or oil fills in any config you want. He's a site sponsor.

I should have seen that. Ill check them out on Monday. They don't leak do they? Have you had any issues with them at all?
