For anyone running an engine cover, how in the literal f*** do you get it in there? I've been messing with it for like an hour and I can't even get it close. I have the passenger seat out, intercooler and intake piping off. It looks like it is too big to maneuver in there but I know it fits somehow
For NA and SS/SC cars we split the engine cover right down the middle to make a left and right half. If you received an engine cover that was already split into two halves it won't work with your turbo setup. We'll send you a new one.
On the SS/TC cars the intercooler on top of the engine interferes with the engine cover. So instead of being cut right down the center, the engine cover is cut into two pieces that fit around the intercooler.
The path of the turbo tubes and the location of the intercooler weren't set in stone until very recently so we have not been cutting the SS/TC engine covers before shipping them.
When we cut the engine cover in the photos we had to remove and reinstall the cover many times making small cuts until the cover just barely cleared the plumbing and intercooler. Then we used a sharpie to draw smoother cut lines leaving 3/4 to 1 inch of clearance from each tube/intercooler/silicone elbow.
Also, as my dad said you can cut off the rear of the engine cover to make it easier to install on your turbo car. That rear vertical face makes it hard to maneuver the driver side portion of the engine cover into place.
We actually have to go through this process very soon and plan to use that as an opportunity to scratch lines into the engine cover mold to use as guides later on.
