i'm looking for a type r valve cover as a dressup to go along with my gsr tubro. the stock gsr valve cover is all flaky and braking apart. i tried sand blasting it but some wont come off. i though about painting it but it might flake up like the stock black. where can i find a red valve cover that will last and fit my budget of $150? i notice the gsr motors don't have the big "H" at the bottom but b16 do, does the itr have the big "H"?

 

JDM valve covers all have the big "H"s on them. and so does the USDM B16's (Civic) because they are still Hondas here. Unlike the (Acura) Integras here, which are the Honda Integras there. that's the reason why our B18's have Honda Motor Co. instead of the big "H", which i never got myself. USDM valve covers also have the "DOHC" bigger than the VTEC, unlike the JDM ones which have the VTEC bigger. you can get a JDM valve cover with your "H" through JHPUSA.com for $140 brand new... but since i'm a nice guy, here's the link that'll take u straight there....http://www.jhpusa.com/catalog/...e1a90

here's a pic of a US ITR valve cover.... same as the GSR, but red.

compared to a JDM ITR valve cover...

how come u didn't like it... you should trade with this kid...

 

u can get them cheap off of ebay. i would just do that. id prolly get a jdm one.
just paint it urself tho with high temp paint. i mean its just for yourself, u arent trying to fool anybody with a gsr engine code.
