Carbon Timing Belt Cover
This is a performance & custom part that replaces the stock engine cover. By using twill weave carbon, the interior of the engine compartment can be upgraded to a luxurious space. The sound insulation material installed on the tail of the stock cover can be transferred to ensure the same sound insulation performance as the stock.
Caution
The HKS engine cover is designed to reduced turbulence in the engine compartment compared to the stock one.
As a result of the test,(Figure 1) it was confirmed that the HKS engine cover allows more fresh air to pass between the head and the tail of the hood than the stock engine cover at the same speed.
- We recommend to transfer a sound insulator from stock to HKS engine cover. Simultaneously, replace the rubber grommet.
- The Fuse box cover needs a stock one. (Not Replacement Type)
HKS
In October 1973, two talented and spirited young engineers had a vision; to design and build high performance engines and components that major OE manufacturers could not or would not produce.Led by Hiroyuki Hasegawa, a former engineer for Yamaha Motor Company, and his partner Goichi Kitagawa, the two secured a capital infusion from Sigma Automotive Co., Ltd. (hence the name “HKS ”), and began tuning gasoline powered engines in a dairy-farming shed at the foot of Mount Fuji in Japan. A year later, Mr. Hasegawa designed and built the first aftermarket turbocharger for passenger cars and has never looked back.
HKS pioneered the Japanese aftermarket performance industry by delivering a host of exciting new products, including the first commercially available electronic turbo timer and boost controller. Other early products included piggy-back fuel computers and sophisticated fuel management tools. Clearly HKS was Driving Performance trends for Japanese vehicles.
