My 1MZ MK1

Err, I don't suppose anyone knows how to remove the plastic cover on top of the engine? I got it unclipped at the front by just pulling it up but it seems to be secured somehow on the back left corner but there's no screw or bolt to speak of.

It's normally bolted to the front cam cover, maybe email Rogue and ask in case it's been attached some other way

[IanClements]

Thanks Paul, if I can't get it off tomorrow I'll ask them.

Three holes at the very back where you can't see them that have allen key bolts so a 5mm allen key does the trick. I was going to check on the spark plugs to see what's in - that didn't happen lol!

[Paul Woods]

I normally put some sort of access panel on the boot firewall so the spark plugs on the rear bank are easy to get at on my MK1 V6 swaps.

Yes the access panel is a great idea then you can get to the rear spark plugs very easily, plus it doesn't loose too much of your boot space.

On the 2gr it's a must have as the plenum is right in the way.

For those interested I had it dyno'd at Thor Racing today, it made 179bhp and 189lbft at the wheels. They tried taking the Magnex exhaust off and got another 10bhp and then took the air filter out for another 10, shame I had to put them back on to drive home really.

Joyy good.

Only the graph, not much else to see really.

I did say that exhaust was far too restrictive for the V6 Ian, get a proper system on there mate.
