Are the RCM/Cosworth blanking plates the only 'off the shelf' option or are there others out there?

 

we also have them available although they are a pain to do "in-situ" because of the turbo up-pipe, etc.........

 

Same cosworth items or just blanking plates without the name and the cosworth price tag?

Engine is coming out in Jan for bottom end rebuild so gonna remove air pump at same time.

 

Tomioka Racing make a set as well mr

RCM might be easier to get here though, or I have aluminium sheet in the garage we can make you something?

 

Id read on naisoc about using actual subaru parts - 14754AA050 - but its only straight fit on one head, other side requires a bit of modding to the blanking plate for bigger bolt holes etc.

 

Save yourself £40-50 on blanking plates by having grub screws drilled in there.

 

Just cut two bits of alloy and use the original gaskets as its works a treat and is a very cheap option

 

If the engine is coming out, then tap the EGR ports on the back of the heads out to 1/8th NPT and use a couple of blanking plugs - will cost you less then a tenner if you have to buy the tap and 2 blanking plugs.
