180 hp in 2010 crv

[ba5online]

From the answers you get as to why it was left off, may I install a 2009 engine cover on my 2010? Honda Builder: will this effect my warranty?

The parts I had in mind are:
17121-RAA-A00 (1) COVER ASSY., ENGINE
17123-RAA-A00 (1) STAY ASSY. A, ENGINE COVER
17213-P8A-A00 (1) RUBBER, IN. MANIFOLD COVER MOUNTING
90207-RAA-A00 (2) NUT, HEX. CAP (6MM)
95701-06014-08 (1) BOLT, FLANGE (6X14)
90015-RAA-A00 (2) BOLT A, ENGINE COVER

Parts Manager: Are these the right parts and are the manifolds the same?

No, it won't drive any better and
No, it won't handle any better and
No, it won't cost me any sleep, because I don't get any sleep anyways and
Yes - $27,200 should buy a complete car with a nice looking engine cover and
No, BMW has never left off an engine cover, now would they?!

So why don't I go buy a BMW? Just might - had 2 of them and a Porsche 911but I've never seen a BMW or Porsche being towed behind a motorhome! LOL
Who knows, may trade this 2010 CR-V EX-L with Navi in white, in on a new, complete BMW and tow it in an enclosed trailer.

Sorry for the rampage, this just bugs me. If it dosen't bug you, 2010 owner, then you need to look at a 2009 engine and then look at your 2010. If you don't notice anything different, then, please excuse this post!

Since the manifold on the 2010 is a totally different design i am thinking the cover from the 2009 CRV will not fit. When i get time today i will slip out to the lot and look at both designs and see if i can get some good pics. The key to why the cover was left off is because the new intake manifold is plastic?

I was told it was altimately left off because of money. It would save like 3-5 bucks on a vehicle, but when you mulitply that buy several hundred thousand cars a year over the course of 6 years. It adds up too alot.

And I believe lizzurd is right, the 09 engine cover will not fit the 2010.

I noticed that attached to the black (maybe plastic) intake manifold is a
mounting flange or shelf that runs along the top of the manifold. It's 10.75" X 1" with a vertical spine about 1/4 inch running almost the full length in the center.

This looks like a mounting flange or seat for the engine cover to sit on top of, to align and seat the engine cover.
If this is the same flange that's on a 2009, then perhaps a 2009 cover will fit.

looks like just reinforcement to me. you could possibly fabricate something if you really want an engine cover this much

I had the front tires smoking when I took off during my test drive the sales person got scared! I like turning off the VSA, its an attention getter.

basically what everyone is trying to say is.


it wont work.

This morning i popped the hood on my 2010 Accord EX. I know my 2009 had the cover.....MY 2010 doesn't.

I guess it was a cost cutting measure.

I decided to compare the intakes from the 2009 Accord and the 2010 CRV. They are the same part number.

As long as the threads are there for the studs i am going to say the cover will fit. When Honda changed the CRV intake it never occured to me that they used the same one as the Accord.

If you get the cover use he cover and hardware from a 2009 Accord. Don't use the cover from the CRV. (I was partially correct.....the CRV will likely not fit properly).
