What would everybody like to have for there cars that they can't get?

[jrm]

I am trynig to see what everyone wants made for there cars but can't find? Give me some ideas.

[fintile]

More engine parts for the 1.6: silicone intake manifold gaskets, better designed intake manifolds, US spec remaped ecus for N/A and forced induction, CAMS.

[187sks]

All for the DOHC 1.6l LC/LC2 Accent:

Plug and play standalone <--Top of my list
Cams
Better IM
CNC head porting package
Real performance struts
Traction bars

[jrm]

ok as far as the stand alone goes that will take alot of research but it is possible i will have to make some phone calls. I am not sure what better IM is so fill me in on that one. Cams are a possibility. CNC Head package is a maybe but not too sure. My buddies dad owns a CNC shop so I may be able to pull a string or two there. Traction bars I will have to see the front end setup of the LC to determine if it is possible but I am sure it is.

Fintile I am not sire about silicone intake manifold gaskets are you sure you didn't mean phenolic?

[jrm]

How big of cams are you wanting to use?

[Dragonis]

carbon fiber hoods and fenders

[jrm]

Intake manifolds are a very big possibility. Do you want them for N/A or Turbo or Both? Most likely they will be sheet metal style intake manifolds or Tubular kinda. Big tube plenum with tube runners.

[ericy321]

Turbo intake manifold for the Beta. That would be great.

It'll take a little work so that the computer would out of the box like our sensors and be able to plug straight into our ECU connector and run with a default program. It's available for a lot of other cars though so it would just be convincing someone to wire up the adapter and ship the standalone with an acceptable base program.

A more performance oriented IM, probably long tubular runners with a sheet metal box with provisions for all stock sensors and able to run a larger throttle body. Something like the Airram Beta IM would be good too. N/A of FI is not an issue to me a good design should be usable enough for both.

The bonus of a nice CNC port package being available would be that you could know exactly what you're getting. Sure there are places that would do your head for you already but who knows what your results might be? It's going to vary from place to place. You can put more thought into a CNC program and show dyno numbers that should be accurate for pretty much everyone and the shop can spread the R&D cost out over several customers.

Moderate (street/strip type) N/A performance for me personally. I want a car that can still idle but beyond that I would want all the power I could get. A set of turbo cams would be a nice option too.

Lots of people have complained about wheel hop issues with the LC and LC2. Myself included. A nice set of stiff tubular A arms might really help also.
