Totally custom parts?... what would you have made?
Hey guys,
Well today we started on our semster projects for Advanced AutoCAD and the project calls for a 3-d part which has a basis and could be sold (if machined/made). I made an adjustable cam-gear last year and would like to spice it up this year with something new. The focus is more on actual customer feedback rather than actual technical wizardry... SO what can I make for you?
Some ideas already talked about:
Rear diff covers (heat sinked and additional capacity)
Tranny belly pans (heat sink and may be add. cap.)
Full assembled oil relocator kits (with brackets to a stock bolt to secure)
ITB's (ooo that'd be a challenge)
Oversized/undersized throttle wheel
...stuff like that has been suggested, but I would like everyone to chime in on this one. Thanks guys!

Thanks to the Subaru rallye car for a good pracitcal way of doing this (although its turbo'd the basic idea is the same). A) Im jealous of your ITBs and hope you love them (what brand are they?) B) I will be working on ideas for the next couple weeks, so I got you covered bud

Make up an aluminum bracket to mount the alternator on the front of a "B" motor where the AC compressor normally goes.
This would solve the problem with having to bash in the frame rail when putting a B in an EF.

Still working on them...Im going to take a mold off a intake manifold then cast it with Fiberglass. Get some aluminum tubing and use silicone tubing to attach everything to suzuki tb. This is just so that I can tune the runner length. Once I get that set and play with the injector location/angle I will take a mold off the prototype and cast the whole thing. Its gonna be a long term project. I need to purchasing a mock up intake ...I have it suzuki tbs though
Right now Im mostly playing around with the silicone mold agent to figure out how far I can push undercuts and such.
Fun thing is that if the design works well it shouldn't be to hard to produce several (or perhaps find someone to copy the design in cf?)
Hood scope would really kick in the ITB advantage though

I had the same idea, but with nitrous bungs pre-threaded.
SO far they are ALL great ideas. Truly, much thanks to everyone
