I wonder what other parts people would like to see carbon fiber?? Let me know people! Hit me up with some PM's

i would like to see a intake manifold also like the honda guys have then the value cover and manifold would match which is a perfect for lighter parts and show quality too

 

[RoryBarron]

The intercooler pipes are a sick idea! that would be awesome to have!

 

[Itsok]

Make a carbon fiber car.

I'm serious.

Instead of mitsubishi stamped in it, which is a good idea I would like that, but a stamped "dsm" with mitsu, eagle, and chrysler emblem would look real good. Or how about DSM on top and 4G63 on bottom.

Sorry for my "opinion" or "suggestion"

i would reallly like to have a carbon fiber valve cover that would be sick with boosted on to or somethin or boosted dsm or 4cefed dsm or something would be sick

Wouldn't a carbon fiber valve cover melt under high temps ?

 

[blowinsmoke95]

i dont think it would melt as just a valve cover or a cover for the valve cover i know it isnt touchin the engine but a hood is close to it and it doesnt hurt it and all the heat from the engine bay and what not

 

[Rask69]

soo do we have progress?? i would buy one, so would other brazilians. Here we have a buddy that has a 90% carbon fiber body kit, only the front bumper isnt....but i cant talk about the project, its secret eehehehehh. the owner doesnt want to be copied so he doesnt post infos about it.

 

[byebyev8]

I wouldn't trust this guy. I traded him parts for a carbon fiber gas door and never recieved it.

If its made correctly it shouldnt since a lot of top end cars/race cars have them.

Carbon Fiber is cool and all.... but IMHO this is a fail situation. Were talking about a high temp, oiled up torqued down piece.

I think it would be sick dude kinda rice but i would buy one

Do you know how strong carbon fiber is??? You dont torque a freakin valve cover down 40ft lbs it would work.......double face palm on yourself dude!!! Just messin no disrespect intended!!

 

[djtrickstick]

this would be sick mod, i would wait till its been tested on big turbo motors tho to make sure it wont crack or anything

WTH would that matter?? If you get much if any pressure in your valvetrain/valve cover area, you better be getting a new motor.

Carbon fiber is used for driveshafts, quality carbon fiber would not break from torqueing down the valve cover. Besides, I barely put 10 ft lbs on my valve cover bolts.

The thing I would worry about is chemical/oil resistance properties of carbon. I don't know if it would degrade or not. I know it's stronger than any metal, but I'm not sure if it resists oil like chemicals do.
