Gauging interest. Started drawing it up in mastercam on Saturday. They will be billet aluminum and I will offer custom engraving. Never seen an A1 cover ever… Need to figure out a price that’s fair to both parties.
finally!!! that guy was supposed to make em in carbon but never did. thank god someone is gonna make one! interested for sure, have a price point in mind?
do it up and I’ll buy 1.
I’d say 30-40 bucks would be about the right pricerange on a guess based on the prices for the VTEC ones I have seen that are simply listed as billet… OFC if you look at Skunk2 or BWR ones they jump to 70-125 bucks… then the CF ones seem to be 99.99
sounds like you could make a killing with these seeing as there is nothing for us LS block lovers… I mean you would have a product that isn’t readily available.
I’ll believe it when I see a prototype.
Haha fair enough. Talk is cheap right?? I know I saw cheesy “billet” vtec ones on eBay for 80 and skunk2 for 120. I don’t think I’ll ask that much. But they are totally exclusive. Still will have to account for shipping and packing supplies also. Still deciding on if I want to do a limited run or not. No eta yet but the process is started. If you have looked at your VC recently you will see how high the plug wires sit compared to the other types of VCs. So I gotta try to make it all work without looking too bulky.
Kudos for trying man. Good luck, Can’t wait to see what you come up with.
I’d be in on this too
Same with me
What would a cover attach to on this block? I do not see a big issue making a metal or carbon fiber piece if enough people want one, but there does not seem to be a good place to mount it.
I want one for sure, everyone in my area is busting my balls to do a swap but I like my LS
I have one…but…i’ll wait to see one made
good guy, good products
I’ll vouch for this dlo. He does some good work and has fast turnaround.
:eek: hey, Dlo! I’ll buy one when you get around to it. I’ll email you some ideas.
Mounting is not the issue. The issue is making it clear the plug wires without looking too bulky.
Oh ya integra_hot? Right on, let’s see it.
Thanks 1320! I also got hella vouches on CI.
that’s the one i got from klutch on CI on his part out thread, i just havent installed it yet because…well…lazy LMAO.
but yea dlo is good w/ his stuff, havent seen bad feedback folks.

I’ve seen all kinds of cool looking things made for other cars, the issue is often fitting them to what is already there… it would be great to see one made for this engine…
Weren’t klutch’s for b1/b20?
Thanks bro, appreciate it.
Oh no I know that, you didn’t come off wrong… I have an idea for mounting that should work just fine. But won’t know til I make the first one and actually try it out.
