anyone know of any sites that cater specifically to the lq1? other than milzy and wot-tech?

 

Unfortunately since it's a DOHC there isn't THAT much you can do to it easily. And with it's limited production run, no real people wanted to spend the time to R&D on that engine.

 

ugh lol, my poor little LQ1 will never be able to compete with the 3800 lol

 

its better stock than the 3800

 

idk how its possible for the lq1 to have more hp but still get walked on by a stock mc ss or gp gt -_-

 

idk how tho lol, i got outrun by a 4 door grand prix gt with just an intake and an exhaust leak the other day. >_<

 

It's better in the upper RPM range, if yours isn't something is wrong.

 

i think my cat may be on its way out. every so often it is realllly hard to start. and it will start to crank but as soon as it starts to fire up it coughs really loud and i smell a sulfer-ish smell. and sometimes it feels like its only running on 3 cylinders. and the other day it backfired while i was driving, as soon as i let off the gas it backfired.

 

Yeah stock for stock LQ1>L36. I have walked 3800 GPs and montes a few times. I fall behind until about 50 then just destroy from then on. I think if you got your car running better you will be surprised how much quicker it is. Thats your first place to start before worrying about aftermarket.

That being said, there isnt much aftermarket available for the LQ1. I have an intake, exhaust and tune and there isnt much more you can do.

 

yeah i think my car could benefit from new plugs and wires. but idk why it would be backfiring and acting crazy. im gonna try to get my uncle to hook it up to his scanner and see what codes its throwing.
