Basics
- The car User: Eric is currently driving
- Supposedly very reliable + part availability is huge, could be worth reverse engineering the "why" behind both of those points
- Also quite heavily used in, and modified for, racing
- Thus lots of parts / aftermarket kits are available
- Also thus there should be good documentation on it's "anatomy", maybe even approaching *almost* OS levels? (Of course not tooling, but maybe part + assembly level?)
Misc Mods
Flex Fuel Conversion
- This will potentially involve:
- Fuel Tank (Likeliness?)
- Fuel Pump
- Fuel Lines
- Fuel Injector
- Sensors and/or Requirements for Additional Sensors
- Additional Fuel Tanks/Filters if a Multi-Fuel Vehicle is desired
Ignition System
- "Hondata Ignition Coil Pack Retrofit (CPR) Kit for Honda Accord" Replaces the traditional, Distributor based Spark Ignition system with a Distributorless Ignition System
- Eliminates the Wasted Spark and also allows for Cylinder Deactivation and if combined with other features such as Camless Valves can allow for Multiple Cycle Engines
Start-Stop System Addition
- Larger Battery
- And maybe a Battery Conditioner ?
- Alternator improvement
- Are most Brushed Motors
- Any way to change that to improve durability?
- Potential addition of a Block Heater / Oil Heater / Insulated Catch Can to keep oil temp at optimal temp preventing restart wear
- May be unnecessary due to modern Synthetic Lubricating Oil working fine?
