What would be my best bang for buck mod to make to the IQ to boost the engine power?

 

[car_crazy]

a supercharger or a ecu tune by a reputable tuner. both of those will yield the most gains per dollar. also another option would be a ram air intake. you can make one easily for under $100 and a ram air system would not only boost hp but also increase top end power.

The ECU tuner should be done by someone who knows what they're doing. I saw one of my friend's car get this treatment and it messed up his car performance because it wasn't properly tuned.

Yah I was thinking supercharging all the way. An IQ with supercharger. Look out.

Definitely someone that knows what they're doing. I think that's why car_crazy said "reputable tuner". Also make sure they tune car for each gear. Not just use the same tune throughout all the gears. My friends car changes tune depending on what gear he is in. So that it optimizes his AFR especially when boost kicks in.

Gazoo racing did a supercharged iQ and brought it to the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Unfortunately they didn't run the car though. I would definitely want to see an iQ on steriods.

Cheapest would be a short ram intake or a cold air intake. Supercharging and tuning is FAR from cheap. I didn't know about the Gazoo car until now. What a beast!

 

[jonestown]

That is one fine looking IQ.

Tuning is fairly cheap. Most known tuners here in Toronto charge around $500 for an ecu tune + the dyno time unless they have their own dyno. Supercharging gets you the most hp/$ and can be done relatively affordable if you do most of the work yourself.

Supercharging makes the most sence to me. That and a racing stripe so you appear to go faster

That all depends on what you call cheap. A CAI is cheap IMO. A supercharger or anything else over $1000 is not chump change.

Yeah. I don't think most of those options are cheap. But if you really want "cheap" power than those are good options. They will net you more hp for the amount of money you spend on them.

You want extra cheese on your pizza you pay for it. You want more speed it will cost you. I realze cheese and speed are two different things but you want it wont always come with.

I will be on the hunt for an intake and exhaust for sure for mine. With a car that small, at least if it's loud people will notice you!

 

[iQ-guy]

I'd prefer to be going fast enough that people can't really see the car for more than a few seconds. I'll leave the loud obnoxious exhaust to the kids in Honda Civics.

The term sleeper goes beyond just the debranding of a vehicle.

A Hayabusa motor is all you need to make the iQ a sleeper.

but sadly... need to go uphills first in order to get to the downhills...

DC Sports has a CAI and exhaust coming soon. I just went there yesterday to have them test fitted.
