not really. it used to be alot more accurate but they then dumbed it down.

NA makes about 90hp and gets much better mileage but I thought this was a neat little engine.

>>13827428
I just want superchargers. The turbo lag is stupid to work around, not to mention I hate that whistle. Nothing compares to that beautiful whine complementing the roar of a V8

I didn't even notice they dumbed anything down. Last time I checked they were redoing some calculations to make it more accurate?

>>13827525
My 3800 is bretty gud. Gets decent mileage for a V6, makes alright power and is pretty reliable for pushrods. Wish it was a little cheaper but whatevs

It's basically an Audi rs6 avant. Those things are not cheap irl either.

Regarding the dumbing down, they removed a lot of camshaft options, it's also when they scraped the advanced intake model they were working on

Under 3:16 at LeMans

>>13833002
That's not far off from where I was to start with. Need to add LeMans again and see if I can beat it.

>>13833054
Have fun.
Last time I checked, my 3:15.74 from the landbarge was the time to beat.

>>13833002

also if you mess with the morphs you can make one of the smaller trucks have a stupidly tiny bed.

V12s soon.
They can go up to 14 liters.
Which is gonna be the next engine in this car and is gonna let me break the 3 minute barrier.

It looks like boost drops off at 5800 RPM, do things explode past that or is it not possible to make more boost?

>>13837105
Nothing I can do for more boost. Even if I did manage to get more boost I'd have to drop the rpm limit. It's set at 7600 right now and it's borderline on both rpm and torque limits for the bottom end.

Automation challenge

Having joined a manufacturing team your job is to build the ultimate car for the poor automotive enthusiast of a japanese bulletin board.

Design and build a car for the highest Fun (budget) class built in 1990

my shitbox related sporting a 3.0 litre twin turbo V6.
23.9% Affordability
35.0 competitiveness
Desirability 383

Im certainly doing something wrong because my best category is actually pony cars.

its almost one of the best cars in the pony car class, i think the engine is too expensive for the budget class.

It's an '88 model because I've been trying to recreate how the tycoon would play and in the sandbox the EFI appears in '88 you the line-up was revamped, although this one still uses webbers.

>>13837705
any other category you want to see? I've cars made all the way from 40 to 92.
I'm currently stuck about what to do in after the 92 revamp because after MFI in 92 there is no tech that can really chance the consumer market that much apart from changing trims to be more modern.

>>13837700
ifigured that would be relatively cheap, but you cant get single turbos on a V.

so working on an inline 4 at the moment

>>13837712
if you like in classes via list not just in grid view it also shows you the top car of that class. do you have any "best in class" cars?

Why do you guys even build these unusable shits?

>>13843991
peaky? shes pretty smooth over 3k RPM once you get over Mt.Spool.

>>13844083
because dyno queens.

why dont you suggest a challenge? size/config limits? induction limits?

maybe the goal is "most RPM spent above 300bhp" or something. with a 3.0L engine capacity.

i dunno think of a challenge that suits longer lasting less peaky engines.

>>13844002
have you even played the game all there is are twin turbos

all the stuff you want is retarded since theyre not common but they might come after they rebalance the entire engine system
