Hi There

Here is the closest I could come to the 5.4 from a 2003 Ford Falcon XR8. The power and torque figures are not 100% (right number, wrong revs) but everything else I could match , I did.


Here is some of the engine data from the real world.


Ford Australia..........2003 Boss 260.......BOSS 260 Automation
Head Metal.............Aluminium alloy....Aluminium alloy
Block Metal.............Cast-iron.............Cast-iron
Bore.....................90.2...................90.2
Stroke...................105.8.................105.8
Capacity................5408...................5408
Compression Ratio....9.5:1..................9.5:1
Cylinders...............8.......................8
Power...................260kW @ 5250rpm..260.1KW @ 5700rpm
Torque..................500Nm @ 4250rpm..501NM @ 3800rpm
Valve Train.............DOHC (Non VCT)....DOHC (Non VCT)
Valves / Cylinder......4 (32).................4 (32)
Fuel Type...............ULP 95...............ULP 95
Rev Limiter.............5800..................5800
Intake...................Performance........Performance
Exhaust.................Single.................Single



Have fun with it and see if you can get it any closer!

Such a thread would be much better if you could complete it with real-life engine data (such as a power/torque graph and a component list), the achieved Automation figures and a little picture of the engine in question.

I've made some changes to give a better idea of the real world engines

Excellent! Now I can see an incentive for people to download and take a look
Would be good if you could put your Automation power/torque figures behind the IRL ones in a different color

Done

Maybe I'm blind, do your posts say anything about the fuel system used? That seems to be vital information in building engines.

Also, I think you'd only need to do the "...AutomationValue" for power&torque as well as stuff that can't be recreated in Automation or things you're unsure about. Would increase the general readability of your interesting posts!
