Since ConeDodger isn't doing his engine recreation series anymore, I need my real engine fix. So, I built a series of engines from real cars. I will post them on here.

Anyone can post these engines on this thread.

First, an F150 5.4 Triton engine; the engine I have in my own truck, albeit much less powerful due to this one being stock

Hi!
I've tried to emulate an H4J-A700 from Renault, engine that goes in my Megane 1.4TCe.
Not a crazy stuff but an interesting 'downsized engine'; 1.4l Inline 4 plus a little turbo (without DI).

Don't know the turbo specs so I've focused on the power curve...



The emissions also will not match with the original values (153 g/km).


ED: I forgot to attach the file.

My attempt at some Datsun z engines

They are close but not perfect.

a 1970 L24 out of a 240z



a 1981 L28E from a 280z I've rechecked my numbers and this one is way off, my apologies and I will fix as soon as I can.



and a 1983 L28ET from a 280zx

a 1967 350 chevy what do you think.

Looking for help with my datsun z engines (see posts above), http://zhome.com/History/zcarperf.html the power figures are during the gross to net change over and I'm trying to figure out approximately how much power these cars really made when I redo the 280z tonight.

Here's a half-decent attempt to recreate GM's LS7.

Before one of you gets on my butt for quality slider abuse, let me do some math and compare.
Chevy sells the LS7 as a crate engine for $17,129 (U.S.) Online.
I'll use an average rate of 20$ per production hour.
314.2 production hours times 20 = $6284 in man hours
Material costs is $2094.33. 6284 plus 2094.33 = $8378.33.
So this engine's production cost is about half the price that Chevy sells it at. Seems realistic, doesn't it?

I know this engine wasn't made in 2014,
but if i select a date below it then valve lift becomes severe.
Of course at dates like 2008, setting the quality of the heads until valve lift is not a problem nearly quadruples the man hours,
making it unrealistic. Having no tech pools makes me have to set the date higher as a workaround.
In addition I have no control over little tidbits in the intake, block, heads,
and exhaust headers because Automation isn't THAT in depth.

How do you all think i did?
You can compare this to the real thing at:

Vortec 5700 L31 One of many Gms 5.7s that they horribly underrated.

Original Engine (C16SE BR Version):
http://www.vrum.com.br/Autos?tp=VRUM&name=db:FichaTecnica&fabricante=Chevrolet&modelobase=CORSA&anomodelo=2000&codigo=004004-5

L4 - 1.6L (1.598 cm3)
Overhead Cam - 2 valves per cylinder
Bore x Stroke: 79.0 x 81.5 mm
Compression: 9,4
Fuel System: Injection Multi Point
Power: 92 cv / 5.600 rpm
Torque: 13,0 kgfm / 2.600 rpm
Block: Cast Iron
Head: Aluminum

My engine in Automation:



90.7hp = 91.95cv or 92cv

Here is my collection of Small-Block Chevy's from the beginning to the end.

With the exception of the 302, these are all cast log, pushrod, overhead valve carburated engines running regular leaded gasoline and have at least one muffler installed. A couple of them still require some tweaking, as well.

The beginning of the legend, a 1955 265 V8 2bbl


1957 283 2bbl


1962 327 4bbl


1966 302 4bbl


1967 350 2bbl


1970 400 2bbl


1974 262 2bbl


1976 305 2bbl

That's pretty impressive. Nice job!
Soon, I will try to post a couple comparable ford engines.

So, I've been on a bit of a BMW kick of late. I have a number of BMW engines, 4 cylinder, 6 cylinder, and a few V8's, N/A and Turbo. Lets give them a look! Since none of these engines are actually mine, I will include them to download for your own game, of course!

First, the V8's. All of these are MPFI, I hope, except the S63 which is HPI (direct injected). S63 was really tough since I am not good at tuning turbo engines. Maybe someone else can do a better job than I did. It also has a normal twin-turbo instead of the cross-engine intake and exhaust manifolds used in the real car, which probably isn't as much of a factor as my poor tuning skills.

N62 B36

N62 B40

N62 B44

N62 B48

N63 B44

S63 B44

S65 B40

S65 B44



Next the Inline 4's.
S14 B23 EVO2

S14 B25 EVO3



And finally, my favorite M3 engine, the S50 B30!

The official CO2 values doesn't match with the reality (the real TCe CO2 is 150-155 g/km), similar with the fuel consumption.

Pinned as we've been missing a replica thread for engines.

Thanks!

Where do you all find the info for these?!?
