Most powerful engine?

I think I may have made the most powerful engine in the game. I started out trying to recreate the Hennessy venom gt's engine. And then I realized just how much power I was getting out of it with push-rods and and multi-point EFI. So I updated it with direct injection and dual overhead cams and got over 2100 Hp.

Nope, sorry to rain on your parade but the most powerful engine in Automation is somewhere in the 3,700hp range. I think it's someone called deskjetser who holds the record. I have no idea how they do it, but I guess keep trying!

There's a thread for it somewhere called "Your Most Powerful Engines" but I can't find it quick because I'm on mobile.

Deskjester holds it for 3,721hp. This was achieved with an older version of the game, so it is invalid. You could take the title for this version of the game. Here is an unofficial leaderboard: viewtopic.php?f=34&t=1990

Beat this. 8-)

Also, remember to set the year to 2020 for the best performance possible.

you could get higher than that with 0 mtfb, it was completely pointless though.

I don't believe you can. Best I've gotten is right under 3700.

You need to fine tune the Turbo so that it works best with the current cam setting.
You also may need to tune the ignition and compression ratio better to squeeze that last bit of power.
But for the most part, it's all about Turbo/Cam optimization. :geek:

Also, if you guys are having a tough time matching what I got, I can post the engine .lua if you want.

There's really no point in posting/displaying a motor with 0 MTBF/Reliability, who cares if it runs.. we can't use it for anything, so.. it's totally useless.
