I would like to now what the maximum amount of HP is - that's achievable with the smallest possible engine, the 393 CC i4. No further rules, so MTBF etc. isn't important.
My try:

Think I might have a bash at this, gimme a bit and I'll edit this up when I'm done.
Alright, here we are. There may be more in it, I stopped once I had ticked over 200hp. I must admit, I did enjoy watching max boost go off the scale in manual testing. 12000 RPM entirely unnecessary but I liked the screaming.

Full boost at 8200 rpm is hilarious. Good job

It's not RON but AKI. 94.6 AKI are around 100 RON.

Hi. New here. Sweet game, and after running half the scenarios, I liked this little challenge.
I managed to achieve 198 HP by slowly removing compression and adding timing , and saved the engine. I never failed an engine due to knock in the testing, just got the warning and reduced power.
When I open the saved engine file again (clicking 'modify'), it immediately failed due to knock, and won't run anymore on the same settings. I repeated this once by starting the tuning over and making a new save file; that saved engine won't run either. So, there seems to be a difference in the knock detection sensitivity in the live sandbox vs. files opened from the library. It's as if you can creep up on a compression/advance combination in tuning which exceeds the normal design limits.
Has anybody else run into this glitch? Is there anyplace particular where I should post what I found?

Are you running B1322 when this happens?

I havent run into that specific glitch, but i have had problems opening an engine and, after a couple of tests it will perform significantly differently, which could very well be related to your problem. I haven't reported it yet because i couldn't say for sure if it was caused by the engine being saved on a different build to the one i'm on when the bug happens

That problem should be fixed in B1322, that's why I'm asking.
