Re: Hot Hatch Cup - Accepting entries

question

Tech sliders are locked at 0 for tires, interior, and safety.


means i can put the assist at -15 right?
is that on purpose? or did you missed that?



edit: wait. it doesn't matter. i'll leave this post as is, as proof of my derp

I went naturally aspirated V8 and pulled power figures of 160 to 172hp. I tried putting more into it with reliability and the mpg. The engine is high revving so I got that going for it.



lol. my first trial engine. i tried the 800cc one. puny little bastard had rev limits of 10.100. but, actually i could crank it up to 11.100RPM because the power curve was flat from 8500 upwards. that was literally the highest revving engine i've ever made. and it made more power than yours... but the car overall was even slower than the benchmark car (1:27.8 on the top gear track). so.... to the bin it goes.....

This is the highest revving engine i've made too, I tried turbo but the costs skyrocket the way I design the turbo. Its a paing but I decided on Natirally Aspirated. I might even resubmit a jew engine if thats allowed.

Re: Hot Hatch Cup - Accepting entries

I've finished conducting tests on NA engines. Given their power curve is easier to deal with, more power is good. With this I was able to crank out a satisfactory amount but needed to put in big gobs of dosh to keep reliability up.

I was able to eke out more power with a turbo but drivability was terrible. I'm going to dial back the AR ratio and see what happens. Also, the more booscht, the more cooling and drag. That's a real pain for the Panda body. The larger more rounded body has a far better coefficient but is also much heavier.

Re: Hot Hatch Cup - Accepting entries

To those of you who are asking about re-submissions, its fine up until the deadline. Also I found that i6 engines tend to be quite good decent, as for the benchmark I managed to push out 193 hp with effectively no tuning, and high reliability. Both V8's were a bit iffy, and turbo's are annoying to deal with. I didn't test the i4 and V6 which I guess would have made more sense than going for the longer/wider engine types.

How on earth did you get a 1400cc NA or 800cc turbo to push out 400 hp :shock: That aside it's in no way bad as long as you follow the regulations.

Re: Hot Hatch Cup - Accepting entries

You can reach that with turbos, but the drivability hit is going to be killer, you're going to need awd and some fat rubber to rein in that boost, I imagine most of your budget is sunk into that engine. My N/A 4 banger is spitting out a bit more than 200hp, but I chose FWD so that's more then enough for me.

ummm dude?

that's V6 turbo vs V8 NA of course the V8 gonna have more valves.... but still the same 4 valves per cyl..

Putting final touches on.

Presenting: Rule Breaker (Not Built by LHE because 4v DOHC)

My 10.1:1 AFR was giving me 28l/100km, so I had to back off a bit. Lost some power, but further tweeking has kept the speed up.

Re: Hot Hatch Cup - Accepting entries

I knew there was a fair amount of money to go around but 400bhp is a ton. Will putting AWD be worth it... At this moment I've selected RWD as the best balance of handling and performance. AWD is heavy. And expensive. And the zero driving aids makes a big difference.

Testing continues!
