For the amount of work you would have to go through to get a document from a PC to a phone.. It'd be much easier to just set your phone to hotspot mode and have your computer leech of it's data.

Mine isn't a competitor in the horsepower game. It has enough to get out of its own way.

Re: Man With a Van Challenge! (Open to Entries)

Ooh a turbo van, that's gutsy. I found it too expensive so I just went with large displacement (and almost no tech slider adjustment). Note though I'm also running something like 14.5:1 AFR!

Nonetheless I think my fuel economy's going to be pretty bad, that might singlehandedly destroy my score despite having a ridiculous utility score and what I believe to be strong drivability and comfort ratings.

Re: Man With a Van Challenge! (Open to Entries)

My fuel economy is fucking dreadful. I am awful at tuning turbos, the only reason I did it was for that low end torque. Plus, power/sportiness has no value, so no point making a 7.0 V8 van :lol:

Re: Man With a Van Challenge! (Open to Entries)

i almost submitted one with inline 6 2.6l turbo because i managed to make it put out 350Nm+@around 2k RPM and MUCH BETTER ECONOMY, managed 11.69km/l.

but ended up submitting something like 3.4L v6 i think? with only 200-220Nm@2k-ish similar HP number. but something among the line of only 10.5 km/l

because the drivability>fuel economy in scoring value.

Twin turbo 3L V6 FTW! :lol: . Yeah, my fuel economy is rather poor to say the least but oh well, it makes up for it in other areas.

Nothing wrong with that, Enry. Probably better fuel mileage than my lean-burning EFI V6.
