Most powerful 393cc i4 possible

[Pretender]

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:

Who can beat me?

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.

But....but....but how? I can only get 187HP.... I guess I need to try harder

best I could manage

I could only get mine to 187 hp 115.7 ft-lb?

I agree!

Full boost at 8200 rpm is hilarious. Good job

Here is my 393cc baby monster.

I was only able to get 201 HP. Full boost is at 10,300 rpm though! haha

Octane is only 94.6? Or is it a case of if u up compression the thing explodes? haha

[Der Bayer]

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

My bad! didnt notice. Thanks for clearing that up

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?

[Reaper392]

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

[Killrob]

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