will say its easy to drive and is slow. They're wrong. You need to find that |
line. Pretty hard. |
That's pretty much it....other cars to quickly mention are: |
-Ford GT(Fast as hell but too expensive.) |
-180SX(simple to beat the game with) |
-Chaser(best starter from what people say) |
================================================================================ |
3)ENGINE: |
-a)Swaps: |
It's easier to explain this one by one. Some engines are not mentioned since |
they're pretty much useless. |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
Stock: |
This engine more likely has something the swaps don't. Usually its lighter or |
one of a kind. The Ford GT I believe can gain up to 750ps, which no engine can |
do. Others I know of are: |
-Silvia S15: has a 6 speed L4 Turbo. Weird thing is, the L6 swap for it is |
unbelievably lame and the L4 swap is a 5 speed. |
-Mercedes S600L and :Its loaded with a V12 engine. |
-Viper GTS: It has a V10 inside it. |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
NA: |
-V8: Hell I wouldn't have a NA secion but this engine is something. When you |
compare it to a V8 Turbo, it has a 6 speed,is lighter, and has Torque to |
support it properly. |
-RE: It's a 6 speed and was made for the RX-8. Just has more power than stock. |
This is heavier so the car may experience a bit more understeer. Think before |
you buy it. |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
Turbo: |
-L4:Has a wide powerband and its light. Sure its a 5 speed but it's capable of |
good times like under 4 minutes in C1 with the right car. |
-L6:This was said to be the best swap. I disagree. Its the fastest straight |
away engine but it's handling can be beaten. |
-V6:This engine has good response but heavy. Very...average.... |
-V8: Highest horsepower but has no torque to support it. 5 speed's gearing is |
horrible. Pretty stable....and big. |
-F4:Best track engine. It may be heavier,and have less power and torque, but it |
conatins a 5 speed and its low center of gravity makes it handle perfectly. |
-F6: Its a F4 with low end torque. Odd thing is it can get high speeds easy |
with lighter cars and still keep smooth torque. It has less power and is |
heavier than the L4 but you'll notice the low end torque. |
-RE:Truthfully, this engine was only made for the RX-7's. They work PERFECTLY |
with them since they're based off a 50/50 weight balance. It does add more |
weight to the front but that's good so the car's are more stable to handle the |
power increase. Lightest engine of all turbo swaps |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
-b)Tuning: |
The only thing that you can really tune are the turbo engines by controlling |
their boost. By increasing boost, you get more high end power and your car |
heats up faster. And by doing that, you lose compression, which gives more |
low end power and makes the engine heat up less. Simple chart if you were |
setting the amount: |
0 1 2 3 |
Compression <--- Boost |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
Low end power; ---> High end power; |
Engine doesn't heat Quicker heat up. |
up as fast. |
================================================================================ |
4)BRAKES: |
Before you start, I recommend you get brake set Level 4 instead of 5. If you |
read the descriptions, they are both race type designs. Just that Level 5 is |
bigger overall, adding weight. Sure Level 4 feels lose, but you'll adjust. |
Adjusting the brakes is pretty simple. Using the brake controller you can change |
the amount of braking power. More power in the rear makes the car oversteer and |
vise versa for the front. This is noticeable when you brake. Also, the less |
overall braking power, the faster the accelerration, but braking will take |
longer. |
================================================================================ |
5)SUSPENSION: |
This isn't an easy one to figure out. So to to start off, the bias of rates |
between front and rear are that if the front has a higher rate, oversteer. |
If the rear has a higher rate, stability. Then stiffness; the stiffer the less |
roll. The looser the less resistance. |
