    They should add all this functionality to Live For Speed, so you can simulate driving what you create.

    Up over 200 total score. Probably tweak it some more but I don't know if it'll really get any better.

    currently .6 lb/hph economy and 194hp

    1.5-0.7 = 0.8 * 100 = 80
    202hp + 80 eco - 80 hp = 202?

    did i do it right?

    Edited:

    wait fuck my engine is way to big lmao

    Am I allowed to have a 1300cc engine or does it have to be 1299 or less because I was able to squeeze out another point with it.

    Also are ITB's allowed? You mentioned "Performance" intake but unlike when you specified a standard 3 way cat you didn't mention if the intake had to be standard.

    far as i've made it tonight, might try to tweak it some more tomorrow but i really don't think i'll be able to get much more out of it without cancelling out hp gains by also raising the lb/hph..

    costs are all wonky 'cause target factory is set to 1950, everything else is set to 2011 but i guess target factory just decided to be all different and ~edgy~

    High flow cat -- can't use that m8. The three way cat doesn't effect performance at all when you're using large pipe.

    Anyways, I'm done for now.

    If someone tops it I'll make it better :v



    My score total is:

    [1.5 - 0.3 = 1.2] * 100 = 120] + 186 = 306] - 80 = 226

    I like how it cost more than the entire world value at that time, to produce this shitbox engine

    Specs? Screenshot?

    I am sure there are tweaks to get a few more HP out of the engines but I don't see 16 more horsepower, I squeezed pretty hard for what I made and Dylan is saying he made 2 more HP than me but has also yet to post screenshot.

    I suck at this.

    Of course, this is my first time doing anything with engines, so I'll learn what I can.

    I want to be able to tune suspension geometries for race cars, I've learned how to set up suspensions from Forza Motorsport and Live For Speed. I guess I'll just have to wait for release.

    Edited:

    .9 lb/hph and 172 hp with a score of....152. :geno:

    What the fuck, nothing I do gets the economy below 0.5, and somehow you get 10 more horsepower than me with half the economy.

    I'll just... go play Diablo 3... in a couple hours... and forget all about this failure

    I give up. There is literally nothing I can do to get my horsepower ratings up while getting my economy down. It's literally impossible. I've tried every combination of every option imaginable, and there is nothing I can do to get it to Bradley's score. My best was 198.

    The winner of "Bradley and Turke's Automation Challenge" is...Bradley, the host of the challenge.

    Your displacement is a full liter larger than it should be. It's at 2311cc, and it should be at 1300cc or less.

    Edited:

    Also, i feel like several people are not seeing the technology slider on the individual tabs.

    Nice, looks like it's Dylan with 243, Psygo with 231, and then me with 226 for the top three.

    I'm curious as to how you guys pushed so much more power out, I couldn't find any more than what I got.

    you using aluminium block and head?

    for some reason making them cast gave me ~5hp :v

    also could be related to bore/stroke..
