RC45's Design an Engine Contest.
 

I would like to hold a "Build an Engine" contest.

We are all car nuts and get all huffy during engine and perfomance debates - so let's out our money where our mouths are.

Who can design the "best" engine.

This is very subjective of course - so the actual terms of a winner are still under development.

Your entry will be the specs of the engine you want to design to put in the real car of your choice.

I will atke the specs of the engine and run it through a Dyno-Simulator and your engines power graphs and tables will be judged.

Stay tuned for rule adjustments.

Looking for the specs on the F2004 to feeed here :wink:

um, im confused. what precise specs do you need?!?! Weight, power, torque!?! Or a lot more detailed info!?

the idea is to design an engine and then he will enter it into the program and out comes your HP and Torque numbers.

well I just posted this up in the other topic just to see how it works out...

OK just for basics to try this thing out Ford 427, 4 valve V8 Methane Turbo at 30psi
and a 36 degree overlap, intake 2.0 and exhaust 1.6 compression ratio 11.5:1
hydraulic lifters, racing cam (if available) you can do the little stuff if anything doesn't quite mesh well
WTF throw in a 200 shot of nitrous just for kicks
Garrett GTP38R turbo with dual 800CFM Holley 4 barrel carbs

a drag racing engine i guess t-bird??? hehe :D

HELL YEAH!

EDIT:
Can you make those 1050 CFM carbs if you haven't already run it...

now....30PSI....that's some boost going on there lol

Diesel trucks baby!

OK - here is thge sample run:

hahah, i've seen some of the turbo's they use on merc trucks...now that's big!!

1083hp/903ft/lb no Nitrous :shock:
1280hp/1141ft/lb on the bottle :wink:

nice way to start :twisted:

Now drop that into a Cobra and watch out!

it's pretty impressive how high the torque curve is with NO2 in the beggining than without it

well there isn't as much time waiting for the power adder since it is introduced at the beginning.

I left about 120hp on table.. ;) - I installed solid lifters in your motor by mistake.. :lol:
