Default 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.

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

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