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.
