Granted this opinion could be solely on my average tuning merits, however does anyone else thing NA engines feel under powered compared to their real life counterparts? For example the very popular nissan VQ motor which has seen many many updates in its life cycle, now tops out at 300hp in the latest maxima at 3.5L of displacement. Trying to replicate something similar in game requires a large cam profile, tubular or long tube headers and direct injection to raise compression to very high levels.
Why is it that in real life manufacturers are able to squeeze out so much power using a cast manifold? The cast log manifold in game, I know is supposed to be very restrictive, but I feel like its a hair TOO restrictive.
I’m actually looking forward to engineering and research time features. I really want to see what creations are made when companies need to make compromises instead of being able afford or have access to the best tech
Top end power is a little too high, but getting right around 300HP at 6800RPM, 258lb-ft @ 4700RPM.
Detune the cams, Retard Ignition Timing, lower exhaust quality, and leaner fuel mixture, and you can replicate most tunes that Nissan uses pretty closely.
I’d say the hardest thing to replicate is the exact low end torque, IMHO.
