Exploration vehicle challenge (RESULTS ARE IN!)

[quote=“DoctorNarfy”]Yeah, Mechanical fuel injection is better as far as horsepower output, but in my opinion, it’s not worth the price gap. I’ve found a way to use carburetor to get pretty darn good reliability, but in the process, I think I’ve won the award for lowest specific output. 8 liters of thundering fury, developing… Wait for it…

110 Horsepower.[/quote]

sorry i just found my one engine i made, 10.8 liters of turbocharged V8 (yes knock free) producing…
3.3HP

I gotta know this one, was it just a personal goal to find the lowest horsepower without knocking or something?

kinda, got the idea when i was building a serious engine but i screwed up a turbo setting slider and i was getting only about 27 HP so i went on to try to make as low of horsepower per liter as possible, also for the fuel economy the thing runs in the gallons per mile range, but lets get this back on topic of the challenge

gallons per mile. okay.
now remove the catalytic converter, mas produce it and let that madafakin polluter be a polluter and send that to NASA as an engine to help make more greenhouse gasses on mars

How do you include images of your car in your post? I mean how do you upload the image into the post?

My Offroad Bus!


Thanks to “thecarlover” for the help with posting my images!

You need to use the direct image link for it to post. On imgur, right click and open the image in a new tab, and use that link instead.

[size=150][color=#FFBF80]ABR Designs (©)[/color][/size] is entering the automation scene with a desperate desire to prove their worth and make enough money to move their workshop out of the CEOs mothers apartment and into a more suitable location. Thrown together in a haze of alcohol and delusions of grandeur long after midnight, some design features may look oddly placed. Don’t worry though, this little baby runs like a charm at all times! (at least when we fired her up in the back yard earlier)

Without further delay, we proudly present:
[color=#FF4040][size=150]The ABR Honeybadger![/size][/color]


This magnificent vehicle comes fully equipped with a turbocharged 24V DOHC V6, doors and wheels! Freshly painted in the color [color=#FFFFBF]"Dusted Sand"™[/color] it always looks dirty and never needs a wash, saving the environment.

Exhaust tips mounted at a height sufficient to ford rivers at full power without worrying about waterpressure on exhaust reducing engine power. 13" steel rims with enough rubber, even for Ron Jeremy, ensures great offroad capabillities.

All this at a ridiculous price! Become one of the most lethal predators in the world, buy a Honeybadger today!

*PS: Since we are newly founded our administration is a bit lackluster and seems to have lost the submission details. If you could please provide us with foolproof information on how to submit our design it would be much appreciated!

Awesome post for a very first post

How much emissions do you guys have? I am looking at 2200 here.

my test vehicle was only 600, the highest i got so far was 3000+ tho

Thanks koolkei!

Got below 400 as I’m scared to death of penalties, but might have sacrificed quite a bit of torque for it, and still not sure it will pass inspection as it is my first contribution :wink:

3584

Is that on the engine or in the overview tab?

My engine is at 380, on my overview I am at 627 which was helped by getting 14.3mpg US.

On the engine tab: 570
On the overview tab: 1486.3

EDIT: and like 9 mpg :unamused:

That’s Yeti… design-wise nothing special but it has flat plane V8 doing 10.6 MPG :slight_smile:

At the engine i get below 350, in my overview I’m below 400 and getting over 16 mpg. Will share full stats after competition ends for anyone interested, just got a competitive streak that really likes to win :slight_smile:

Well done, depending on your other scores you should do well.
