I’m newer to this game, and I usually have MAJOR issues with the economy, especially when it comes to trying to get it down to .750
I was able to squeeze 225HP out of this naturally aspirated, 2.0L Inline-4 engine.
This is my first, fully completed engine. Give me some opinions on this, and tell me some things you think I could possibly do to make this engine even better without getting too many parts out of the green
Might go back and do that. This was supposed to be a “base” for a race engine. I was gonna shoot for about 400HP with this engine in it’s race variant.
I usually use a double baffled muffler - it seems to get the best combination of noise reduction with low cost. Also, you get extra sportiness points for engine noise so if you want sporty go with a single baffle. Using bypass valves will allow you to squeeze out a little more horsepower.
I’m liking what I see here - a powerful NA engine with some pretty decent efficiency. Post some more screenshots of the other tabs if you want us to offer more critique.
Biggest issue I see here is the production units are nearly 500, that means you went crazy with the quality sliders. I am pretty sure your can get a very similar engine by using a shorter stroke and larger bore to keep reliability high at those RPM’s.
Switch to Long Tube headers, and use those bypass valves, being a sporty engine we don’t want it silent all the time.
