you can very easily get 100hp/L and spool around 2400RPM on an I6 though. That’s why I don’t like twin-turbos that much
nah. i like twins… i just don’t like the 80s tech turbo.
Shhh, I’m planning something, but I’ll have to search the forum a bit and set some things with some people
well yes that was my earlier point. That’s also why I went with a smaller i6 (smaller because it’s long and doesn’t fit so easily )
This is what I’m working with presently. It definitely is a bit modest power wise, but I can tell you it gets the car up to speed faster than you’d expect, and gives great mileage. In the end I was fairly pleased with what I managed to cobble together.
@JohnWaldock yeah see that’s the issue, I considered the spool of higher than 2600rpm just too high for our purposes. I wasn’t prepared to accept anything more than about 1800, because a county police car would spend far more time cruising around at low speeds than getting on the freeway let alone in a chase. And in a suburban setting, just how fast does the car need to go in a chase? Some of the power outputs I’m seeing here are like, chase down the supercar highway patrol level That said, a staggered bi-turbo setup would be amazing for this application but we just don’t have that… yet.
i guess, but i wanted the turbos there so you get more when you aint burbuling around town.
Pragata Gentala Dinas
Pragata Gentala Dinas is a special variant for enforcement purpose, instead optimized for overall track perfomance Dinas was optimized for harsher road condition and high millage usage. Using specialized V8 engine that modified from original one, the Gentala Dinas still able to reach with lesser power output but run much efficient and still able to reach 170MPH. the body was also much bigger for utility reason.
any interior feature was stripped especially the entertainment system in exchange room for equipment that will installed later by buyers. suspension setup also designed for rougher road including dirt path, it may only RWD but Gentala Dinas is guaranteed run more effective on its class.
with the price we offer and the budget that Tantum City have, we can offer you 15 units for your fleet replacement
#2000 Delta Adept
We understand that the officer in charge of filing the order for a municipal police car has the unenviable position of juggling just about every single compromise possible in the world of buying an auto. Small enough to go through the alleys and the ‘shortcuts’, but large enough to seat your officers (and suspects) without feeling like Binky the Clown, and enough room left over for your equipment and shotguns. Powerful enough to drop the hammer on any wannabe Houdinis, but economical enough not to burn a hole in the PD’s fuel budget. Snappy handling, but not back breaking ride. Utilitarian, but a hint of creature comforts go a long way to making the long shift on the beat tolerable, and by that we mean more than donuts and coffee. High quality, tough, reliable… and affordable.
Let’s make the job a bit easier for you by showing you a car that does everything without breaking the bank, the appropriately named Delta Adept.
Obviously this car has yet to be fitted, but it’s otherwise ready to get to work. What it is presently is our sporty utility trim of family wagon, designed specifically for the American whose vehicle is their office, an extension of their life. We innovated on the enduring theme to give you something that is at once familiar yet superior. This is the wagon that’s made rugged where it counts, made refined where it counts, and can deliver whenever you need. But talk is easy, here are the hard facts:
Radical as it may seem, we have every confidence that our new i6 turbo design is not just among the most efficient in America, but in the world. We embraced forced induction early, realising its benefits in improved power and efficiency, yet balanced it with early torque delivery. Spooling at just 1800rpm, this engine is just about ready from the get-go to give you shove in a nice even dose until you’re closing in on the redline, if the occasion demands some hustle.
As promised, coupled with a smart 5 speed sequential transmission for improved power delivery to the rear wheels, the Delta Adept returns both economy and emissions figures a good decade ahead of the curve. And with near-stock standard parts derived from common manufacturing, you can enjoy sub 2k running costs after servicing, petrol, and insurance all up. That’ll definitely save the bottom line.
We’ve chosen to tender the wagon variant because of its versatility. Oodles of cargo room means easy conversion to suspect containment, equipment and weapons storage, even (and especially) K9 unit. This is a platform which will remain relevant to your changing needs for years to come.
But don’t let the big tailgate fool you: the living and driving experience is at once both facile and lively. The improved comfort over its competitors is not the product of any fancy tricks in our interior, even though it does pack a stereo radio and cassette deck (those stakeouts can go for a long time after all). Rather, it was our attention to the details of the ride: we used superior and more durable suspension components, and tuned it to optimise between sharp handling and a pliant ride. You can enjoy peace of mind knowing that your ability to protect and serve will be facilitated by the most advanced in safety equipment and driving assists.
And, need we say, thanks to our philosophy of utilising exactly as much power as needed, the Delta Adept handles pretty damn well on the track:
The price for 1 unit is 14630, meaning on a budget of 250k, we’d be able to offer you 17 examples.
@stensen That’s quite good for an i4. I see you’ve run about .3 more bar of boost which explains the rather big jump in torque, though it’s pretty impressively early. Is that wrecking your drivability at all? If you’re concerned about that, I imagine you can probably shrink the turbo compressor and increase the AR ratio (edit: that is, if your amount of boost will let you. I haven’t tried but I just remembered that you’re quite close to the point where increasing AR ratio won’t actually achieve anything).
There’s way too many supercars on here… how many cars in 2000 were even able to go 180?
@strop’s got the right idea. Very well balanced car that manages to be fast, comfortable, easy to drive and practical. Probably got yourself a winning car there I think.
using basic entertainment system i assume? except your torque curve is super flat its gonna be hard to reach 30 with only standard interior
It’s indeed a standard 0 interior and a basic entertainment also at 0! The fancier you get with any given component, the worse the reliability gets, and I already had to look into ways to specifically boost that. Also, flat torque curve is good for comfort, it’s sudden changes when BOOOOSCHT kicks in that ruin it.
As for where I did get the comfort from, my blurb gives most of it away. Optimised suspension tuning, cost-effective suspension components, and reasonable profile tyres.
Uh. I got 37 comfort in mine with a standard interior.
@Denta standard interior, +0 and basic CD, +0
with or without entertainment?
btw it matters quite a bit just how much passenger space you have. I picked my body because while it didn’t have ludicrous dimensions and a reasonable wheelbase, the cabin was pretty square on and so there was plenty of room. Just having entertainment really boosts your scores. Improved entertainment has diminishing returns per cost and lost reliability, which is why I’m a pretty big fan of basic option. However, the basic seats are really uncomfortable, so standard is often the better compromise in budget settings where you want some semblance of feeling left in your arse after a trip
also, premium interior absolutely kills reliability (and therefore running costs) as well as piles on a shit ton of cost
nice car. except i would like it to have an automatic transmission
i have yet to put my engine into a car. just put it together cause i was interested in the differences in dimensions, costs, and economy of an inline 4 with comparable displacement and power.
I may have one of the most comfortable cars then? I used a premium interior (+4) as I thought it would be nice to have a comfortable car, thus part of the reason my price is higher… I can only replace 12 cars. (That’s with the budget cassette player for entertainment)
I left out the entertainment completely.
Wouldn’t want to give Officer Dibble false hope of a comfortable car!
