turbo diesel engines usually run crazy high pressure, 2-3 bar on big rigs easily, however diesel engines and their operational characteristics are extremely different from gasoline engines and so far, our editor is too simple for these differences.
For example, a factory 2022 Ford F350 6.7 Turbo diesel here in the US runs roughly 40 psi of boost which is almost 3 bars. Horsepower is 450, torque is 1280 nm... something you can't do in the editor unless you set the pressure at 0.3 bar lol.
The good part about having to run super low boost when recreating a diesel engine in the editor is that the turbo will spool super-fast which is another characteristic of a diesel engine. Those fords will build 3 bar of boost in a blink of an eye. Turbo lag is nonexistent in large diesel engines, it's too small to be noticed.
I based this loosely off this 11 liter engine, with less power for this application since the one here is more recent (90's) If the specs you provided are realistic, that means this engine was originally naturally aspirated because the max torque @ rpm is way too high for a turbo 11.9 liter engine. I made one based on the specs you provided as well. Try them, tweak them to your liking.
Based on what i've read, the original 1982 bus used a N/A LIAZ ML 635 engine (which explains why i couldn't get the power figures close with turbo) and that a turbocharged variant didn't come out until 1987.
Torque should be coming in a bit lower in a 11.9L engine, and shouldn't rev more than 2500 rpms, i don't know the exact specs of this specific bus and the engine it's using, but i drive trucks IRL and that's usually the characteristics of engines this size.
I tried looking everywhere with no avail, but how are you guys accessing the "rotate" buttons under this menu. I have damn near ripped every gray hair off my head by now trying to figure this out lol.
There is no "Upper Control Arm" in the back of the P3 Volvo cars like this one. you have a rear subframe with 1 lower control arm. here is the suspension diagram from V O L V O
Edit: My terminology is also incorrect, the LCA is referred to as a "Trailing arm" (10 in diagram) while the arm that swings up and down with the hub attachment is the actual control arm (8)
Scawen, is it possible to make ballast weights for "truck" vehicles exceed 200kgs? something along the lines of 5,000kg? or maybe make the ballast a % of total vehicle weight like gross/net?
I think the weight is dertermined by the amount of frame points/tubes used. If he just used the simple start frame from the LFS editor then its missing the necessary tubage to make the weight more realistic
It's a scooter, not meant for turns that fast, and to be honest a 250cc is too powerful for one. This engine should be in the mosquito while the mosquito engine should be in this
You can sacrifice some revs in ignition timing to gain some low end torque and that naturally strengthens the clutch without having to add horsepower. For a 2.7 I5 engine, it should have more torque anyway, something around 400nm.
can you give it the true 320~hp it deserves please? lol it feels severely underpowered with that "gentlemen's agreement" power rating we all know was not true
