Is it an MGB?

Dual wastegates are actually very common. And they are almost required for split-pulse manifolds.

Quote from Dru :

If there is a problem with the TBO's on LFS, let LFS sort it out, not localised or individually on the CTRA system.

I voted no restriction and put all my suggestions in that other post.

I do agree however.. Who knows when the next patch will be And who knows if it will address this issue. I'm sure the Dev's know and are working on this but who knows where this is on their list of priorities.

I guess this depends on how big of an issue all of the ctra racers feel this is.

I voted no restrictions. I've just started racing on Race2 and It appears to me that the FXO's are not overly dominant. I can't provide any real feedback though. I'm not nearly as fast as I need to be to compare the three cars.

Bmw E30 for a track car. I'm not sure how available they are in scotland though. They are quick. light, rwd/4wd, fun and inexpensive.

I beleive it's an AC Ace. or something along those lines.

It do the job for reasonably boosted engine (like most regular road cars).

It does indeed for low exhaust output road cars.

Quote from tristan :

I don't love the sound of atmospheric blow off valves. They generate the sound known to me as 'pure moron'. Only an idiot would fit one on a road car in place of a recirculating valve.

I know what you mean, Mine is recirculated before the compressor. I was looking for a sarcasm/ rolls eyes smiley to put after that.

Maybe this one will work ---->:riceboy:

Back on topic though I'm sure just about every race car is using a 3 way electronic boost control valve that is controlled by the engine management. Wastegates generally do not provide accurate boost control when using just the spring.

Quote from DragonCommando :

Generaly high performance race cars won't need boost controlers, unless they are bracket racing drag cars. If you have a boost controler on a road car, it's simply for show and serves no function other than to say "I have a boost controler, I'm cool":rolleyes:

What the hell are you talking about?! Why would a race car/road car not need a boost controller? Do you think they just magically stop building boost?

Every turbocharged vehicle needs some type of boost controller. Whether it be electronic, manual or just the wastegate spring.

Quote :

The blow off valve serves a completely different function and controls boost during throttle off, there are no servos or switches of any kind on the bov, just a single vacuum line going to the intake after the throttle plate.

So what exactly are you saying here? Is controlling boost a different function than controlling boost?

But seriously the Bov does not technically control boost it just releases the positive pressure from the charge pipes to prevent surge. And provides that wicked sound everyone loves so much.:riceboy:

Adding things like this would have no real effect on realism for me. I hate how these threads start out as stupid suggestions then turn in to people arguing about how something works.

Adjustable boost levels while on the track is just silly. And it would be about the same a a NOS button everyone is so crazy about.. As titanls said everyone would just leave it at the max safe level and not worry about it. So again pointless suggestion.

Palm ----> Face.

Gumpert apollo sport?

I just bought a server so I can run an event if anyone is interested?

Right now I have it set for As2r with the ufr but I dont have anything to force the restriction yet.

Server is "Rising Phoenix Motorsports" and the password is "practice"

Bought a 47 slotter Great deal thanks

Is ken really that bad? j/k j/k

Just incase you missed it it's http://www.rp-motorsports.net/


Hehe

I also like the XRR better now I have not really given the other cars a good drive yet But from the sound of things they will be better also.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

I'm also withdrawing. Thanks for the effort, guys, but this series isn't for me.

+1 I'll also be withdrawing.

besides I just dont have the free time on the weekends.

I think it would be pretty cool to be able to do point by's With a hand or something the blinkers can be a tad confusing.

Quote from dougie-lampkin :

Maybe it's just me, but I find that the cars in LFS stall way too easily, like the engine is too "heavy" or bogged down.

The XFG for example (as a normal road car), unless you use massive first gear ratios with a top speed of 15mph, just can't take off without excessive (1/4 to 1/2) throttle

Are you using a button clutch or a G25 pedal?

I can usually take off very easy(low rpm) If I use a pedal clutch but I have a DFP so I have no brakes

As long as this only happens with tweak I doubt very much anything will happen..

I can see that there is 6 + 9 votes to rejoin = 15. And only 11 for DNF............

I can see that the Race Admin decided on DNF
