Got some new headlights for my love:



With these it might be even possible to see something during nights.

PS. This cars information:
Subaru Leone 1987/1988(cant remember.. )
4WD
Engine: 2,0l Carret 3 Turbo
BHP: 230+
Transmission: Manual
0-100km/h: 5,2 secounds
Top Speed: 220 km/h
Tires: Spike Tires, Winter Tires, Summer Tires

There is something about that

If those are the actual values that's one hell of a sleeper then.

Yeah I actually tried to be more exact but my English writing skills didn't allow that. Tho I was only trying to explain the wastegate's side of things so thanks for proper explanation in readable language.

Engine while flooring the throttle.

Quote from Christopher Raemisch :

With a turbo it's difficult to run a MAP sensor on the intake manifold. The pressures vary widely and the sensors have problems coping from what I understand. My car varies pressure from 30 pounds of vacuum to 15PSI within a second or so. Hence the MAF sensor instead.

For what I know MAP sensors are very common with turbo cars. Dunno about modern stock cars, but ie. Cossies use MAP sensor and usually when tuning turbo engine with aftermarket ECU, a MAP sensor is very common. IE. my current N/A Pinto engine has stock ECU with MAF, but if I'm going some day to different ECU (Megasquirt) and turbo I'm getting rid of the MAF and going to use MAP instead. I'm not even sure if common aftermarket ECUs are able to read MAF sensors properly.

Quote from Osco :

you meant Manifold Absolute Pressure I take it?

Ah yes, stupid mistake.

Quote from Nathan_French_14 :

But its not the BOV breaking the catalysor, its the change in air/fuel ratio which is destroying the catalysor usually from the car over-fueling. The extra heat then melts the inside of the catalysor, then goes hard after the car has cooled down, which then cause's the exhaust to get blocked, reducing performance. That why, when fitting any performance part (matters more on slightly more modern cars) (including BOV's), you need to get the car re-mapped to suite the part.

Yes of course it's the rich ratio, but I'm not still perfectly sure how changing the BOV can have that big effect.

Pay once and you got the game.

Lambda sensor is in exhaust. It measures the air/fuel ratio what has burned in cylinder. All EFI cars don't have this at all.

MAF sensor (mass air flow) is usually after air cleaner and measures the mass of the air getting in.

MAP sensor (mass air pressure) is in intake manifold, after throttle body and measures the air pressure. Cars with MAP usually don't have MAF I believe.

Getting rich fuel ratio doesn't usually brake engine, lean does. Rich may broke the catalysator tho.
Modern engines are very sensible so I can imagine them suffering from rich ratio, but I can't be sure.

If you change the circulating BOV to atmospheric one in some cars it may have a tiny effect on the air fuel ratio, I'm actually not perfectly sure why, because MAP and MAF are used to measure how much you need fuel.

I have never heard anyone braking catalysator with atmospheric BOV, but it is told as a common fact in some modern cars so I can't deny.

Good thing I'm never going to own a catalysator (I hope).

BTW injection cars stop supplying fuel when the throttle is closed and the car is in engine brake.

The bit about motion sickness

Ah! Now I know what have happened me two or three times. Sometimes after long periods playing FPS games I haven't felt sick, but I have felt slightly "faint" and had a bad feel of balance, a bit like when drunk. I haven't noticed that motion sickness would be usual to me, but I'm pretty sure this has something to do with it.

Yeah no problem. Sorry if I disappointed you.

Hmmm I'm not actually 100% sure what you meant there but I was saying that I have tested road cars with slicks in LFS. It makes them like completely different cars and they are really enjoyable with them.

Quote from DevilDare :

some FPS games can give me massive headache, like COD games, i think its because of the colors changing too fast or something

but Portal was fine, good game actually

COD5 and COD4 give me headache. But I think that's because of the annoyingly low FOV.

Quote from ADX.14 :

I want to refresh the thread because this is a worthwhile issue to review.

IMHO, we should have slick tyre option for all cars, even for real road cars. Moreover it's hard to define which car is the road car. (LX6, RB4, FXO, XRT, RAC, and FZ5 all have strong engine power; high speed capacity and etc.)

We push all cars to their limits via different setups. With the absence of slick tyre option we can't reach these limits totally. The slick tyres give cars the strongest grip except for wet tarmack surface condition. (Nowadays, no rain drops in the sky of LFS. )

I'm respectful to different opinions and want to know your thoughts.

Here you are some screens..

Getting OT but thanks for including my skin there (Celica).

Quote from senn :

i wish all tyres were available on all cars. As long as it was controllable by the server as a game restriction (ie street tyres only etc) i don't see the issue.
tyres are one of the things u can change on ANY car (unless u have some weird size that doesn't have anything available, mini or something where u have to use wheelbarrow tyres :P)

And on topic, yes this could be nice. I have tested the road cars with slicks and they are great fun with them.

Quote from ma70nismoEd :

i suspected it was my processor. another thing i've been needing to upgrade anyways.

thanks alot for the info/tips!
i greatly appreciate it

Your not gonna get it running properly by just changing the processor, because that 9400 isn't suited for gaming.

Quote from JJ72 :

just lift the handle with your mouse, took me a dozen try as well, guess its an easteregg.

What. Is that actually possible? I just just photoshopped it like I said already.

Still recovering, feeling very tired.

Quote from jibber :

I've never heard a stock bov (isn't it called a wastegate anyway?) that makes such stupid noise as all those aftermarket bov's do. It's just for the show effect, and therefor quite stupid, yes.

The duck bov is awesome tho!

Wastegate and BOV are two completely different things. BOV is in the boost pipe (or how I should call it in english) before throttle body and it keeps the turbo from chattering when the throttle is closed and the pressure gets back to the turbo (or it would without BOV).

Wastegate on another hand is controlling the boost itself, it controls the spinning speed of the turbo and ie. external wastegate has it's place in the exhaust manifold.

Stock cars BOV doesn't usually make that much noise, because they don't usually pass the pressure straightly to the open air and stock cars have lots of "sound proofing stuff" in the inlet side.

For tuning and high performance these type of BOVs aren't that good and sound proofing usually isn't a good thing either.

BOVs aren't stupid, but if you want one for only making teh cool noise, it's stupid.

Well... 3dr Sierra, XR4i V6 2.8 and the Cossie.

Hmmm... Got my car painted.

This is my original sleeper if you look my earlier post. But maybe I'll do some work for the Type 3 too.

Quote from BigPeBe :

Hmmm it could be cool if it would be possible to add rust on the body.

Oh well, there's nothing Photoshop can't fix.

It's a rat sleeper. When this was ready I kept imagining in my mind the sound of that 2-litre boxer-4 with tight overlap cams idling and banging very loudly. Now I want one IRL.

Oh and this sleeper is for the street use. It has a Porsche engine in it then.

I have been using Avira Antivir for years now and I can recommend it too, it's free and quite good too.
