I've decided that if we have enough interest that I am going to run a Forza 2 challenge.

The challenge itself will be the fastest lap time, around a certain track, with the choice of only 1 car.

Driving assists i am unsure of but will be decided before the comp takes place.

There are a few rules though.

You must be a member of SAU - It is only open to members and if you have a post count of 10 or something you will not be considered a valid entry.

You will have two weeks from the start date to get your time in. A screenshot will be okay, or we can get the times off xbox live if you have it.

At the end the person with the fastest lap will receive a prize.

The prize will be a videogame of your choice up to a retail of 29.95.

For example you could have any platnium ps2 game up 29.95, any Vivendi Best Sellers Series on PC, The "Thats Hot!" range on pc, "Big Bytes" on pc, etc, etc.

I will be paying for the prize and organising the shipping and everything.

Tell me what you think and we can fine tune it. Hopefully we can have it started by the first of July. And it will run for 2 weeks from the first.

You will be required to register before it takes place.

Thanks Karl

I will be more then happy to be in it... dont think I will win it but I will gladly make up the numbers :domokun:

And as for the assists... there is no way to prove whether people use the assists or not is there??? Based on that assumption its probably better to allow the assists to rule out any unfair play...

well looking at the scoreboards on the net it says what assist you have used.

but we could make it an honesty thing i guess.

the only assist i don't beleive in is driving line,

cos most cars nowadays have automatic, stability control, abs, etc, etc.

Ahhh okay... I have only had my 360 for about 2 weeks so I am still learning the ins and outs...

Sounds like there is going to be some tough competition... :action-smiley-069:

I hope it allows the basic driving aids like ABS TCS etc cause I am still using those in my career mode :(

ok people, i've decided that the track will be Laguna Seca.

And that the car will be an "A" class car.

I'll let everyone put imput as to what car we will have. But i will finalise everything tomorrow night. And we will start on the 2nd of July and run until the 16th of July.

All entries will need to be in by midnight the 16th of July.

So lets hear some suggestions for cars.

Kralster there are some things that need to be taken into account when selecting the car.

For instance..

Game progression:

Depending on how far everyone is into the game certain cars may not have been won/unlocked.

Price:

Price to purchase car and also price of upgrades (although the more expensive cars have the more expensive upgrades anyway)

I think the car chosen should be a D Class car that can then be tuned up to A Class. This will make it cheap and affordable to all

Thoughts?

Edit: Another thing to keep in mind is that depending on your chosen region some cars are won e.g. ae86 so these should not be selected i dont think

hmm i didn't think of that.

If we all play under arcade mode won't all of that be of no concern?

so if we make it a "A" class car thats availble right from the beginning there should be no problem.

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      As someone who has been playing with turbo things for some time now, be prepared for this to not be the first time feeling this way    I'm busy as atm, but if no one else covers the things I'm realising are worth mentioning to you then I will when I have a chance as it seems like I overestimated your knowledge on how turbos and wastegates work.  Otherwise I recommend having a look around how wastegates and boost control work, really anything on understanding the general mechanism of boost control as it will help you find the answers to the questions you're looking for.  Your initial question jumps some fundamentals.

      so this is an anomaly??? I thought it was a voluntary increase

      we can only guess exactly what happened from our keyboards, but to me it looks like they were targeting 27 but the wastegate was too small or poorly controlled and the boost crept up, that is quite common

      Good points!  Took those for granted - though I *did* actually give an example of winding boost up more than it had been before where I wasn't actually specifically looking for more peak power.  The Toyota Starlet dyno plot that I shared and mentioned showed an overlay from the previous tune it had and the one I'd redone, I left the boost targetting the same as the old tune but then after peak power I ramped boost up by a good 5psi or so over what the old tune had at the same rpm. The reason I felt comfortable with this (though the owner of the car had a "are you sure?" moment when I suggested it) is that the setup wasn't turbo limited, it was largely head sealing limited and the owner was a bit concerned as for the last few seasons he'd had issues with head lifting - sometimes not completing an event without having some headgasket issue, so he didn't want to run any more boost than it was. The reasons I was ok with raising the boost a good 5+psi MORE than that was that I left it where it was in the middle, and only increased it where VE (and therefore cylinder pressure vs psi) were dropping hard and I didn't stop the torque from dropping, just reduced the drop.  Well, there is that and the fact that the previous tuner had it overtimed by near 7degrees at peak torque - but that's another story haha.    I didn't really go into detail about that "turning it up more" thing but now you've mentioned the "not detuning", sometimes the boost *can* be turned up higher than you'd expect if the setup allows for it and you do it smartly.  I've tuned things to run 30psi on BP98 "safely" that a few years ago (or still?) people would cry that it was a stupid idea - but given they were well intercooled, low EMAP turbos and only doing that kind of boost where VE is dropping etc I was pretty confident it wasn't as cowboy as it sounded at face value and we never ended up with issues as a result of it.
