AlexM Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I'll be on today and the next couple of days at least at all sorts of times - need to earn some money for my 'multiple setups' masterplan. Currently evaluating twin turbo vs. NA, tried a supercharger but found it was a little slower as less torque and not brilliant power. Single turbo vs. twin seems not a lot in it, I have settled on the v8 powerplant though over the 2JZ. Have you done enough tuning to allow us to do some races on a track other than Laguna Seca yet?

Stratty Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I will probably be on from late afternoon if anyone is around for a race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDR Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Have you done enough tuning to allow us to do some races on a track other than Laguna Seca yet? LS is just a good track for me to benchmark my car against the competition - I know it very well as I tend to set up my cars there given it's a good variety of corners and high speed with off camber stuff thrown into the mix. I know it isn't my driving at LS and can quickly see if my car ain't up to the mark, on all these new fangled tracks I'm learning the track as much as anything. Pretty confident on my general setup now following much time on car development Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 What sort of top end do you need to be competitive? I can barely crack 200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 My supe had the lowest power rating if I recall yet I still can hold up in the top 3 sometimes. Not all about the power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted December 29, 2009 Author Share Posted December 29, 2009 just balance all the ratings and you should be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I believe races are won on corners. Except for tracks like silverstone which are few and far between Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDR Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 What sort of top end do you need to be competitive? I can barely crack 200. On most tracks it's not about the top end - concentrate on other areas for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 On most tracks it's not about the top end - concentrate on other areas for sure! I've created a few setups. Just need to know if 200 is competitive for the faster tracks. What was the reason for you needing to tweak your setup? I thought it was top end? Thats really the only reason I was wondering. Looking to get in on the action once the LT firmware comes out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking to get in on the action once the LT firmware comes out It was just generally a poor combination of parts vs. other peoples setups so slower in a straight line and in corners. My focus had been too much on power so the car was overweight. I've also gained some lap time from tweaking my car setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratty Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I would say that mine is probably one of the slowest in a straight line but is now much better around the corners. I managed to win 3 races last time around so it's not just down to the top end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
