Update Speculation thread

A single or twin turbo setup blowing air into a supercharger which then blows that into the engine

 

And also the rest of the maps getting PBR. If the current teaser trend (every other week) continues, we may potentially get an updated teaser about the new car on March 1st.

 

I’d like that. March 1st is my bday so it’d be a nice present.

 

I'd always known that as a twincharged setup. That's extremely complicated though, only Lancia managed to make it work in the eighties. I'd expect either a more conventional twin turbo or a single turbo with antilag, but there's also a very slim chance of it being a larger displacement NA (3.0-3.5l, probably V6)

 

What I’d like to see is the (slightly unrealistic) turbo I6. Regulations of group b allowed it and it would’ve been pretty successful, but there wasn’t one in group b.

 

I believe the name Superturbo comes from the Nissan Micra (March) Superturbo, which was indeed twincharged

 

I totally Agree. being on the middle, Ibishu would have almost endless space to fit a engine there. Although maybe the 2.7 didn't exist back then, but Civetta engines did...

 

i mean they gotta start somewhere?

 

*more sad sunburst noises*

 

I think you're thinking of mod tracks

 

I also know it as twin-charging. There were a few other companies that used this setup, since it's pretty good at eliminating turbo lag. I think the Ibishu-Lancia connection is pretty weak, and a Japanese rally car with a supercharger sounds a bit strange. But on the other hand, Zenvo made a twin-charged car... And you know what I'm thinking about... (But that would never happen, it's completely ridiculous)

Edit: Whoa totally missed the Covet sketch! That thing is sick! This might be my new favorite car once it reaches the game, if it drives the way it looks. It kind of reminds me of either a Metro 6r4 (Crazy group B machine powered by a V6 if I'm not mistaken)


Or a Peugeot 205 Hillclimb (If I remember correctly, it started as a group B car and after group B was canceled it became a hillclimb car, and had a 1.8 i4 engine based on production variant block, but moved to mid-engine and the whole engine was rebuilt with performance parts)

 

Idk, seeing these massive air vents in front of the rear wheels makes me think there has to be a Twin-Turbo V engine in there! But would be more practical if the 2.7 V6 is longitudinal because it's very difficult to cool down the Twin-Turbos in a transverse mid-engine layout, especially if the said engine is a V and not an Inline.

Nah, these massive air intakes on either side say "Twin-Turbos" all over them! Plus we're talking about an 80s race/rally car, there's almost no chance of it not having at least one turbocharger!

 

and come to think of it, the pessima did get the twin turbos for the v6, but they're not presently used on any factory configs.

 

i wonder if they'll end up trying to remaster 2 cars in the 0.25 update, since it's a "milestone" update

 

Too bad. A V6 GTz Twin-Turbo with the Stage 1 Twin-Turbos and the Heavy Duty Long Block would be great!

 

dafaq?


edit

I'm confused...

 

Probably an hotfix which isn't documented yet.

 

SAME HAPPENING HERE, im confused

 

A near 700mb hotfix? lmao

 

yes it is
