[quote=”13aceofspades13″ post=78280]what program is this, i am designing a car myself and want too make a 3D model.
it has a special intigrated chassis rollcauge design, special suspension and transmission, and the engine is very special very unconventional, yet very conventional in some ways… its a race car, front engine rear wheel.[/quote]
It is Blender 2.69, but I would recommend you starting with a less complex program first. Yes, blender is easy when you got used to it, but its interface could scare you. I started in a program called Zanoza Modeler, then I moved to blender.
[quote=”13aceofspades13″ post=78281]for a combo charged system what ever boost you are looking too get i guess, if you want four turbos and a supercharger sure… just remember you don’t want too blow head gaskets and burn holes in pistons beacuse there is too much boost and it runs too lean or just too much pressure and blows head gaskets…[/quote]
Yes I’m aware of the overboosting issue. that’s why I’m using huge and dual intercoolers and 2 pre-manifolds. Ah yes, also the five radiators, and two private oil radiators. I’m serious about temperature and pressure management. Well, going back to the manifolds, those will decrease air pressure, and help avoid forcing the turbos if the supercharger is getting in more air than the turbos could deliver during their spinup. I’m also bringing in a small tank of Nitromethane (not really useful, but funny).
about the engine, I had this crazy idea to use the very same valve assembly as on Formula 1 engines. Instead of springs, they use compressed nitrogen. Those valves allow high RPM, and I’m into an idea of pressure-openning valves, so, they will open due to pressure difference between the cylinder and the manifold, or at least for the intake. Well, is just an idea.
Yes, I’m also including the blow-off valves, on both sides of the turbo system (both the exhaust and the intake of the engine)
Thanks for your feedback. B)[quote=”13aceofspades13″ post=78280]what program is this, i am designing a car myself and want too make a 3D model.

Thanks for your feedback. B)yes, to the air box. it is just a tube with the sensor embedded between the air box and the intake manifold. I guess it is standard, looks very similar to most MAF sensors on 1.6 to 2.5 L engines in general.

Oooooohh, man… so, you drained all the transmission fluid (without realyzing that it was red) and then overfilled the engine with oil…? or did you put oil into transmission?
Well either way, it really was a fail… interesting story.
I once changed the air filter on my car (00 Hyundai Elantra) and forgot to connect the MAF sensor. Well, I was cranking and it never started. I was about to call a tow truck and a few friends to help me out, but then I just went under the hood again, just to see if I closed the air box correctly, and looked around saying “hmmm… I see less cables this time… OOOH, WHAT A M**** DUMB I AM…”, then reconnected everything and it started right away.
I also had been driving with a completely trashed tire in the city, like if nothing was happening. Well, I didn’t realize that I had a flat wheel, and I was also driving a bit fast (between stoplights) and only after I felt huge vibrations comming from behind on a really nice tarmac I just stopped and I just can’t stop laughting… I had almost no tire, just the rim was left.Oooooohh, man… so, you drained all the transmission fluid (without realyzing that it was red) and then overfilled the engine with oil…? or did you put oil into transmission?

Aaaah, yeah. the suspension will use exacly the same spring/damper assembly on all four wheels (with different spring pressure for the rear of course) and the same brake pads and rotors.
I just finished some details of the steering, which is electrically assisted (so, no PS pump). the steering rack is extremely easy to access and/or adjust, you don’t even need to lift the vehicle, will be a matter of opening the bonnet, removing a panel and that’s it.
The engine will feature a dry swump system, with an independant external filter (the blue thing on the side picture) which will be standard. The transmission will have an external filter as well.
The only thing that can be complicated is an engine swap, because the transmission acts as part of the chassis, and the engine is caged within, so you will need to literally split the car in half to remove the engine (the chassis is made of 3 cages, the rear cage, the cockpit cage and the front cage, they are held by huge titanuim bolts.
About the hood, yes, it is like any LMP racecar (cite, the mercedes CLK-GTR and the pagani Zonda R) so, when open it will not block anything. It will be removable as well. With the hood open the air filter will be completely exposed.
Another concern will be the wheelsize, those are HUGE. trust me… bigger than lambo’s wheels.interesting…

Anyway, I’m open to ideas, tips or anything you want to contribute with.
I’m expecting this to be an oportunity to explore your ideas, use your imagination and see it transformed into something you can share with the world.

I’m waiting your feedback 🙂My POS is my everyday car. Honduras is famous for being as bad as driving in Russia and the moon at the same time… So, we need a POS, and they are really valuable. Mine has passed through a lot of problems (the forum has a couple of threads about it) so I love it. We passed through a lot of journeys. I love my POS

All that Eric says in this video is so true… even in other technical professions, like mine (Computer technician) and this is something you have to consider.
Knowing how to work is just the half of the pie. You also need how to manage it.
