Hey everybody!
I'm thinking about a way to make a working turbocharger for my cars, but i don't have the best idea for it right now. My question is: is there somebody who also tryed/trying this? If yes then feel free to comment maybe we can make it together, or helping each other.
My progress yet: i think the best is use a yaw controrred small jet engine, which builded together with some other parts to make it look like a turbo, then when you shifting up (all my cars uses yaw to move the shifter) then the engine makes a small kick which gives the car a short but powerful speed incrase.
The problems with this: there is no jet engine what have such fast reaction time, i mean the engine won't start when you push the yaw for a second. And when this works, then the turbo needs to be in the center of the engine bay, or it needs to be layed symmetric on the engine's sides... That means it's only gon'na work with twin turbo engines...
So i have this so far, if you have some idea, and you wanna share it with me, then feel free to comment :)
Dew it (star wars reference)
@TakicraftCorporation have you tried a prop engine? I'm testing one in my new engine, except its disguised as a fan cooler.
@TakicraftCorporation unless you can XML an engine to only go one way, and have two engines on different sides of Yaw activation
@Spikerya what if ylu build a VTOL engine inside a turbo and you put a nozzle under the frame. I think if you decrease the VTOL's length then it will react faster.
@Spikerya but in that case if you shift down (press yaw to te opposite way) it will have a brake effect
@TakicraftCorporation try placing another engine with about 50 HP, or try HP/boost ratio matching and add wheels to the bottom of the car that touch the ground slightly and make the engine either go on Yaw or Pitch, so that the engine will run the wheels on the ground when you use Yaw or Pitch?
@Spikerya that's not a problem i have a car with insane downforce ratio
@TakicraftCorporation I have an idea, but the car would need to be very low to the ground...
@Spikerya that's where i got stuck with this project. My XML skills are not good enough to set the engine speed increase ratio. So i don't really know...
@TakicraftCorporation is there a way to XML edit a vtol engine to immediately kick on when yaw is applied or pitch? For instant power instead of gentle increase?
@DemonSniper8 yeah that coul'd be easy i that case
@QuantausAviation i made it so far, thats how my nitrous system works
I wish there was a way to connect two car engines to each other, or to the same wheel. That way you could make one activate later for a turbo effect
im lazy..I know
I dont have a option
my device doesn't like high part count
I just used a jet for the exhaust and set it to ag1 and vtol for turbo
@TakicraftCorporation okay!
@DemonSniper8 if i'll have some struggle with it then i'll contact you for a non-listed stuff
@Reaper9 @DemonSniper8 thanks for the advices. I think i figured out something, i'll build a prototype at the weekend.
@TakicraftCorporation Np
I have done this in some of the cars I've not uploaded. If you want, later I can tag you in an unlisted just to show you what I have done.
You could change
minandmaxengine values to quickly get the maximum power.@EpicPigster1 that's not bad, only problem is then i cannot make it to be one car part, instread i need to make a unique system for each cars... But that cou'ld work thanks.
I guess you could try super powerful VTOL nozzles, they work instantly.
