Beta Arsenic Werks: Vivace tuning and OEM+ modifications Beta 3.3.1 [Hot Fix]

​

Hey everyone, long time no see. Thank you all for your patience, I have been bogged down with work since the semester started but I have been working on various improvements over the past month or so. I have also started a "Buy me a coffee" page, so if you have enjoyed using this mod or any of my others and would like to provide support or show any appreciation you can do so at the link below, and I would greatly appreciate it ​

Couple of other notes and house keeping:

Config Pack probably wont be up on the repo page again so here is the link as usual:

As always, if you have any issues or find any bugs, please reach out directly, thank you.

And Now... the update

---

​

Miscilanious fixes and improvements:

• Updated all info on main page
  
• Updated transmission shiftlogic
  • Still a WIP but much improved
• Improved Diesel turbo sound to be less pitchy
• Improved and optimized boost-by-gear for 1.6 tunes
• added a stand to the wrecksy dashboard prop

​

• Changed internal names of both i3 turbos,
  • make sure to reinstall the part on your configs
  • (sorry for the inconvenience, just trying to make everything in the background more unifrom to reduce the chance of duplicates, overwrites, or conflicting mods)
• Half Cage now uses Color number 2 (matches color choice for ambient lighting instead of wheels)

​

• Improvements to all exhausts
  • specifically the straight pipes for the stage 4 kits have a whole new tone. I3 is VERY angry souding, and I5 is louder and more harmonious .
    
  • Normal Arsenic Werks exhausts of both i4 are much angrier and raspy.
    • working on custom model for both exhausts soon.
• Improved radiator model with larger functional fans

​

Larger stuff:


Podfilter Rework

• New version of GRP filter for stage 2 kit (was slightly misshapen before
• Filter heat shield (on all of the Arsenic Werks turbochargers)
  • My first "from scratch" part and I think it turned out really great

​

• Red and Black GRP filter variants for Stage 4 kits
  • select-able in drop down menu, red is the default
• Stage 4 packages now use a CARBON INTAKE PIPE

​

Werks Flywheel

• Lighter than ultra-light flywheel, features shortened shift time and smoother engagement. much better performance without sacrificing drivability

Oval Exhaust tips return!

• Inspired by Audi RS3 tips, these accidentally got added to an update back in December when they were not ready and suffered from texture issues. I removed them on the following update and sorta forgot about them. Now, they're back and fixed!

​

Inverted Strut Bar with Cowl Cover

• Strut bar orientation inverted to better follow lines of the engine bay and allow for better view of carbon intake pipe on stage 4 kits. has higher poly suspension bolts as well.
  
• Added cowl cover to hide the ugly empty space in the back of the engine bay. Not perfect but after 6-7 iterations, I'm relatively satisfied. Still a bit of a WIP

​

Mini Revamp for UE112 Stage 4 package

• Increased redline to 9500rpm
  • Power is up to 715hp
• Straight pipe now sounds insane (as stated above)
• Increased torque limit for use of display nitrous (see below) on the "Eris" SEMA build config in the config pack (link for config pack is above)

​

EUDM Bumpers!

Arsenic Werks now offers a way for foreign markets to get their hands on the European market bumpers.

• Replaced block off plates in front and rear of Arsenic bumper with functional vents, same with the block off plates in the grill behind the DRL in the vanilla parts. Also use a finer grill mesh for better aesthetic appearance and greater view of intercooler models. Also deletes the rear reflectors.

​

​

• Sport bumpers also use new grill mesh, and deleted rear reflectors.

​

Black Mirrors

• Small OEM+ option that took me all of 5 minutes. Matches the black roof and gives a nice alternate option for owners

​

Resized and rebranded Scintilla wheels and Ibishu 10 spokes

​

Cherrier Ataraxia: (18x8), Cherrier Helena: (19x9), Cherrier Rotors: (19x9)

• Felt like there were not a ton of options available that fit the sport model vivace so I made some! Cant take too much credit since all I did was change the scale and add new center caps but still a fun add on.

Trunk Mount Twin 15lb Nitrous Bottles

• In "display" orientation, made for the Eris SEMA config as a functional flex but offers 3 times the capacity of the vanilla nitrous setup and looks awesome. Leaves space in front of rear seats for the passengers you don't have

​

Thats all for now! Next update will likely be posted in similar amount of time as this one. Slowly but surely improving everything I am capable of. Still want to/need to remodel stage 4 turbo, currently have a placeholder installed.
