More progress, dirty engine bay

 

Better now?

 

yea !!

 

Looks like a two door I Series

 

Soon...

I need this, is there any development thread?

 

I'm exhausted...

 

Eventually, I should make a simplified traffic variant for it, but I don't think I've got far enough into development yet to investigate that.

At some point, if I can obtain better reference (i.e. scans), I'll remodel the entire vehicle, but my priority right now is a complete JBEAM for all parts reflecting the correct physics definitions.

The Wakefield looks good.

 

Since there is a lack of cooling of the engine bay, plus a more importantly the placement of the intercoolers that causes extreme difficulty in terms of maintenance, along with the lack of catalytic converters, I have decided to do something about it (including adjusted intercooler nodal jbeam and reconnected the intercooler nodes to the engine instead).

- Rearranged intercoolers and redid the piping (shorter pipes = less turbo lag) for easier maintenance and increased reliability
- Connected body vents to engine bay for increased cooling via pipes
- Added catalytic converters model

Sequel with new vented hood to cool the radiator, and lightened seats to increase leg room, plus an alternate rear bumper with a center vent.

 

can't have enough interior color options...

 

Honestly, this looks like it'd get much less air than the vanilla TT setup.

 

Seriously the vanilla TT setup is an absolute maintenance nightmare considering that the unibody replaces the rear quarterpanels, which means if the pipes are leaking or one of the intercoolers are malfunctioning, it would be near impossible to take them out unless you strip the interior to even have a chance to replace them. Also the original vanilla TT setup has zero airflow to the engine bay as well.

Look at this: Hirochi SBR4 | Page 23 | BeamNG

 

It's not that terrible, considering how it looks now you should be able to enter those spaces from the interior.

The way you set it up now the air will just clog in the engine bay. One, the pipe is pretty narrow (try drinking through a 50 cm straw), two the air has nowhere to go after hitting the intercoolers. At best, you'd have no airflow, at worst, you'd create vacuum there (because of air escaping under the engine).

Yes, F40 kinda does this, but the intake vents are much closer to the intercoolers and the rear windshield works as an exit (along with the entire rear end being pretty much a grille).
