I didn't say that roll didn't put extra load on the outside tires, I said roll decreased from total traction. And if I am wrong, I apologize. And pop a link or something this way, please.

this maybe the case on some systems
the im on about has no cams therefore no valve bounce hence higher rpm

Can you show me a link?

Simply removing the pressure acting on the valves won't make them open, you have to direct force in the opposite direction. And you can still have valve bounce/float without using conventional springs.

no link i cant find any info on the net about it



But i will tell u the new engines are using springs to open the valve and gas to close them

I was under the impression that valve bouce was the point in time when the acctuator of the valve lost contact with the cam lobe

in which case an engine with no cam has no valve bounce

i maybe wrong but thats what the impression im under is

Not that it doesnt, but to say it decreases from total traction would highly depend on how much weight transfer the car has inherently, as well as how much traction it needs on both sides of your car, so I suppose it could decrease total traction, or increase it, just depending on your situation.

What is the reliablility going to be like for the engine? I see the Performance ECU and a lot fo other items that coudl be risking the engine's term. How often do you expetc the car to be serviced? Although I have little expertise, I'd say reliabilty woudl be a big thing considering this is a fairly isolated model and if ever built, servicing would be difficult.

There are better cam-changing systems than VTEC... Like i-VTEC or VVTL-i... I still think that 3D cam lobes are the best, though.

Well, I've been working in my new version for 3 days now. Some of you may be disappointed by this news. There is going to be no version 5.

Boohoo..go cry now.

Well, Version 5 was so different from version 4, I decided that it was a different super-car. I'll just say most of you should like it a ton better. I'm trying to finish it in under a week (Imagine that...a whole car design conceptualized and 3D modeled in under a week).

Well, the new car...ummm...no name yet.....so I'll use my classic designation protocol "ZX-3000." I was wanting to name my ZX-1000 "Panther" (something will use that name). The ZX-2000 was the "Predator." The ZX-3000 needs something cooler. Well, lets see how long it takes me to think of a name. 7:12 A.M. on Wednesday right now and I'm about ready to fall asleep.

Assault. I wrote down liek 30 words as fast as I could. Took me a total of 9 minutes to pick the name, but I think I wrote it down about 3 minutes into the process.

So, my current idea is that he car will be called the "Phantom Assault", or the "Assault".


Well, while this works great, I'm trying to think of somethign better. Think a sneaky attack, or stealth, or infultration. Since my company name is Phantom, Phantom Assault works fine....but if anyone thinks of anytign better along these lines, feel free to share.




I'll see how ridiculous this sounds in the morning.

how 'bout advance, charge, incursion, invasion, offensive, onset, onslaught, storm, strike, violation, blitz, raider, strafe, eclipse, executor, blade, spektr, wraith, bober, devastator, destroyer, outrider, infiltrator, darktide.

but my opinion is that you should either creat your own word. or use a group of words to create an acronym that forms a word. (i just watched star wars again so STAP comes to mind Single Trooper Aerial Platform. that of course is just an example.)

I can see you like the tehesarus 9I think)

My list:
Ghost, Predator, Stealth, Attack, Strike, Assault, Pounce, Incursion, Invasion, Infiltration, Spy, Imaginary, Suppress, Sneak, Defiance, Penetrate, Hunter, Storm, Wind, Shock, Electricity, Venom, Slice, Wrath, Annihilate, Demolish, War, Doom, Summon, Wound, Splendor, Aura, Inferno, Fire, Implosion, Vengeance, Sword, Crossbow, Blade, Mystery, Enigma, Cloak, Code, Rouge, Mace, Dragon, Prism, Crystal, Gem, Projectile, Missile, Portal, Frost, Spell, Spider, Paralyze, Invincible

Ones I like most:
Assault, Inferno


So will it be the "Phantom Assault" or "Phantom Inferno" Phantom Inferno has a more complete sense than Phantom Assault, but I can't tell if inferno would sound stupid.

i still really think you should try ot invent your own name or acronym. it would do you much better. variety is the spice of life

Öhlins shockabsorbers and push rods. www.ohlins.com

Engine, an older F1 engine. 3 or 3,5 litre V10 or V12. Strengthen the construction and replace the pneumatic valvesprings with tradiotional ones (this is a must if the engine does not have an internal air supply pump). Reduce maximum RPM to say 12000 rpm and add two turbochargers (with speedsensors). Fit it with a modern electronic management system from TAG or Magneti Marelli. Carbon-carbon on exhaust manifolds and turbinehouses.
Light weight, small, high power output and quit good reliability.
www.tagelectronics.co.uk
www.magnetimarelli.com

NEVER use hotwire on an engine of this type... SPEED DENSITY is the word.

Gearbox, Xtrac or Hewland six speed transverse transaxle sequential gearbox with built in differential.
www.xtrac.com
www.hewland.com

Electrohydraulic acutated carbon-carbon clutch is a must... but expensive, around $10,000.

Brakes, ceramic for low weight. Carbon-carbon on the race version. ABS with an on/off switch.

Radiators in the front. One diffuser in the front and one rear. A big wing shoukd also be used. This wing should be placed so it helps the rear diffusor creating vacuum. The rear end of the car should also not be "cut off", give it a longer tail (look at the later version of McLaren F1).

Oil, normal synthetic oil like Mobil 1. No antifoam addetives are probably needed.

Airfilterbox in carbon fibre, with oiled cotton filter or glassfibre filter.

Air-air intercoolers and tubing, plenum and runners in carbon fibre or high strength aluminium.

The engine is mounted in titanium mounts in the carbonfibre chassi. The rear suspension is mounted on the gearbox. Cr-Mo tubing from chassi to somewhere between gearbox and engine to give extra strength.

ECU that controls the chassi. Connected with engine ECU and a lagger and a digital LCD dash.
