[QUOTE=Zzz...Zzz;3203575]We have done a lot of engine simulations the last couple of years, and compared them to eral life dyno runs afterwards, and it is amazing how accurate the sim and reality is.
Saves us for a lot of time when in the dyno.

Here is the first simulation we did on the engine platform i use now, basicly this is a very mildly reworked 4.6 liter engine, runing 2 bar boost with std. cams.

The engine going into the granada is a heavilly reworked unit, with nothing even close to standard.

So, his test engine, which has standard cams is making 1350bhp in the simulator?

Rear push rod coil over frame :



Test fitted :



Ingar "posing" in front!



Intercooler 1st version



Intercooler modded, we moved it further backwards for various reasons..:





The trunk with fuel cell aprox what it will look like :



Std.cobra rear lower arms :



New tubular ones in chromly steel , we saved 24kg(!) unsprung weight in total..
