ok I checked, power limiter is in as well..
so @
Griffith500 's law:
CurrentHp = stockBrandNewHp * oilFactor * engineFactor * mileageFactor
becomes:
CurrentHp = stockBrandNewHp * HPoilFactor * HPengineFactor * HPmileageFactor *
HPPowerlimiterFactor * HPEnginestageTuningFactor * HPComputerChipFactor * HPExhaustFactor * HPManifoldFactor * HPCatalyticConverterFactor * HPIntakeTuningFactor * HPTurboKitFactor
(Nitrous Oxide acts temporarily and will not affect Current HP data)
The above formula applies to Torque as well:
CurrentTorque = stockBrandNewTorque * TorqueOilFactor * TorqueEngineFactor * TorqueMileageFactor *
TorquePowerlimiterFactor * TorqueEngineStageTuningFactor * TorqueComputerChipFactor * TorqueExhaustFactor * TorqueManifoldFactor * TorqueCatalyticConverterFactor * TorqueIntakeTuningFactor * TorqueTurboKitFactor
(Nitrous Oxide acts temporarily and will not affect Current Torque data)
Torque factors are probably different than HP factors, that's is certainly true for the power tuning factors as we know,
e.g. a given tuning item will have a different influence on Power than on Torque, sometimes a tuning item has no influence on Torque at all )
but i suspect oil Hp factors being very-very close to oil Torque factors... could they be the same?
I experimented both on a used and new Lamborghini Diablo, and my findings suggest the above, though further testing needs to be done.
so on a stock new car (100% limiter) :
564PP - 630BHP - 64,7kgfm did an oil change and got:
571PP - 661BHP - 68kgfm that's a boost of:
5PP - 31BHP - 3,3kgfm.
that is 4,92063% increase in HP and 5,10045% increase in Torque. (as we all know PD's favorite number is 5...)
did the same experiment with the same stock new car at 50% limiter:
475PP - 314BHP - 56,3kgfm did an oil change and got:
482PP - 330BHP - 59,1kgfm that's a boost of:
7PP - 16BHP - 2,8kgfm.
that is 5,09554% increase in HP and 4,97336% increase in Torque. (that again is practically 5%, however pp gain is 7..)
that's weird . in the first experiment there is a PP gain of 0,88652%. In the second experiment that gain is 1,47368% ., That's almost double in the second one...The only thing changed is the power limiter. This needs further investigation..
anyway,
did another experiment with a used car that had some power boost left from a previous oil change,
with 100%limiter, all power improvements, full ballast @50 position, no weight reduction:
620PP - 1018BHP - 92kgfm did an oil change and got:
625PP - 1057BHP - 95,5kgfm that's a boost of:
5PP - 39BHP - 3,5kgfm
that's 3,83104% increase in HP and 3,80435% increase in Torque.. (awfully close numbers... however, 5 is still the PP gain)
this also shows that there was a residual 1,2% boost both in HP and Torque left in the engine from a previous oil change. It also shows that both HP and Torque boost aged and dropped together...
Further experimenting is needed to see if engine wear and mileage have the same effect in HP and Torque..
I only wished @
Hastatus kept notes on torque as well during his lengthy tests..
You will ask why did I throw in ballast, ballast position and weight reduction in the game in the last test? They don't affect power or torque. They only affect PP. I did that to see how the PP gain behaves. This is another story, and needs more experimentation.
I did more experiments as the ones above and all of them give very very very close numbers for HP and Torque...
now I need to check on different cars, to cement the above findings.
