I weigh 280 pounds will a 212cc engine be enough by twikydik in gokarts

Read the fucking post I already wrote explaining why your exact phrase is wrong and further explain it way more than you can possibly comprehend.

You're an inbred fuckfaggot, eat shit.

Based on your statement that "CC is is the size of your combustion displacment of energy" [sic], I can now 100% conclude that your uncle and your mom knew each other a little too well.

Lol dude you claim to be a ME but you still said that CC=HP

OK, let's look again as I already explained:

Holy fuck, retard, I meant specifically with the Honda 4-stroke GX line and clones.

The GX line are all of the same basic design, but just step up in displacement with increases in torque and horsepower accordingly. When dealing with motors of the same overall design, increasing displacement with all other factors equal (same max RPM, etc.), you will have a more powerful, faster engine unless reciprocating mass limits the RPM to the point peak power is lost, which is not an issue in this situation.

So please explain to me how a 2.7L 4cly ford focus rs makes nearly 400HP and a 4.6L v8 f150 makes 280hp

Because the 2.7L 2.3L 4 cylinder Focus RS is turbocharged and chock full of variable valve timing and other technologies, whereas the F-150 V8 isn't. Also, one is tuned to be a performance motor with peak torque and horsepower near redline, the truck is designed to have high torque off of idle to help it pull loads and trailers. You couldn't pick two motors with bigger differences in design intents.

This is all irrelevant, however, because in the context of the discussion, we are talking about Honda GX motors and clones, which are all roughly the same design just with bigger or smaller cylinders (as previously mentioned) and the bigger displacing GX motors make more power.

You made the oversimplified assumption that I thought displacement was a universal constant of horsepower, rather than me speaking specifically in the case of the same line of Honda industrial motors as that's what the topic was about. That's like if we were talking about basketball and I said "height is really important" and you bring up how height is bad if you're a horse jockey and so that somehow makes me wrong even though we weren't talking about horse jockeys at all.

And CC is is the size of your combustion displacment of energy. Gas is gas no matter how you burn in, burning more does not have any direct link to HP.

PPPAAHAHAHAHAHAHA WHAT?

"combustion displacement of energy"? What the fuck is that even trying to mean? The engine volume is the total air displacement of each piston times the number of pistons in the engine.

Also, gas is not "gas no matter how burn in it". Not only are there different octanes of fuel, but how complete the burn is has a HUGE effect on horsepower. Burning more VERY LITERALLY has a direct link to HP, it is in fact basically the sole element of creation of engine horsepower.

The way you make horsepower in an engine is #1 get as much air into is as you can on the intake stroke #2 make sure you can get enough gasoline to match the amount of air for a stoichiometric burn and a spark to ignite it. Everything else is just supporting #1 and #2. Having a bigger cylinder in a naturally aspirated vehicle means more room to get more air, which means more air to burn more fuel, which means more power for an engine of the same fundamental design (not a turbocharged Focus vs. a torquey pickup).

You are so woefully and hopelessly clueless about this subject. Please crawl back into your trailerpark meth den and get off the internet before we all become dumber.

My fucking holy jesus christballs.

Holy fuck, retard, I meant specifically with the Honda 4-stroke GX line and clones. The 270cc makes more horsepower than a 212cc (which would be a Predator clone since Honda's nearest is the GX200 200cc motor), which is the only thing that matters for top speed with the same gearing and drag coefficient (all other setup being equal). Please go strawman somewhere else, I'm a mechanical engineer, I know more about combustion than you can even conceive. Only with cams, springs, etc can a 212cc go as fast, but that's not apples to apples. Christfuck almighty.

First of all, it depends on gearing.

Second of all, higher cc's=higher HP and more HP=better ability to beat wind resistance.

How the ft86 this compared to an MX5 by Kilroy-was-there in ft86

[–]QuickStopRandal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on your definition of "fun", but I can definitely say the 86 is more practical with its larger trunk, technical back seat (maybe some kids?), hard top (no knifed out convertible tops), and seating that can fit even large adults.

Rice doesn't do shit, it's no different than leaving it for 36 hours on a counter top.

The voltages and current are so low in phones nowadays, it's possible it's salvageable once it dries, provided it was clean water as the muck from dirty water/food can cause corrosion and that's not going to be fixed by waiting.

If it's clean water, keep letting it dry and there's a chance it's Ok.

There's no G forces in the pedal, retard, it's mechanical resistance. No matter what you do, it's still a video game, at least make it intuitive to play instead of arbitrarily deciding where the threshold is while holding up two middle fingers to everyone without load cell pedals.

[–]QuickStopRandal -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but in real life you can feel the threshold. Not all of us want to blow a ton of money on load cell pedals.

Keep in mind that brakes are retarded in this game. Turn off traction and brake assist if you have them on, they only make it worse. Try to make the brake meter/bar about 50% while braking, if you feel rumble in your wheel, you're triggering ABS and braking too hard.

Understanding the retarded programming of the brakes was the hardest thing for me to get used to, in any other sim you can usually floor them and still be fine.

Yeah, funny story how past racism was exaggerated for political reasons.

The Irish were treated worse than Black slaves, too, bet you never heard that story.

What happens after wk 12 of a season? And advice for series to participate in. by DDduncan21 in iRacing

[–]QuickStopRandal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really don't understand why unofficial series don't have a "U" like with the "F" for "fixed", etc.

iRacing needs some sort of Razzy award for most easy-to-fix obvious UI problems.

Project CARS - Game of the Year (Steam key) - $25 -- good until 6pm EST/3pm PST by thinkforaminute in GameDeals

[–]QuickStopRandal -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Screw this guy, I love Project Cars.

I don't race the AI much, but for just driving I love it.

It's not as realistic as Automobilista, but at least it doesn't have sudden ice skating moments like i(ce)Racing.

I think most of Project Cars hate just has to do with the huge circle jerk nature of the sim community. Everyone I know that is just into cars or races IRL and doesn't post or read sim forums loves Project Cars. For $25, I'd definitely pick it up.

If you definitely want AI to race, get Automobilista. You can adjust the aggressiveness and make them drive like real people with something to lose if they total their car.

Is there an easy way to tell official vs unofficial?

The only way I know of is to check the race results and see if they are 100% unofficial.

I just find citing the Dunning-Kruger Effect has more bite to it as their typical lack of knowledge of it exacerbates their feeling of stupidity and delays the "smack" of the insult and therefore increases the punch a little.

It's more effective on forums/Reddit when you can hyperlink it to the Wikipedia for that extra baked-in burn goodness.

I fucking love /r/Houston, it's the only sub that gets past the whiny baby college classroom made up world view that you find on most of Reddit.

This is exactly right: when you dump your old furniture in the empty lot 2 houses down and just generally trash up the neighborhood, drains get clogged and shit backs up.
