Saving credits

[jdawg660]

After reading about making cars go their complete fastest, I think I have found a way to save quite a few of credits in the process. If you read Officer_Kartman's guide, he wants you to Dyno after each part you put on. He may have some alternate reason for this other than getting the Power Rating accurate, but here's a way to skip that tuning and save it for the end while still finding out which part is the best. Officer_Kartman, correct me if there is another reason for tuning after each part.

Set up a proportion to find out what the power rating would be at 100%:

Power rating..........Percentage given
___________ = _______________
.......X..........................100

Obviously you are solving for X, which is the max PR you will get for the part you just put on.

EXAMPLE:
Power Rating: 404 (96.85%)


404........96.5
___ = ____
..X.........100

To solve: Cross multiply (100 X 404)
Then divide this by 96.5

404 X 100 = 40,400
40,400 / 96.5 = 418.65284

So the power rating you would receive with this part added on would be about 419. If you do the same with all the other parts, you will know which puts out more power without tuning.

[Officer_Cartman]

You do have to redyno after each part or upgrade if you want to show up on the car... if you add a part it will mess your dyno up alot. if you add a upgrade it will not show up tilll you dyno.
It is not going to help you to know what your PR would be if your not able to use it.

[Officer_Cartman]

This % will get more messed up the more parts you try. It will never be the same.

[shoot2thrill]

this hurts my brain to think about the way power rating is calculated

a way to test this is do all the math
then find out which parts you think are correct
then add all of them and dyno to see if you get the same power rating you calculated

i am definitely not calculating all of this so someone else can do the honors

[Officer_Cartman]

for this to even remotley have a chance of working you would have to buy a new car each time or dyno back to 100% each time.

Because once you put another part on for another one it will not go back to 100% because it will not start at 100% when it takes a part off.

just put a part on the car then go to classifieds and it will tell you how much pr ur car has from that part without dyno and keep the highest 1 from that catagory

That works well. I did not know that Thanks!

[krazyman06]

wow...i feel outn00bed here...bc i also didn't know this...

[modogg85]

I dont pay attention to PR, or 100% dyno tune unless you are going for WWIII.

[D1STURB3D]

i found that out when i was making parts list to about 30 cars last august, took about 25 minutes per car and my brother rebooted our old computer losing it all, it was bullshit.

same thing here ... dyno is close enough unless your going for WWIII

[jdawg660]

Hmm...so now it's completely pointless now that we all know that.
I still say it would've worked Officer_Kartman...because when you take off the part it will take your percentage way down, and then you would figure it again with the new part on. I'm not gonna argue after that because I'm a noob and your a vet...

[shoot2thrill]

was this Classifieds thing recently fixed? it is only showing my current pr whatever i put on it without dynoing, not at 100%

[D1STURB3D]

look at classifieds before you put anything on. then put something on and recheck the classifieds. only keep the best part in each catagory

[shoot2thrill]

new car

Vehicle: Honda Civic (EF)
Color: Flint Black Metallic
Vehicle Value: $3,400

Power Rating: 106
Handling Rating: 35

Resale value: $2,550


after buying an ecu:

Vehicle: Honda Civic (EF)
Color: Flint Black Metallic
Vehicle Value: $4,350

Power Rating: 94
Handling Rating: 35

Resale value: $2,550


Power Rating: 94 (77.05%)
Handling Rating: 35
Security Stage: 0

i do not think this method works anymore

[D1STURB3D]

yeah i should have kept my mouth shut haha

[Kelly087]

Used to, just whip out the ol calculator and divide by the percentage.

[liGHts_OUt_spEEd]

does pr actually fucking matter now in this game?? or is it still completely useless??

[Hitman666]

completely useless

[Benton08]

Yeah I Worked That One Out...

[D1STURB3D]

for ww3 you need the best parts and it was a good way to add a part without dyno

[QuickAl]

if you are just in you regular car for racing, I only dyno when i first set up the car. after the initial dyno, i never do it again. when you upgrade your car, all you have to do is uninstall your exhaust, then reinstall it. it may not be 100% pr but it saves you the 10 credits from dyno

going for IDE, I don't know. I haven't gone for that in 3 years

[sohc_my_dohc]

jdawg is absolutely right. i've been using this method to tune my cars for IDE and have showed it to several others members. now officer_cartman i see what you mean when you stated that the % changes after you install each part but that doesnt play a factor because the PR changes accordingly. For example, if i installed a Greddy Turbo kit, if you will, and the pr showed as 245 (87.6%), if you were to use the simple cross multiplication formula provided by the OP you would get 279.68 PR. now if you then install another turbo kit, it may show up as 240 ( 80.4 %) giving you 298.5 PR. now you see givin that the 2nd turbo shows a lower PR before calculation, the % is lower accordingly to provide a higher number at 100%. I'm sure i've lost some of you but trust me this will help save you TIME AND CREDITS. If some of you are confused by the simple formula then I can provide a more simpler way of explaning it. FIRST, you take the PR right after the install. THEN, you multiply it by 100. After you have done so, you take that number and divide it by the % that is given. THEN you should have the PR at the parts value at 100%.
