Hey guys! Sorry for the late post (7pm in good ol' Canada right now). I figured better late then never!! Im really excited to test my semi Vs the awesome one Canadian Steel made!! Had to reupload, because i messed up editing it lol! Should be ok now!
silly tip for diesel engine look-a-like: - go for super leaded (98 RON) - lower the cam profile - the larger the stroke, the better - lower the RPM, because torque is more important lol well maybe that would help a bit :)
@@thejafuu5001 you need the diesel smoke right? you should go for 98 octane for the smoke, but you can also go for 100 octane with rich mixture so you can imitate the smoke
@@lucybaars4460 diesel fuel has more compression ratio than gasoline fuel, that's why to imitate the diesel engine you should go for 98 leaded or higher to simulate the diesel fuel. CMIIW
A Peterbilt 389 produces 600 horsepower and 2050 lb-ft of torque. 600 hp and 1000 lb-ft for a petrol engine is sublime. Then again, the Cummins ISX15 redlines at 2200 rpm, not 5000 rpm like this, so with gearing equivalent this one makes about 2272 lb-ft assuming 100% drivetrain efficiency, so with 20% drivetrain losses at such steep gearing it would make an equivalent to around 1818 lb-ft. Its good. And visually it looks like a good, reliable semi truck. Its a modern long-nose design and preferable in larger nations with longer roads. Cabovers are used in Europe because small roads and tight cities mean a long-nose won't fit. In America and Canada we got wide roads and long highways where the far more aerodynamic long-nose trucks are best used.
@@DeefBass yeah doesn't make much sense. What's sad is you know theres very little research because Dyno graphs for trucks are always available on manufacturer's website so it's easy to get a good idea of what to go for!
First time ever do I see semi-truck mod in Automation :D Though it does make me sad to see an inaccurately made engine. 1. Lower the revs to the lowest setting. 2. Increase the boost. Rough estimate you could go for if you're going for a 90's truck is 360hp and 1,800Nm. Hp beginning would be typically at 1,700 rpm or so. The torque would typically begin at 1,000 rpm. The redline is typically 2,100 rpm (though for smaller engines it can be ~2,500-3,000 rpm). 3. Don't forget the some trucks use V8's. 4. Don't lower the fuel economy on the engine itself where possible, truck engines are far more efficient than car engines, so as to compensate for that extra size. For reference, a petrol muscle car of 4-6 liters (from the older years) could have eaten as much petrol, as a modern diesel truck eats diesel which weighs like 4-5 times more and has a 2-3 times as big of a displacement engine. I'm excited to see more of this stuff however! :D
@@cocainecowboy_ it's just a wheel cosmetic option... he just has to choose a different wheel that looks the same. I use it all the time for my heavy trucks
I have an idea for a car you could make in some episode. Basically, take a van & tune it to look like from 'Pimp My Ride', so you know, pink/purple paint, chrome wheels, flames on the sides etc.
Actualy the cab is based from the scania 360T Edit: the T is not for turbo scania used for the type of work is rated the truck there is the: G, C, R, S, T
cmon man it's a semi truck not a pickup

No u kept on saying pickup truck u had so many times to say semi truck
Or ateast edit the word on when u say pickup truck pls fix it

And an AFR of 15
So to imitate a superlow octane fuel (10-15ron) you have to go with high octane??
super leaded? why? shouldn't 100 octane be better?

Drinking game: Have a shot every time he says "pick-up truck."
When heshould just say "truck"
He had so many times to fix it to so truck at least
I haven't started the video, and have a beer in hand, will lyk how this goes

Now imagine Automotive Flux coming out of the nowhere
Bugo semi truck
@@josephnovak1315 stop this is cursed
Watch out!
@@automotiveflux oh god it's coming
@@socialist_elmo The Bugo engine powered semi truck?
Hope it's got low range :D
The models are both Scania. Longnose is a Scania T series and the shortnose an R series.
Was going to say the same. Also, RPM limit...

Google "Scania T series" It uses the EXACT body that you use i this video, just wanted to point it out

just a nitpick but the wheels only have 4 lugs. There is an 8lug wheel that looks more like a semi. Love ur vids!
He cant change that

Unrealistic, should've had a 69 speed manual
If only I had a PC to play Automation. THEN I CAN BUILD SCANIAS!
Straight six engines are more of a Cummins design. Detroit actually favored a V8 diesel for a long while. Otherwise, amazing as always man
Ahh yes, i see now loads of semis used V8 diesels. Maybe i need to make another semi soon :P
I like his truck better but yours has a better headlights and is more detailed
This video will be interesting lol
The body your truck is using is from a scania T model. Used mostly as a dumper truck for gravel and alike materials. Overall a very nice truck!
Was introduced in the 80s I believe with the 4 series
I made a European flat nose truck with a Big ass V10 and it is a speed demon but i really do wish i could have made the gearing longer
Most stuff like brakes, suspension, power steering on trucks like that is pneumatic, so closest thing in game is hydraulic I guess ;)
Actualy the cab is based from the scania 360T
Edit: the T is not for turbo scania used for the type of work is rated the truck there is the: G, C, R, S, T
You should make this have a 90 km/h speed limiter because it's an EU truck and there every truck has to have a speed limiter.
take a shot every time he says pickup truck
my semi only have 4 and 5gears but not 6, how do you do that?
Why he setting for top speed on about 180 km/h(112 mph)?
It then semi truck is top speed on 120~140 km/h(75 mph~87 mph)!!
Why you took it down before?
I messed up when editing and forgot to add about 4 minutes of the video in! It should be ok now!
a little bit low? its about 2000 lb ft off from a semi truck
Most semis around this time were around the 1000ln ft mark. Many under. Even brand new semis are around 1-2000lb ft!
Cheers!
I see, reuploaded video
First
Please stop calling it a pickup truck it hurts
The cringe was real for me too xD
I won't make that mistake again lmao
