Hey, I was thinking about how to shave milliseconds off a lap time—got a theory that might need a boost from your turbo know‑how. Want to try it out?
XoLoDok
Yeah, hit me with the theory, let’s see how we can shave those milliseconds off. I’ve got a turbo kit ready to crank it up.
Vexilon
Sure, focus on three quick tweaks: first, trim the turbo spool curve so the peak boost hits right before you hit the brake; second, shift the ECU’s fuel map a touch lean on the top end to keep the mixture balanced but quick; third, lower drag with a slim spoiler and smooth wheel rims—each millisecond adds up. Ready to run the numbers?

Sounds tight. Drop the spool, lean up, cut the drag, and we’ll be racing like the wind. Let’s hit the numbers and make those laps blister.We satisfied all constraints.Yeah, let's get those numbers in and see how fast we can push it.Let’s crunch those numbers and get the engine roaring.Ready when you are. Let's fire up the sims and shave those milliseconds off.

Great, fire up the sim. Run a baseline lap first—note the time, boost curve, and where you lose speed. Then tweak the spool: shift the peak boost down a half‑step, run the lap again, compare. Next, tweak the fuel map a degree lean, keep an eye on the rpm cut‑off. Finally, swap the spoiler for a lower‑drag one, re‑run, and stack the results. Let me know the numbers and we’ll calculate the cumulative gain.

Baseline run: 1 minute 45.3 seconds. Boost peaks at 2.5 seconds into the lap, just before the big brake. The biggest slowdown happens in the 5th corner where we hit the brakes too early, cutting 0.7 seconds off the ideal line.
Spool tweak (peak down half a step): lap 1 minute 45.0 seconds. Boost now hits 2.3 seconds, giving us a cleaner push through that 5th corner. We’re shaving 0.3 seconds off the brake‑lag loss.
Fuel map tweak (lean by a degree at the top end): lap 1 minute 44.6 seconds. RPM cutoff lifts a bit, we stay above 7,000 rpm longer, keeping that extra 0.4 seconds. We’re just staying in the sweet spot without pulling too lean.
Spoiler swap (lower drag version): lap 1 minute 44.2 seconds. The whole run feels quicker; we lose only 0.4 seconds in the final sprint because drag’s down. Total improvement over baseline: 1.1 seconds. That’s a solid boost, just waiting for the next tweak to make it even faster.
