I need your help

I would like to have a 480 in a game (rFactor). I'm working on the 3d model (I'll post here some pics soon). I have to do almost everything yet, but I'm setting up the physics a bit.
So I need as much info as possible of stock suspension and, if possible, modified ones by volvo and as many manufacturers as possible (bump and rebound travells, bump and rebound bump stiffness, spring stiffness, anti-roll bar stiffness, toe in and caster (if possible in cm).
I need power/torke curves of: 1.7 non turbo and as much modifications (chips, T3, etc) as you can find.
Sounds of all engines (modified and stock ones) are needed too: starting up, medium and high acceleration (in 3th or 4th), idle, mantaining 1000, 1500, 2000, 3000, 4000 and 5000rpm.

I know I'm asking too much but where cand I find this if not here?

If you want to contact with me or chat in messenger my adress is crazivant [@] hotmail.com

Thanks in advance for your help and sorry for my english

Here you've got a pic of the interior. A lot of work to do but it has almost a good shape

I'll try to look for power/torke curves of: 1.7 non turbo and turbo model.
PS. change steering wheel

This one is from 440, in 480 they were different

anyway good job

Unless you had an airbag

Eee I thought about it and airbag sw's arms are more straight.
See an example:
Airbag SW:

non airbag SW:

I hope I made myself clear

You're right, Milosz_480. I'll fix it. Thanks a lot.

Here you've got a pair of pics of the front:

Spoiler, flared arches, big wheels.... looks nice

@Milosz: you're right!

@CrazIvant: wow, that's really getting shape! Wish I could be of more help in this. Am anxious to see the result

Search for RACER on this forum or other posts from me.

Good luck!

Let's post new pics!! I'm working in rims, steering wheel and some more details

Any sounds, power/torque curves, any data about suspension, etc are appreciated

Thanks for your help

looks very promising, is that rfactor as "buggy" as racer or better ?

Cant help you with the info, what sounds do you need might have some time over the weekend

CrazIvant · Post by **CrazIvant** » Thu Mar 22, 2007 1:55 pm

rFactor is better than Racer. Here you've got a pair of videos of volvo 300:

I need the next sounds:

starting up, medium and high acceleration (in 3th or 4th), idle, mantaining 1000, 1500, 2000, 3000, 4000 and 5000rpm, and, if possible, on the rev limit.

Thanks a lot!!

dampers (KONI sport):

front: high speed: bump: 600N
rebound: 900N
low speed: bump: 450N
rebound: 260N

rear: high speed: bump: 550N
rebound: 1450N

Wow it looks fantastic!! Can't wait to see end results!

Anything about anti-sway bar stiffness?

haven't measured it, but I can check for you. Do you need the Force acting on the wheels per degree of bodyroll or would you like the dimensions of the swaybars?
If needed I can also give you the (global) dimensions of the suspension front and rear.

CrazIvant · Post by **CrazIvant** » Mon Mar 26, 2007 2:25 pm

At the momment, the only thing I need is antiroll-bar stiffness in N/mm, diameter and power. I don't know exactly what power means, but it says that:

FrontAntiSwayRate=(1.11e11, 4.0) // (base, power), so rate = base * (diameter in meters ^ power)

I'm reading and learning about suspensions...

The car has now a quite realistic handling I think. As soon as possible, I'll rec a video for you to analyze

Thanks a lot for your help!!

CrazIvant · Post by **CrazIvant** » Tue Mar 27, 2007 6:29 pm

I think it's enough with anti-roll bar diameter.

It would be nice to have caster and front and rear toe-ins in centimeters too (here in the website these values are in degrees).

Thanks again

looking good, must have taken a lot of effort to get it to that stage...

tho i'd hate to break it to you, there is one fatal floor in the model, i'm sorry to tell you, but youve drawn it with the steering wheel on the LHS, unfortunately the only side that you could ever consider steering on is on the RHS, whilst driving on the LHS of the road.

I know it is going to take a lot of effort to change it all, but thought i better tell you now before you think it's almost finished!

Nah nice job nice to see someone putting in the effort
