How Much Boost Can A School Bus Take? BeamNG. Drive

[@_hanz73]

I think you could try putting the massive ship turbo on to that bus!

[@blue-jay.gaming3736]

Yes.

[@jackbones8648]

massive turbo on a massive vehicle!

[@Nikgamingnl]

Yes, that is an amazing idea

[@marongbg]

It could be more faster..

[@marongbg]

But great idea!

[@fusnowtiger]

Sounds like it was running into some weird torque converter lockup issues.

[@thomasaly7624]

Does Beamng stimulate torque converter lock up. I know it simulates slip.

[@ryanj116]

@@thomasaly7624 some of the converters are labeled as locking ones, so I imagine so

[@YouVidTuber]

@@thomasaly7624 It fully simulates it Only thing it doesn't simulate is damage from excessive slipping

And even with a blown engine it was a quicker ET than the second run.

[@GalenlevyPhoto]

It’s not a school bus. It’s a transit city bus. Both are very different chassis and engines. Most school buses use smaller diesel engines and generally carry more passengers due to seats are closer gap. It’s not designed for comfort. It’s designed for local use. This is why sometimes schools rent charter buses for long trips.

[@MuscatelTom]

imagine being a passenger on that thing as it does a 14 second 0 to 60? lol

[@goldendlolig8237]

Even 12

[@A_S377]

That auto trans is slipping crazy!

[@tylervest2692]

I think putting a better transmission behind it like a 9 speed would give better results

[@Demonslayer20111]

For real. The way that thing is shifting is annoying

[@halo64654]

You cannnot change the transmission. I've tried myself so many times.

[@anieldelgadomorales5624]

these videos entertain me so much, keep up the good videos

[@RandomizedPalette]

You'd think that the bus would probably spin it's rears if it had a turbo running at 132 PSI. May... oh. It only gave it 989 BHP. That's why.

[@mustangdbest220]

So you think putting it in SPORT MODE would help

[@Drunken_Hamster]

The 3rd and 4th test would be similar to modern big rigs power wise. Also, take the final safe result, then extend the rev range to like 3500-4000 RPM.

[@MelancholicSaiko]

imma be that guy: painting a city bus yellow doesnt make it a school bus

[@CrySonHD]

Yes this is exactly what i NEED to know before going to bed at 3am

[@nepzski]

that first gear rides out like a cvt

[@stevegaspar4089]

This became part of my bus yard lol

[@wertyjax]

It seems like you needed a better converter, but it would have been puling wheelies XD

[@KuntalGhosh]

The issue with onroad vehicles is effectively cooling the engine. In front engine situations like a truck or a front engined bus it is much more easier to fit high hp engine than in rear engine bus. Front engines have the advantage of forced cooling while read engine is totally dependent on how fast the radiator fan can pull air through the radiator. Also the size of radiator is limited. In hot climates it is very easy for rear engine buses to overheat in city driving. Like when volvo and scania first came to india many of their buses had catastrophic engine failure or just straight up catch on fire due to the hot climate averaging at 40c in sunmer and going up to 50c ambient in really hot days. Sweedish engineers had to investigate and after years they made changes in production to solve overheating by reducing engine hp and increasing radiator size and a lot more temperature sensors and automatic fire suppression system. But even then for city applications rear engined buses failed miserably. Rear engines can only be seen on highway going intercity buses where they have much more chance of having time to cool. Fpt has 400hp engine option at 9l size for onhighway application while they have 650hp for marrine application where cooling is almost unlimited and only limited by the effectiveness of heat exchanger and block design.

[@RohanSanjith]

Even front engine buses overheat too, especially town buses, you can see those buses have front grill opened for cooling done by drivers

[@cameroredrocket8768]

thanks for the info, but the problem here was overtorque

[@TheSilverShadow17]

Front engine vehicles aren't better than mid engine or rear engine ones for obvious reasons. Weight distribution is much better on the latter as you do not want excess amounts of mass on the front wheels when turning. Plus mid engine vehicles have more interior space and leg room which is an advantage in itself.

[@BadgerStoatDragon]

how much power would it take to crumple the frame at the start of the launch. how ridiculous would the drivetrain have to be to handle that force. please make a video on this

[@blazbohinc4964]

for D-series it's around 1500nm of torque. The chassis will bend driveshafts will break. Provided you have enough grip. Bus frame won't bend. Rear driving assembly just fails and falls apart. Frame never bends due to excessive power. I've tried

[@South-Central-TX-WX]

i think the next one that you should try is the fs-65, it's great! it has a lot of functions

[@gibco25-offical56]

POV: that’s a city bus 😂

[@Danish67889]

No it is shool bus

[@board7374]

@@Danish67889 It _literally isn't._ Its a city bus. The filename for it is 'citybus'.

[@J1414R]

Yeah aside from that, modern school buses are much faster, without being 100% throttle 100% of the time.

[@MrSnel]

What mod did you use to up the PSI that much? Twin charge everything?

[@ForgottenMustard]

It's the variable boost turbo from the D-Series.

[@thethug335]

I think it should have peaked upto 1500hp because a smaller v8 diesel if can handle around 1000hp why couldn't a 9l diesel

[@HugoCheung_8652]

Probably the crank, this engine is totally stock, except the turbo, so this 9l diesel can’t do too much thing. Give it a full set of upgrade, it can make so much ponies

[@oldtwinsna8347]

This only has a redline of 2200 rpm. Hp is a function of torque and rpm. But a huge engine like this has to be engineered to be able to rev higher without destroying itself. Thus, this would require significant internal work to rev any higher reliably.

[@board7374]

Because its a 6 cylinder.

[@MrIngorodrigues]

1500 rpm 700hp

[@Demonslayer20111]

You need a different transmission. All the power in the world is useless if the tranny slips all the time

[@HugoCheung_8652]

Out of the test range

[@DaBrute]

The trans didn't like that at all

[@Christdeliverme]

The thing that I'm surprised at Beam for is that the power just follows the engine plot not whether or not you've reached full boost.

[@jamescox5654]

It does follow according to the boost curve. Check the black box in top left, it shows flywheel hp/tq accurate to boost level

[@Esus_]

The power chart is just a simulated static dyno run, as James said the flywheel is the live power readings.
