I’m trying to make a Ford Taurus that is very stable and has a lot of grip so its not drifting and sliding all over the place. I’ve been trying some out that I tinker around with on Forza Lab Calculator but haven’t found any.
If you will post your Build and Car class, You might get several replies for your Taurus.
I’ve used the Forza Tuning Calculator many years.
I owned a 1994 Ford Taurus and liked driving it very much.
Ford Taurus SHO [R3/703] Engine swap to V8DSC - Shelby GT500’10
Everything is STOCK except the following:
Engine and Power upgrade to:
Race Air Filter
Race Camshaft
Race Twin-Screw Supercharger
Race Flywheel
Perform and Handling upgraded to:
Race Brakes
Race Springs and Dampers
Race Front Anti-Roll Bars
Race Rear Anti-Roll Bars
Sport Chassis Reinforcement and Roll Cage
Clutch upgraded to:
Race Clutch
Race Transmission
Race Driveline
Race Differential
Tires and Rims upgraded to:
Race Tire Compound
Upgraded Front Tire Width 285/30R21
Upgraded Rear Tire Width 285/30R21
This is all current as of this post but I keep tweaking some in the tuning and with the upgrades.
I should actually try driving this car before I write, but - unless you have a reason not to (race restriction?) - a rear wheel drive conversion & race weight reduction is where I think I’d begin.
I’ll give you a tune from the Forza 4 Tuning Calculator, but if you race in R3 you could upgrade to more weight reduction and maybe lower the rim height to 19"'s or lower.
Another option is to build to S class PI700.
@DesigningLeek47 I gave it a try and still playing with it.
@EZT TomCat7 You sending the tune on Xbox or here?
Thanks guys for pitching in a hand for the Taurus.
I’ll be racing n a series in little over 2 hours. I will tune the Ford Taurus after that and send you a message on this site.
Although, I will post it here so other people can try the tune and see what they would.
Then I may rebuild it to PI700 and see what happens.
Any special track you are aiming at?
I did an R3 class tune for the Ford Taurus. It’s in my storefront for free. Please check it out and let me know what you think everyone.
Tire pressure:
55 psi Front
53.5 psi Rear
Camber:
Front +4.1
Rear -3.7
Toe:
Front +5
Rear +3.8 to +4.2 based on your comfort level
Caster:
5.5 Degrees of Caster
Drop the ride height an additional .2 inches in the front, example of proper ride height ( Front: 4.2 Rear 4.4) <----This again is an example.
This will help level out the ride under weight transfer when accelerating through a turn.
Hopefully this will give you a basis to tune off of, again, this is a points tune.
