Flow is the measurement of how much air your engine is pushing through at a time. The higher the flow rating, the more air is being used. The air system of a car must be looked at as a whole. Because of this, you must take every part into consideration when building your system. All the parts work together and can effect the power potential of each other. Flow Synchronizing Air Fuel Ratio Compression Engine Air Needs Different engines will have different air flow needs. It is important to build the air systems to match the engine’s air needs for optimal power output. Other products will effect the engine’s air needs, such as turbos, superchargers, and various engine internals. Be aware that increasing the engine's operating level by increasing its air flow also increases its stress levels. Risk Damage Dyno The right parts for the job More power usually requires more air. Adding products that increase the engines air flow can increase the engines power potential but may not yield immediate power results. Why? The rest of the intake and exhaust system may not match the new air flow needs. This is why careful planing must take place to maximize power gains while building your system. The engines that make the most power will be the ones with the best synchronization. Note: The information on this site is strictly game theory and should not be applied to your real car. Nitto is not responsible for what you do to your own car. FAQ Privacy Policy Terms of Use All manufacturers, cars, names, brands and associated imagery featured in this game are trademarks and/or copyrighted materials of their respective owners. Getting the most power from your engine will require you to perfectly synchronize the entire air system. Synchronizing happens by installing parts that match the air flow needs of your engine. The more closely they match, the more power they will unlock. Size matters Flow Synchronizing Air Fuel Ratio Compression Bigger is not always better. Intake and exhaust parts come in a variety of sizes and manufacturing methods. These attributes are your indications of how well they will match your system’s air flow needs. It will be up to you to find out what products work the best on your system. The catch is, your system can continue to change as you upgrade other areas of your engine. Only the best tuners will master the engine building techniques and produce the most power. Risk Damage Dyno Making the most power Aside from how well a part will synchronize with your engine, some products will have higher power potentials. Picking products that match your systems air needs is still very important, but you will also have to shop around to make sure you have the product with the highest power potential, not just the right size.

FAQ Privacy Policy Terms of Use All manufacturers, cars, names, brands and associated imagery featured in this game are trademarks and/or copyrighted materials of their respective owners. How much air vs. fuel are you burning? The air fuel ratio is an important factor in the power and risk levels of your engine. The air fuel ratio of your engine can be your key to unlock precious extra power or the formula for disaster. Controlling AF ratios Flow Synchronizing Air Fuel Ratio Compression The air fuel ratios for your engine are controlled by the car’s ECU. A factory ECU will maintain safe air fuel ratios whenever possible. ECU products can be purchased to adjust your air fuel ratios. ECU chips are available in a variety of AF ratios settings. Products such as EMS allow you to adjust your AF ratios via a controller. These products and your factory ECU will keep the air fuel levels at the designated setting as long as the fuel system can support the fuel needs. Risk Damage Dyno Fuel System Fuel demands go hand in hand with increased air needs. As your system pushes more and more air it will require more and more fuel. Be sure to monitor your AF ratios with the use of an AF meter to make sure your fuel system is supporting the fuel needs of your system. It is important to plan your fuel system upgrades along with the rest of your engine building. If your fuel system can not support the fuel flow needs your engine will lean out and can be cause for severe engine stress and damage. Rich Rich is a mixture with more fuel than air. This is normally a safer system. Factory ECUs are set to a rich AF ratio. More fuel keeps the engine stress level low but does not maximize power output. Lean A mixture of more air than fuel is called lean. Pushing the AF ratio in this direction can yield more power at a higher risk. The leaner you go the more risk is incurred. There is always point in which the risk of damage will surpass the power gains. Neutral A neutral ratio is an even mix of air and fuel. This is still safe setting for operation and will produce better power than a richer setting. Note: The information on this site is strictly game theory and should not be applied to your real car. Nitto is not responsible for what you do to your own car. FAQ Privacy Policy Terms of Use All manufacturers, cars, names, brands and associated imagery featured in this game are trademarks and/or copyrighted materials of their respective owners. Engine compression levels can positively or negatively affect power. It is important to understand compression and how it works with or against a particular engine system. Compression also has a direct effect on engine stress levels. High Compression Flow Synchronizing Air Fuel Ratio Compression Risk Damage Dyno Higher compression levels typically result in more power but at a higher risk. This is a good way to squeeze more power out of normally aspirated engine. Inversely, higher compressions are not suitable for forced induction systems as they will compound already high risk levels tied to boost. Low Compression Low compression pistons are made for forced induction applications. They are meant to relieve the engine stress that boost causes. Boost is required to compensate for the loss of compression. For this reason, low compressions will result in power losses on normally aspirated engines. Tip Select a compression setting based on your level of boost. Higher boost levels will require lower compression levels. Being accurate will make better power.

Engine risk is a combination of engine stress levels, part durability, and operating levels. The best tuners will learn to manage their risk to get the most power at the right times with out blowing their engine. Operating Level Flow Synchronizing Air Fuel Ratio The engine’s operating level is closely tied to how much damage occurs when something goes wrong. If you have a small safe engine you probably wont break to many parts if something triggers a spike in engine stress. On the other hand, if you are running a maxed-out turbo charged engine, you can expect some significant damage if something goes wrong. The more horsepower you’re making, the higher the stress levels are. Compression Risk Damage Stress Management There are many things that can cause a spike in engine stress and lead to damage.

Damage Dyno Self Diagnosis Like to do it yourself? You can check all the parts on your car in your garage. You can check to see if a part is damaged by selecting it from the menu. This can take time but it can avoid the cost of getting a diagnosis from the repair shop. Damaged parts can be replaced by installing undamaged parts from your spare parts bin or purchasing new parts from the part shop. The drawback is that if any one part of a set is broken you will have to shop for a new entire set on your own. The part shop does not sell parts that come in sets as single items. This can only be done by the repair shop. In most cases it will be cheaper to let the repair shop diagnose the problem and have it fixed with them. Repair Shop Repair shops can diagnose your cars problems and provide you with an itemized list of things that need to be fixed and recommendations. Visiting a repair shop can be very useful because they can warn you of parts with significant wear that may be close to failing. This information could be very important if you are preparing for a big race or tournament event. Different Repair shops will have different pricing for diagnosis and may or may not be able to service your car. Some repair shops in the lower level cities can not diagnose and service cars from higher level cities. Once you get the diagnosis from the repair shop you can select which item you would like the shop to fix. The price of diagnosing the problem is always applied to the cost of fixing it.

Teams with strong members in the right places will go far. Working together Structure There are many checks and balances built in to the teams. Leaders are the most powerful members of a team but even so are not immune to the collective say of the group. All of the different officers and members must learn to work together to form a strong team that can stand against others. Dysfunctional teams will only hurt themselves and their chances of winning when the time comes. Creating Teams Joining Teams Funds Racing The Leader This is the Person responsible for the entire team. The leader can accept or decline membership applications. He or she can appoint or remove dealers as necessary and also has control over the team funds. The leader can make disbursements anyone on the team from the communal team funds, including him or herself. When it comes to being in a race track and betting, the team leader is always the ranking member and has the authority to bet as much of the team funds as necessary. Co-Leader Co-Leaders have all the powers of a Leader except for unassigning co-leaders. They can assign/unassign unlimited dealers, change a dealer's maximum authorized bet amount, accept/decline/kick a member, and disburse team money. Dealers Dealers are appointed by the team leader and are the ranking team members when the leader and owner are not around. They are empowered by the leader to negotiate bets on behalf of the team with up to 50% of the teams money. This allows teams to run races even when the leader can not attend. Dealers will have seniority over each other based on their contribution level to the team. Members Members make up the rest of the team. They have no power like the rest of the officers, but they can still handle a team race in the absence of any team officer. If there are enough members at a track and a challenge presents itself, the member with the largest team ownership will be empowered to negotiate a race. The difference between a member and a dealer doing this is that the member will only be able to negotiate an amount up to the combined ownership value of the members currently present at the track.

The team account Every team has a communal bank account. All team members can deposit and withdraw funds from this account. Its purpose is so that the the team can benefit from the strength of its members. The collective financial power of the team may help everyone grow faster than they would individually. The money can be used to bet in races against other teams and to financially aid members in their growth. Structure Creating Teams Joining Teams Funds Racing Contributions and ownership Any amount of money a member deposits into the team account is considered a contribution and will earn them an ownership share of the team. This allows the member to have a vested stake in the team and also independently withdraw funds from their share. If any member’s contribution level reaches more than 50% percent, that member becomes the team owner. Your percent ownership of the team is relative to the amount contributed by the rest of the team members. This means that your share could go up or down as a result of more members depositing and withdrawing money. Your percent ownership will decrease as more money is infused. Rest assured that this extra money also increases the value of your share so that even though your percentage is lower, the money value remains the same. NOTE: Team Owner cannot own any part of the team no matter how much money they put into the team account. The role of the Team Owner is to manage the money and organize races. Withdrawals Any member of the team can withdraw up to their share of the team funds at any time. For example, if the team has $100 in their team account and member A owns 10%, that member can withdraw up to $10 at any time. If the team should win a race and double their money to $200, that same member can now withdraw up to $20. Team Betting Because every member of the team has access to their share of the team funds, any four members of a team will be able to negotiate a team race with a bet. The catch is they can not bet more than their collective share of the team funds. So, if these four members all own 5% of the team and the team has $100 in the team funds, They can bet up to $20 of the team money. If there is a team dealer present, the dealer will be the ranking team member and be authorized to bet up to 50% of the team funds regardless of everyone’s collective ownership value. The team dealer will also choose the members that will compete if there are more than four members available. Account transaction history The team account transaction history is available to every team member in the funds section of the Team HQ. This is a detailed list of any funds entering or leaving the team along with the name of the member and date. This allows everyone to keep track of the team’s money and any member’s activity related to the team funds.

The anatomy of a tournament H2H Racing How to Drive Running a Race Step 1. Qualifying will open Once qualifying opens, eligible racers will be able to pay the entrance fee and join the tournament. The duration of the qualifying period may vary depending on the tournament so it is important to arrive promptly at the opening time. Step 2. Make your qualifying pass. Once in, you can make your qualifying run. Every racer will have only one chance to make their qualifying run. You have to be ready. There won’t be any second chances. Trying to leave and re-enter the tournament in an attempt to re-qualify won’t work. Don’t waste any time either. If you don’t cross the finish line of your qualifying run by the time the qualifying period ends your run will not be counted. Step 3. Qualifying closes. When the qualifying period ends the ranks will be adjusted one last time. At this point the top 30 qualifiers will be confirmed and the wild card selection will begin. It is important to stay and wait until this process ends if you did not qualify. Two wild cards are selected from all of the participants that did not qualify and let in to the final tournament list. Once the 32 competitors have been selected, the room will close for everyone else and the tournament will begin. Step 4. First round matches. All the first round matches are run at the same time. Your match will be announced to you on your screen and then you will proceed to your race. Once you finish your race you will be able to see the tournament bracket and watch as others finish their first round matches. Step 5. Second round matches and on. Once all the first round matches are finished the tournament will proceed one race at a time. Each race will be broadcast live to everyone in the tournament. Everyone will watch the matches as they are run. This will continue until the final match is run and there is a winner. The tournament is then over. The competitors can then remain in the room to discuss the event if they wish.

This type of racing puts an emphasis on accuracy and consistency instead of sheer speed. Any racer in any car has a chance to win. It comes down to the driver. Dial-in times Race Track Rivals Tracks KOTH Tracks Tournaments Bracket Racing It doesn't matter how fast or slow your car is. Bracket racing is designed to create a fair race regardless of the overall speed of the cars involved. Each racer will choose a dial-in time before the race. The dial-in time is the racer's estimate of what his or her elapsed time will be. The difference between the two racer's dial-in times will be the head start time the slower car will receive. According to this method, both racers should reach the finish line at exactly the same time if they both ran a perfect race. Breaking out If either racer runs an ET faster than their dial-in time it will result in a disqualification. This is called a break out. If both racers break out then the winner will be the racer who ran closer to their dial-in time. H2H Racing How to Drive Running a Race Sand bagging Some racers may consider posting a slower dial-in time than they are capable of in order to reduce the amount of head start given to their opponent. This is called sand bagging. There is technically no advantage in this technique since you can not run faster than your dial-in time anyway. The importance of reaction time Even though your ET is the only number compared to your dial-in to check for a break out, your reaction time (RT) is still a very important part of the equation. This is the amount of time it takes a racer to leave the start after a green light. Since the elapsed time doesn’t start ticking until you leave the line, your reaction time can be your biggest disadvantage. The longer it takes for your to react the less time you’ve left yourself to reach the finish before your opponent without breaking out. Who won? Bracket races can be confusing at times. Here is the easy way to figure out who the winner is. Step 1. Did anyone break out? If no, proceed to step 4. If yes, go to step 2. Step 2. If both racers broke out go to step 3. If only one racer broke out the racer that did not break out is the winner. Step 3. When both racers break out the winner is the racer with the ET closest to their Dial-in. Step 4. If neither racer broke out, the winner is the racer with the lowest time after adding their RT and ET.

Know the controls Driving in 1320 Legends can be a little tricky. There is no steering. You don’t need it since you’re only going straight. It all revolves around your pedal work and shifting. Maintaining your traction during a launch will be the key to good ETs. Understanding all the controls will help you mater launching and running good times. The Pedals Clutch Race Track Rivals Tracks KOTH Tracks Tournaments The clutch pedal is located on the far left. This is a pedal you only have to set once before the race. It will determine how fast you want the clutch pedal released on your launch. A high setting will give you a quick and harsh clutch release. A low setting will provide a smoother but slower clutch release. Your best setting for low times and good traction will depend on your horsepower and driving style. Bracket Racing Brake H2H Racing The brake is all on or all off. Press and hold the brake pedal to slow your car down and stop. Use the brake to stage accurately and to slow your car down in a bracket race if you’re going too fast. How to Drive Running a Race Accelerator This is an analog pedal. Dragging the slider inside the pedal will give you varying amounts of gas. This allows you to control your car with great accuracy. Dragging the slider half way will give you 50% throttle. Drag the slider all the way up to floor it. Shifting Use the arrow keys to shift up and down through the gears. Press and release the up arrow to shift up one gear. Press and release the down arrow to shift down one gear. The car starts in neutral. Pressing the up arrow from neutral will shift the car into first gear. Pressing the down arrow from neutral will shift the car into reverse. Your gauges Your gauges will appear on the left or right of your screen to correspond with the lane you are driving in. Pay close attention to these. Taking your eye away for too long could spell disaster. Tachometer - This will tell you what your engine RPM is. Digital Speedometer- This provides you with a digital display of your speed in mile per hour. Nitrous Gauge - This gauges will let you know how much nitrous you have left in your tank. Boost Pressure - This gauges reads your boost pressure in PSI. Gear - This displays the gear you are in. It will show and "N" for neutral and an "R" for reverse. FAQ Privacy Policy Terms of Use Step 1. Set your clutch First things first, set your clutch engagement. Using the clutch pedal (the leftmost pedal), click and drag to set the clutch engagement. A setting at or near the bottom of the pedal will result in a soft clutch engagement (more slip) as you launch, allowing you to launch with more power without spinning your tires. A higher setting will result in a quicker clutch engagement that will allow you to more quickly get power to the ground, but may result in more tire spin than desired if you launch with too much power. The trick is to find a good combination of clutch engagement and launch RPM for each vehicle and modification level. Race Track Rivals Tracks KOTH Tracks Tournaments Bracket Racing H2H Racing How to Drive Running a Race Step 2. Stage your car To stage, first shift your car into first gear by hitting the up arrow key on your keyboard. Then slowly hit the gas. You hit the gas by clicking and dragging on the gas pedal with your mouse. If you click at or near the bottom, you will barely give the car any gas. If you click at or near the top of the pedal, you will be using the maximum amount of gas (full throttle). Don’t worry; you don’t have to buy your own gas. As your car begins to move forward, keep an eye on your progress using staging meter on the left hand side of your screen. Your car is represented by a triangle indicator. As you move forward, you will notice that this indicator moves as well. Your goal is to move the indicator into the green area on the staging meter. Once your car is close to where you want it, you should shift back to neutral using the down arrow key, and apply the brake to bring your car to a stop. If you overshoot the staging area, you can shift your car into reverse by pressing and releasing the down arrow again (if you are already in neutral). Once your car is completely in the staging area, the both staging lights in the middle of the screen will turn on to let you know you are successfully staged. Step 3. Launching It’s time to race! Now that you have staged the tree will activate and you will have to be ready to go when that green light turns on. While waiting for the light to turn green, hold your engine RPM at a certain level to get a good launch when you drop it into gear on green. Be careful though, if you launch too high in the RPM range, you will spin your tires and run a poor time. The trick is to find the right RPM for your vehicle (and modification level) that gives you just the right amount of wheel spin to get down the track as fast as possible. This will take some practice. Once the last light turns green, you should start down the track as soon as possible. The time it takes you to leave the starting line after the last light turns green is your reaction time. The game uses an amateur tree, which means the best reaction time you can get without fouling is 0.500 seconds. If your reaction time is less than 0.500 seconds, this will be considered a foul or "red light". Step 4. Getting down the track Your final task is to get your car all the way down the track, past the finish line. Once you have launched, you shift the gears by pressing and releasing the up arrow on your keyboard for an up shift (higher gear), and the down arrow on your keyboard for a down shift (lower gear). If everything goes well, you should never need to downshift during the race. With most cars, it is best to shift as the engine RPM approaches redline. Your engine RPM is displayed both on your car’s dashboard, as well as on the virtual tachometer superimposed over the race screen. The time it takes for you to cross the finish line from the starting line is your elapsed time, or ET. After a lot of practice, you should be able to run fairly consistent elapsed times for a given vehicle and modification level. At the end of your three runs, your reaction times and elapsed times are averaged, then added together to get your average total race time. This number is used to determine your standing against other players. Your street credit level shows how you stack up. Money and cars are one thing, but you can’t buy respect. You have to earn your recognition and your titles. The more street credit you earn, the higher your level goes, and the more you distinguish yourself from the rest. Stages and Levels Every street credit level consists of four stages. Your stage will go up as you accumulate more street credit. Once you have passed four stages, your indicator color will change and you will advance to the next street credit level. The amount of street credit necessary to reach a new stage will vary depending on the levels. Levels Racing Crowd Effects Badges Your first step Everyone starts the game with 0 street credit. You are new and have to prove yourself. This first level is a special stage, Stage 0. Once you earn enough street credit to reach stage 1 you enter the first real street credit level and you move up from the short but embarrassing first level of the game.

Street credit is won and lost on the track. Racers spend hours and sometimes days preparing their car for battle. They know that every race counts. When you show up to the track, you better be ready. Winning and losing street credit Most of the street credit you receive from a win is taken away from the opponent you beat. Because of this, your street credit is always at stake. Regardless of how much money you decide to bet your reputation is always on the line. The amount of street credit at stake is based on a variety of factors such as your opponents level, number of people watching your race, your bet, and the amount of booing or cheering you get. Levels Racing Crowd Effects Badges Matching up The amount of street credit you stand to win or lose is based on the difference between your level and your opponent’s. If you face off against an opponent with a much higher street credit level, you are the underdog. Based on your street credit, your opponent should beat you. Because of this, you stand to win more than your opponent would. You can not afford to lose to lower level racers.

Beating beginners in private matches won’t help your standing in the rest of the racer community. Earning recognition on the streets only happens if someone sees you win. Everyone is watching The amount of people watching your race has a big effect on the amount of street credit you could stand to win or lose. If nobody is around to see you win then you don’t get much credit for it. On the other hand, if you manage to beat your opponent with the pressure of a huge crowd looking on, then you just just earned yourself a good chunk of street credit. Losing in front of everyone has a similar negative effect on your street credit. It’s best to not be the loser when everyone is watching. Levels Racing Crowd Effects Badges Crowd Favorite? Getting the crowd on your side is always a safe bet. Cheers in your favor can reduce the amount of street credit you stand to lose if you should fail. The extra cheering also generates some more street credit if you can pull off the win. Where's the love? If the people don’t think you belong on the track, they’ll let you know! Getting booed can not only get in your head it puts your street credit at risk! A hostile crowd will increase the amount of street credit you stand to lose. But there is hope. You can throw all that booing back in the crowd’s face and turn that potential street credit loss into your gain if you win. Prove yourself and take your rewards. Raise the stakes You can’t buy street credit, but the amount of money you put on a race will effect the amount of street credit you stand to win or lose. The more you wager the more street credit is at stake. There is a lot of pride that goes along with racing for pinks. You can be sure that losing your car in a race will ruin your street credit.
