TorqueKings puts you behind the wheel of the ultimate drag racing experience. Build your dream car, tune every component to perfection, and race real players head-to-head in live 1v1 online matches. RACE FRIENDS 1v1 Challenge any player to a live race. Pick the distance, race for an in-game cash reward, and settle it on the strip. Accept incoming challenges or send your own. DEEP CAR BUILDING Start stock and transform your car into a monster. Install performance parts across 12 categories — intake, exhaust, turbo, intercooler, engine internals, fuel, ECU, drivetrain, suspension, brakes, tires, and weight reduction. PRO TUNING Take full control. Dial in your ignition map, fuel map, boost pressure, rev limiter, launch control, gear ratios, suspension height, damping, and camber. Save multiple presets and switch setups on the fly. DYNO TEST After every build, hit the dyno to measure real peak HP, peak torque, and 0-100 estimates. See exactly what your modifications are doing. ENGINE SHOP & SWAPS Browse the engine shop for a new heart. Buy an engine, store it in your depot, then swap it into your car when you're ready. Each engine has its own performance ceiling and tuning potential. SERVICE & CONDITION Every race puts wear on your car. Monitor condition and pick from four service options — from an oil change to a full factory overhaul. Forged internals slow condition loss so you race more. DAILY MISSIONS & STREAKS Complete daily missions for bonus cash. Keep your streak alive for extra rewards. Missions range from dyno tests to engine swaps. LEADERBOARD Climb the global leaderboard and prove your build is the fastest on the strip. TorqueKings rewards real knowledge — the driver who understands their car, tunes it right, and races smart wins. Build. Tune. Race. Repeat.

Read full description

Engine Simulator is a physics-based piston engine sandbox. The sound and motion come from a real rigid body simulation of the crank, pistons, valves, and combustion, not recordings. Start an engine, work the throttle, and tune its fuel and ignition maps in the ECU. Build one from scratch (layout, bore, stroke, cam, firing order) or describe what you want and have it generated on device. Watch it run in 3D, read live power and torque on the dyno, or push it past the limiter until it breaks. Post your engines to the global leaderboard and compare against other builders. Engine Simulator for iOS is an unofficial port. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or supported by AngeTheGreat (Ange Yaghi), the creator of the original open source Engine Simulator.
