In 1924, Matthews and Gardiner, working For the seven tapered runners, the length of the taper with a one-cylinder diesel engine, found that the engine varied from 25% to 100% of the overall length of the test would not start unless the compression pressure was piece, and the taper area ratios (TAR) varied from 1.5 - increased.

For the pipe compared to no inlet pipe. The study was purely bellmouth runners, Ri/D > 0.20 was found to be most experimental and did not attempt to explain the reason beneficial to volumetric efficiency, and a TAR larger than for the increase in pressure. 1.5 was detrimental to the intake tuning for higher-speed tuning peaks. Morse et al. (1938) developed a simple method of intake tuning prediction, assuming linear, acoustic INTRODUCTION behavior in the intake duct. This method suggests that the quasi-standing wave (QSW) developed in the intake Whether the motivating factor is more power or pipe when the intake valves are closed dictates intake better fuel economy, several techniques have been tuning. It was found that when the ratio q of pipe employed throughout the years to improve the IC frequency ( = c/4Ɛ) to engine frequency ( = RPM/120) engine.

I am sure even the engineers who have stood by the two-stroke principle for so long find it staggering that this mechanically simple device can produce as much power as it does today, with relative reliability. Originally, I looked upon two-stroke engines with contempt. They made a horrible ring-ding noise, nothing like the beautiful note of four-stroke racing engines. They emitted a blue haze from their tailpipes too, which appeared unsightly, long before any of us heard of the word pollution. On hot days these engines seized with monotonous regularity. Difficult starting, flooding and plug fouling seemed the order of the day. Consequently I wrote off two-strokes, convinced I would never lower myself to develop one of these unreliable little beasts in my workshop. But that all changed when two of my friends bought themselves 250cc Bultaco Pursang motocross bikes and insisted I prepared them.

  • Engine Optimisation and Performance Characteristics for a Formula SAE Race Car
    University of Southern Queensland Faculty of Engineering and Surveying Engine Optimisation and Performance Characteristics for a Formula SAE Race Car A dissertation submitted by Melinda Rachel Plank in fulfilment of the requirements of Courses ENG4111 and 4112 Research Project towards the degree of Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) Submitted: October, 2005 i Abstract This dissertation documents an investigation into determining methods of achieving optimised engine performance. Designs for improved intake and exhaust systems are also presented, and have formed an important focus of the project overall. Methods for modifying a dynamometer and results of engine testing using this equipment comprise another important aspect of this dissertation. Optimisation of engine performance in this case was required for a specific application. Therefore, preliminary research involved identifying specific engine performance requirements in the application of Formula SAE, together with determining full specification of engine characteristics for a 1994 Yamaha YZF600 engine. The most crucial aspects of engine operation requiring improved performance were identified, to determine directions for pursuing modifications to existing components. As a result, custom intake and exhaust systems have been designed for use on the YZF600, according to the relevant fundamental engineering principles and empirical correlations. A mechanism for determining engine operating characteristics and quantifying and comparing engine performance also formed an integral component of this project. Research into potential dynamometer options was carried out to determine the most suitable option to be modified for use in Formula SAE engine testing. Modification of this dynamometer enabled determination of benchmark performance characteristics; however, attempts to test the 2004 inlet manifold indicated that the dynamometer itself was not suitable for determining the performance of an engine in this configuration.

  • Intake Manifold Design for an Air Restricted Engine
    INTAKE MANIFOLD DESIGN FOR AN AIR RESTRICTED ENGINE A Thesis submitted to the Division of Research and Advanced Studies of The University of Cincinnati In Partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE School of Dynamic Systems College of Engineering and Applied Science July 6, 2012 By David Anthony Moster BSME 2005 Abstract The purpose of this work is to study the effects that an air restriction has on basic intake manifold design calculations. When designing an intake manifold for a combustion engine, there are several simple methods that engineers have used historically to help determine peak volumetric efficiency per engine rpm. Methods such as Helmholtz Resonator Tuning and Pressure Wave Tuning have been used substantially to determine an engine’s operating conditions. However, these methods are flawed for the restricted engine case due to the assumption that there is an unlimited amount of air. Through experimentation of various intake manifold configurations, it is possible to determine how this false assumption affects the results of the design. Examination of each major design parameter of an intake manifold independently compared with the traditional analytical hypothesis is performed to help to determine if these methods can still be used in an air restricted environment. Based on the results from this experimentation, it appears that these calculations can still determine where peak volumetric efficiency is. However, the area around the peak volumetric efficiency is affected significantly. 1 Acknowledgments I would like to thank my advisor, Dr. Randall Allemang, for his support and guidance throughout my undergraduate and graduate studies.

  • Piggyback Tuning
    Application Note Piggyback Tuning Piggyback tuning is the process of adjusting the operation of a stock engine management system to make a modified engine run properly. Piggyback tuning involves some type of hardware that is used in addition (piggyback) to the stock Electronic Control Unit (ECU). The other widely used methods for tuning modified engines are ECU reprogramming and stand-alone engine tuning where the stock ECU is replaced with an aftermarket unit. ECU reprogramming is a very effective way to tune an engine. It involves changing map tables and control registers to directly adjust ECU operation and the tune of the engine. Reprogramming has the advantage that it does not require any additional hardware and does not alter any wiring. Reprogramming is well suited for stock engines or engines with well defined modifications. It is not always an option. In many cases a reprogramming solution is not available, or undesirable due to warranty concerns. Most manufacturers will void the powertrain warranty if the ECU has been reprogrammed. A common problem with late model vehicles is that dealerships frequently reprogram vehicles when they come in for service as new versions of ECU software are released. When this happens, the aftermarket tune is lost. Stand-alone systems offer the highest level of flexibility and versatility. This comes at a relatively high cost. Stand-alone ECUs are expensive. There is also considerable additional cost in sensors, wire harness and tuning. Stand-alone tuning is generally used in off-road and racing applications. Modern street cars have too many interconnected modules to make a stand-alone ECU practical.

As you probably know, by the time 1978 arrived, the American auto manufacturers had basically totally exited the performance marketplace. In a single decade it was as if the knowledge of muscle cars and ways to increase the performance of the American V8 just disappeared – as if a comet had struck the Earth and killed off all that knowledge. That phenomenon still strikes me as weird to this day. As a gearhead who grew up in and around the horsepower crazed 60s and birth of American muscle car, I was amazed by the almost total loss of information about hopping up Oldsmobile 442s and Cutlasses. My friends and I would sit around and lament the fact that except for a few of us, everyone seemed to be a dunce when it came to extracting some performance from an Olds V8. Then it struck me; it was I who was the dunce. I realized that: 1) there was a whole new generation of people who had been kids when these cars roamed the streets, 2) Olds had been kind of stingy in handing out performance information, and 3) there just had never been any real Olds performance publications out there.
