Why starting with heat calculations? Just estimate/find a friction coefficient and your maximum traction and you can find the needed size.
Or just see what the others do...sometimes calculations...
Put a bigass radiator in the back.
Cut a motronic trigger, get a VR sensor, plug everything, attach trigger disc to a lathe, mount the VR sensor, spin the lathe to 1000rpm.
See if there is spark, see if there is inj. pulse....
With a proper trigger wheel and wiring it should be fine.
No, that what most said is that under normal circumstances, engine vibrations are not a matter for an FSAE car.
If you face problems like bolts loosening, bits falling apart, that means either...
Most Denso ecu before 2000 are not programmable.
The only solution is to use a piggy back system, like e-manage, interceptor, etc.
We also didn't do any analysis, just trial and error.
The target was to reduce the vibration on idle, because on load everything seemed to work pretty well.
On idle, we could see nuts coming off,...
We had used many types of bushings, but generally, they do close to nothing and let the engine move, meshing up all engine peripherals.
We finally changed them to aluminum bushings.
If the engine...
If your injectors fire, you have spark and ecu reads "normal" rpm and temps, but doesn't start, then you have wrong trigger angle, or air leaks in the intake system.
Considering that you have...
Check your crank/cam sensors.
And, as someone said, check the ground, It's always the ground...
We also use the lc1 for engine tunning.
Great device, can give both wideband and narrowband signal (for close loop usage) and calibrated to whatever output you what using the rs232 kit.
...
I was here...
(Pls Pat, post something)
First you have to tune it a bit on the road and then on a chassis dyno, if you don't have your own dyno.
Yes you can run safely on the event with a road tune, but not full potential.
This forum is not for asking and seeking replies without first.
We are engineers and as far as we want to built an fsae car, we have to design it first.
Design doesn't mean: "which is better?" or...
600cc turbo+supercharger combo.
It will rip the tarmac and have blistering speed.
Also, if you go for a spaceframe, use the tubes as nitrous tank and spay an extra 100hp when needed. Just hide...
We use hydraulic hand clutch on the LH side...never had a problem, pretty simple setup, light and cheap.
For shifting we use push buttons on the wheel, both on the RH side, one over the other....
The pipe on the rocker cover is breather pipe. It connects with the one on the crankcase and should end in a catch tank.
I don't really understand what is the oil filter pipe you saying, but in...
Similar setup here, with load lifted at the proper height though a rope that we cut using an angle grinder from a safe distance.
I don't think that dual battery setup isn't the right solution to your problems.
We are running a 10Ah bike battery on our cars.
Even the one with a big-single (600cc) starts instantly when hot...
Don't do it, if it's your 1st car.
Train the driver properly to instantly lift when up shifting and blipping when down shifting.
If you go on, i would go with ignition cut...safer for the...
Is the meeting room, general room and electronics room all yours?
Most of the machinery outside the fs room is not property of the team, but they belong to the school's machine shop equipment.
The trumph is there way before the team was established.
Today we got a mail about a new Formula Series:
http://www.wsc-series.com/
Only one static event, all the dynamics of a normal FSAE event and a pursuit and knockout competition.
Moreover they...
