@ Rohan

I will be at Italy too.

This is a shout out to alumni from India with past FSAE experience who are willing to work for a Formula Student India

@ Claude Rouelle:

I am really sorry this happened.
Hope I get to meet you in Italy.

From all I have seen on the SUPRA SAE group on Facebook, it is clear that the event was very poorly organized. There was lack of power supply, drinking water and even healthy food. More so the spirit...

@Mbirt:

Thanks for the info, but what you just told me raises more questions:



Does that mean the ramp up from actual 0 mm lift to 1 or 1.5 mm lift is more gradual on the crank angle march...

I was just comparing the Honda CBR 600 and a Suzuki GSX R. They have the following attributes:

CBR 600:

Intake:
Valve open: 21 deg BTDC, Valve close: 45 deg ABDC, duration : 245 degrees
Valve...

I think Wade Cams are based somewhere in Victoria.... Their contact details are listed on the website

@ Claude and Pat:

I really hope you make it to the Italian Event too.

REX: I agree that many experiences learnt wrt design changes and ideas are hard to get across a few successive teams even with docs. But when a team repeatedly fails to pass scrutiny, its just about...

I have a better chance of walking on the moon than any of those things listed happening in the near future.

One of the biggest problems with most Indian teams (in my opinion) is that the members...

Kenneth,

From our first year we have been approaching our university management like this,

The team, considering the total strength, pitches in a total amount say X INR (Indian Rupees). An...

@ Thrilok: A difference of 0.1 mm on the stroke length will not have any damaging effect. These engine are built with a good factor of safety and to take a lot of abuse.

Hey Dhruv,

If you guys are still in Bangalore and have no tyet sorted out your problem, give me a call and let me know where you are. I'll try and drop in tomorrow after work and help you guys out.

Did you try talking to Karthik? He would be the best person to tell you whats wrong.

Sent you a PM with my number. Call if need help

Maybe. A lot depends on the geometry of the intake after the throttle body. We have been using 28mm for the last 2 years.

Hi Lorenzo,


Thanks for that quick reply. Well last year wehn i was in Italy i went to Bonini moto in Parma looking for a cam trigger pick up. I was sent to their service center in Bussetto as...

Hi all,

We will be participating in FSAE Italy shortly. We are experiencing problems with the fuel pump we are running as it suddenly stops building the required pressure and we have to refit the...

Well to add to all that

-The Indian teams who have been participating in international events with a 600cc engine will not be participating here because it is not worth the effort in designing a...

19,000 rpm??? why would you do that?? I fyou want info on cam profiles use the search button. You can measure the lift versus duration on your own. I doubt anyone is going to give you the values

Hey Shivam,

Try and get a CFD tool like ansys cfx. I am sure it must be available at your university. Run your model on the software to obtain optimum flow. Keep changing the design until you are...

We had a similar contour for the 09 car. I was hell bent on maintaining the inner contour properly to keep the flow behavior as close to the cfx simulation as possible. I got it done as a 2 piece...

Thanks a ton mate... really appreciate it.

This how i thought i could get fillets done on sheet metal. We god wooden patterns done in the shape of the fluid that fills the plenum and as a shell....

Yes.. The results when keeping just one of the runners open resulted in a net drop in mass flow in the outer runner

We did steady state analysis by specifying inlet velocity and outlet pressure. Iterations were done over many sets of inlet and outlet parameters. The variation was determined as the percentage of...
