bump - we are looking to hire a few more mechanical and electrical engineers in the very near future

Motivo is looking for a passionate, Project Manager with a strong technical background who enjoys being part of a tight-knit team and is looking to make immediate impact. We work on cool, clean sheet...

I'm an alumni of FSAE at Georgia Tech. I work at an awesome product development firm in southern California and we need to hire some really good EEs and MEs. Check out our website at...

One piece of advice for this competition, and engineering design in general: Don't make the mistake of assuming that a trick design is better than a more traditional design just because of its...

First off, please don't post the same question in four different threads, that just clutters up the forum.

For the cost report, the actual price that you purchase components for does not matter....

As Boffin said, definitely check the barrel and related parts of the gearbox.

But, if that checks out OK, you need to consider that you pneumatic shifting system may be causing the issue. Check on...

Why do you care what other teams use? Why not test a few springs and determine what your drivers like best?

Either way, I would recommend to have most, or all, of the spring tension on the...

Are you using the stock Aprilia ECU, or an aftermarket unit? If aftermarket, what brand?

This engine should start quite easily with the stock ECU and intake manifold. If you are having problems...

What do you mean they are powered? Most ECUs switch the low side of the injector, so so the high side of the injector is always at 12V when the power is on. In this case, when the injector is off,...

As Mikey said, you obviously need to follow the FSAE rules for the harness and seat. I do think that SAE has some standards for ergonomics, which could possibly help you to design the seat and...

A few things -

-I'd recommend using a knock sensor from a late-model car. You should be able to get one from any auto parts store. It should be rigidly mounted to the block and feed the signal...

Ground speed and drive speed are already channels on the M800. When you go to select the channel for the axis, you need to check the box to "show non-sensor channels".

I'm no expert on this, but I did have a co-worker who lived in Germany for awhile. I'm pretty sure he said the there were different levels of motorcycles licenses that allowed you to ride different...

My experience is that for gasoline engines, EGR is used to dilute the intake charge, which lowers the combustion temperature while maintaining a stoichiometric AFR (required for the catalyst to work...

A knock control system for the ECU doesn't make much sense on a race car, it isn't necessary and would be extremely hard to get it working correctly.

A knock detector for the dyno would be a good...

A megaphone is a type of acoustic horn, so if you find a book on acoustics you can learn how it works. Basically the horn optimizes the transfer of sound waves from in the exhaust pipe to free air....

We've used the Omega OS136s and they work extremely well, however they are somewhat large and heavy. That means that you need a fairly substantial bracket to cantilever them over your tires. The...

The "B" compound from the TTC tests is a compound specifically developed for FSAE on the FBMW carcass. It is not the latest compound developed for FSAE, it is a couple of years old, and you probably...

One other thing - since a MAF sensor generally just measures the velocity of the air moving past the element (hot-wire), you can take a standard one and reduce the diameter to suit your application....

I've seen a very small mass airflow sensor that was used in a secondary air injection system. I think it was Bosch, I don't know what car it was used in though. It was really small, maybe 1" ID, so...

lozo,

I had some trouble with this myself. I would contact Deutsch or your local distributor directly and ask for them to specify the DMC part numbers for the correct positioners. You could also...

I'm on GT Motorsports and we purchased a SXV 550 from Richmond Motorsports just before the Detroit comp. I'd like to thank Richmond Motorsports, especially Andy, for making this purchase as smooth as...
