This link has all of my info and data (for the WATTARD) for comparison purposes. My PhD has everything in one pdf, titled "Small engine performance limits- turbocharging, combustion or design"

Might be an interesting read for many FSAE powertrian teams out there

For all you guys planning to attend the SAE World Congress (April 16-19 2007)which is just a few weeks away, this paper is scheduled to be presented on Thursday the 19th at 1.30pm if anybody has any...

I suppose people responding to my paper is a good thing. It means they are actually reading it.

My apologies for the incorrect statement. It was a big weekend. I was sure we set a 46.8 which...

There is no violation of the rules here as the vent is between 2 seals. The intake system is sealed, sealed as good as the piston ring during induction anyway or in the same way as if the stardard...

Hello all, below is a link to an SAE paper which I wrote which solves the oil control issues for throttled compressors for all you turbocharging guys who are having oil issues. It is sheduled to be...

Bigwig, Dont forget to look at the simulation data for varying exhaust geometries in the paper 2006-01-3637. The engine is very different to many out there. It is odd fire (0-180) due to the inline...

Thanks guys. Its been a while since I posted anything, busy with the Phd.

Thanks also to all th guys I met at the Small Engine Confernece in San Antonio and the Motorsports Conference in...

Thanks Greg, car was number 11 and it was blue in colour. Had a different engine sound due to the 2 cylinder engine

Just wondering if anyone has any footage of the first enduro from the 2004 Australian event. In particular of the Melb Uni car running in the middle of the session.

Thanks

Any teams ever had any success with a single cyl turbo engine in the past years of FSAE or Formula Student. My memory doesn't go back far enough. I need some info for a report.

Where not so high tech here at Melb Uni. In 2003, when we suspected our rim centres were flexing like crazy, out came the chewing gum which was carefully placed on the brake caliper, 10mm from the...

Firstly, congrats to all teams who made it to the event. An achievment in itself.

Farls, who ever you are. I might have to take you off the Christmas card list. After doing fsae for 5 years, the most important thing I have learnt to achieve a good result is to build a car early...

You guys, please stop bagging Ric

"i'm dissapointed to see this sort of shit aired in public, at least we'd managed to keep the in-fighting and bitching to the overworked...

Steve, relax buddy. Just trying to give the guys, including myself who are working flat out on the car a laugh. No mallice intended. We left all that behind 3 weeks ago when we decided to put the...

Here at Melbourne Uni, we diversify our plan of attack by always making sure there are multiple backup plans for all components. A good example would be our engine which I was told was unreliable.

Have any teams got on top of the turbo/oil issue under vaccuum conditions without using carbon seals which hurt turbo spool rate and throttle response, or do you just live with the oil consumption. ...

Intercooler is bad news in terms of throttle response and driveability with all that extra volume between the throttle and engine.

We run 22psi boost at 6000RPM and about 12psi boost at 10000RPM...
