I was thinking about this today. Say you put your top driver out there and they run the same time +- .1 second over several laps on a minute long course trying different lines and levels of...

An already running car tuned by someone that know's what they're doing might take two hours to get it where you're putting down peak power at WOT in your operating rpm including set up and tear down...

I propose we change how registration is done for FSAE Michigan and FSAE West.

I'm just going to say this now so my position makes sense. I think Michigan should be the "A" competition and Lincoln...

Its overkill to use a HANS device in FSAE. Your chances of hitting something head on are very slim and even then you're never going more than 70 mph on the track. We do also have the crush zone, it...

Now I feel sorry for you guys. I was imagining it going the other way where a bunch of newbies came up with a crazy concept and got annoyed and left when no one listened to their "ground breaking"...

My take on this is you end up having to weigh throttle response with efficiency and peak power. A positive displacement supercharger isn't very efficient but offers the best throttle response (and I...

I was thinking it was from an inertia dyno, but then I don't read German.

I feel there are a lot of odd choices on that motor as a whole. They put a lot of work into designing an engine but stuck...

Very cool. That torque curve is so flat!

Does anyone have any details on that motor? The Racecar Engineering article was very short but it looks pretty neat.

I wonder if its going to be like the Mahle engine or what.

We reach chocked flow at around 10k I believe. There are a few variables to look at and I would say the easiest way to do this is use an online calculator to find the max flow rate thought the 20mm...

Tabs and fasteners...

Take your pick on the fasteners, our team has used everything from quick ties to 1/4 turns. Just weld some tabs with pre drilled holes onto the chassis and then drill some...

So here are few things that come to mind:
-Contact the campus PD, they should have cones and if they're cool they'll let you use some
-Buy some cheapo plastic cones from e-bay
-Use empty gallon/2...

This is just my opinion. 15mm over 200mm is 7.5% error, most things checked in tech have tighter tolerances than that.

Of course its your call but its an easy thing to check at tech and its a lot...

Interesting...

What about a portal axle with a spool/solid rear and a swing arm type suspension while using an engine that isn't from a bike?

Reason I say that is because its the only way I...

I have some indirect experience with starting a new team, mostly from teams coming to us for help.

I'd say securing a shop and some funds are your two biggest challenges as far as starting a team...

If I'm reading your question correctly it sounds like you are trying to mix NPT and metric parts. They don't work together without adapters, to that end you can buy an adapter for just about...

If you mean like Illinois does I'd assume its for packaging.

If you already have a car you should run some laps and see how much fuel you use. Then add a little extra capacity so you're sure you won't run out in Enduro.

If you're a new team you should just...

This a bit random but I have to ask

Why are teams buying a whole bike just for the motor? And if you are you have a whole lot of parts there you can sell and get most your money back. Really 6...

Maybe I'm missing something here but everything you are looking for is available in various places on the internet. You'd just have to pay the shipping to send it all the way from say Germany to...

My basic understanding of this as an engine guy is that you are only concerned with camber and toe control in the rear. As in you look at roll centers and make sure you don't have toe changes...

I'd love to see both the Goodyear tires and the Goodyear shootout make a comeback.

I believe the problem with the their last venture was loosing money on all the sponsorship they did. I imagine...

I am sure there is some sort of materials supply place in Ann Arbor where you could buy some Aluminum sheet. I'm not going to spend a bunch of time looking at this for you so just go on google and...

Looks like Luniz is in a bad mood...

He's right about the rules though, if you read them your question will be answered. I'm not going to do that for you. I have better things to do but I can say...

Like others have said you might want to try a baffled muffler or putting the spark arrestor/silencer insert back in your FMF.

If that doesn't do it you have something else on the car making that...
