Get a ford MAF that looks like this. Common on Taurus's and Mustangs. It works great on my 140hp 2 stroke jetski running Megasquirt. About 1 Volt at idle and about 4 Volts at full power...

That is a two speed manual
I have been assigned the project of designing the intake manifold for a Honda CBR600 RR. Could someone please direct me to applicable reading, websites or otherwise.
Thank you in advance for any...

I admit Ackerman is not simply the angle A - angle B I guess I should have made the sentence longer and made it include ...and the resulting instantianous center of rotation of the chassis...

Well... Are we talking about weight transfer as the karters think about it. We realy need to start breaking this down. Ackermann is the differance in the angle of the outside front tire...
Simple test requireing no calculators.
1) Put the car on the floor with driver installed
2) Turn the wheel to half lock
3) Get some salt and sprinkle it on the floor where the inside front tire...
All the calculations in the world will make you feel better but the less shifting that you do on the autocross course will give the fastest lap times. The problem will always come back to the...
I forgot to mention that most of the tunnel installs that I have seen on FSAE cars have very tight clearance between the tunnel and the ground. The issue that comes with this setup is that with...
I asked an indy car designer about autocross designes re areo. His answer was if you are driving 150 and above, this is a ll a big deal...at 50 MPH just make it look like a bananna and it will make...

To look at the car would not strike you as anything revolutionary. Everything is very well done. As I remember it was around 300 hp. Most of the top...

I think you are coming around to the way I am seeing the issue.
Load distribution thru the Heims and into the chassis, upright design, a clean rocker/shock/motion ratio, camber curves,...
Could someone post a napkin sketch of what Ortiz article is trying to describe. I am a mechanical engineer and like pictures and arrows. At 2 gees, is there any weight left on the inside tire.

Your design goal is to develope a car to market as an autocross car. You would never be able to sell cars without aero. You can not win on an autocross without aero. All of the fast/quick...
The point I was trying to make is nothing is ever static in autocross. I have full time wireless datalogs coming off the Megasquirt on that car. Between watching the video and watching the AE.... ...
Watch these two movies of the same car on the same course and then put into prospective stady state cornering loads in the big picture. Remember that the mission of FSAE is to design an "autocross...
Some day we need to start two threads.
1) Impressing judges and intertaining people that like to run calculations
2) Making a car fast and reliable and how it differs from thread 1

If the front RC is moving left as the rear is moving right this can't be good. If it stays in the center at all possible combinations the above will never happen. We have enough to worry about from...

Try these numbers in your suspension program. You can get real close to static lateral.

Design the roll center height to be wherever you want it verticaly and such that in any position where the suspension can get to the roll center does not move horizontaly more than an inch or so. If...
I would think that it all reduces down to the CF of the tire is say 1.6 or so times the weight of the car times the radius of the tire divided the radius of the rear gear. That is about the most...
The simple answer... four links to replace the shocks, three jackstands, a chain with turn buckle and a concrete insert in the floor, a little cable, a few dial indicators, and some weight in...
I use Grape FEA that is free will run in unregistered mode after ignoring a few screens. http://www.grapesoftware.mb.ca/features.htm It can't do pinned connections but long slender tubes is just fine...
There is no differance in deflection as the chassis is torqued in either direction. I did that chassis a few years ago, as a sample of how I would design a FSAE chassis. Most of the load paths I...
