Description
Minnesota State University, Mankato (MSU) is entering the Clean Snowmobile Challenge 2002 (CSC2002) in Jackson Hole, Wyoming in March of 2002. This competition challenges engineering students to engineer an existing snowmobile for improved emissions and noise while maintaining or improving the performance characteristics. Along with the modifications, the students are expected to make a cost efficient snowmobile. MSU's snowmobile team has selected a 2001 Polaris Edge for the competition. An engine will be chosen following the testing and comparing of a direct fuel injected two-stroke cycle engine to a turbo-charged four-stroke cycle engine. The engine, which is selected, will be one that performs better in acceleration, emissions, cold start, noise, fuel economy/ range, handling/drivability, and the hill climb.
