Description

The project discusses the Minnesota State University-Mankato Automotive Engineering Technology's involvement in the 2009 Formula SAE competition. The presentation contains the process of researching, designing, testing and building a reliable and powerful engine while remaining in compliance with the Formula SAE rules. The MSU Motorsports team focuses on the development of a Honda F4i engine. The engine is divided into six main components; intake, exhaust, oiling, cooling, fuel and electrical. The main areas of focus this year were creating a wide power band and developing a dry sump oiling system.
