As each competition passes, fuel efficiency and technical superiority becomes much more prevalent in competition scoring. This senior design project will develop a variable intake system for the Formula SAE race car that will allow for increased fuel efficiency, design advancements and a greener methodology to produce more engine power. Our project deliverables consist of increased volumetric efficiency of the engine, increased fuel economy, improved power/torque, better drivability, high reliability, manufacturability and servicability. This system would be implemented using an electronic control system that will vary the geometry based on engine parameters (such as RPM, manifold pressure, air temp) and possibly include driver inputs (throttle position/steering position for increased response time). |
