University of New Hampshire Clean Snowmobile Challenge 2006
Overview • Target market • Power plant selection • Drive train • Power output • Emission reductions • Noise reductions • Costs • Estimated retail costs • Conclusion
Target Market • Recreational enthusiasts • Rider priorities • Performance • Environmental considerations • Noise reduction
Power Plant Selection • CBR 600 F4i • Four stroke (lower emissions) • Four cylinder, liquid cooled • Throttle body fuel injection • Exhaust air injection • 3-D ignition mapping • High revving
Drive Train • Internal gear reductions • Off crank • 1.822:1 • Transmission modifications • .8:1 • External gear drive • Final gear ratio: 1.45:1 • Output shaft RPM • Jack shaft
Power Output • 123 hp, 72 ft-lbs @ 8950 RPM (clutch)
Reduced Emissions • Four stroke • Low emissions California model CBR 600 F4i with catalytic converter • Exhaust air injection • Engine/exhaust system passes 2004 CARB emissions standards
Noise Reduction • Under hood sound insulation (Accumat) • Under seat exhaust • Stock CBR 600 silencer, 80 dB rating • Designed specifically for motor • Fiber Frax exhaust insulation
Estimated Retail Cost • Late model chassis: ~ $4000 • CBR 600 F4i motor: ~ $2000 • Hardware: ~ $188 • Exhaust: ~$550 • Total production cost: ~ $6738
Conclusions • Produced high performance machine • Fast acceleration • 90+ mph top speed • Lower emissions than standard 2 stroke • Smoke free • Majority of time spent integrating motor into chassis
