  4. Project Introduction • Background: Fuel efficiency is becoming increasingly more important in Formula SAE competition scoring. In order to improve the RIT Formula SAE Race Team’s score, an engine package is desired that will be more fuel efficient while still producing a competitive amount of power.

  5. Project Introduction • Problem Statement: Develop a more fuel efficient and powerful engine package to be used by the RIT Formula SAE 2012 car • Previous Formula SAE Senior Design Projects: • Variable Intake System • Paddle Shift System • Data Acquisition System • Engine Control Unit

  6. Objective and Scope • Entire engine package able to provide the following: • Approximately 55 horsepower • Operation in ambient temperatures up to 100°F under racing conditions • Reduction in fuel required by 60% compared to the previous engine package over a similar run • Well understood and documented development process

  7. Deliverables • Engine Package • Cooling System • Engine Model and CFD Analysis • Wiring Diagram • Engine Maps • Power Output • Fuel Economy

  8. Assumptions and Constraints • RIT Formula Team previously selected a single cylinder engine – 2009 Yamaha WR450F • Must comply with all Formula SAE rules • Including, but not limited to: • Use provided race fuel: 93 or 100 Octane Gasoline or E85 Ethanol • Spark Ignition • Four Stroke
