  1. Kettering University Presenters: Chad Swartz John Stimpson

  2. Engineering Design Strategy • Noise Minimization • Emission Reduction • Performance Modifications • Cost Minimization • Snowmobile Durability

  3. Noise(Environmental Aspect) • Sound deadening materials • Spark arrestor • Dual tuned absorption silencers • Turbo, two catalytic converters, two silencers • Bogie wheel removal

  4. Base Sound Pressure

  5. Bogie Wheels Removed

  6. Emissions(Environmental Aspect) • Two three-way catalytic converters • ECU recalibration • E85 utilization • Reduced net carbon emissions

  7. E-85 Information

  8. E85 Emission Reductions

  9. Performance(Operator Aspect) • Traction aids • Turbocharger • Charge air cooler • Instrumentation • High specific power • 127 bhp/L • Primary (drive) clutch weights

  10. Clutching
