The engine has undergone a 3 year intensive design and development program, and is designed and manufactured using state of the art 3-d parametric design tools and CNC manufacturing equipment.
Key aspects of the development program include :
- Crankshaft counterweight and bearing force analysis
- 1-d Computer Simulation of engine breathing processes, analysis into air-box, intake system, camshaft and exhaust design. Indi
- Dynamometer verification and optimisation of intake system design, camshaft development, exhaust design, fuel injector location, crankcase pressure.
- On-track testing in speedway racing application in multiple configurations.
- Continuing development with larger engine capacities, power curve development, engine controls, fuel system configuration, additional modularity for ease of installation.
- Front engine, rear drive Installation
- Mid Engine / Hewland FTR Installation
- Integration with PaddleShift ECU controlled gearshift systems
- Traction Control / Datalogging integration.
- Reliability / Endurance
