Efficient Performance - The Engine Design Challenge
We've had plenty of car challenges and competitions - how about a plain and simple engine challenge? The goal - design an engine which is powerful, efficient, and reliable. The formula we will be using is
[Performance Index]*[Efficiency^1.5]*[Reliability^0.5]/[Liters]
The efficiency is in %, seen in the final engine tab. Yes, this formula puts a lot of emphasis on efficiency - this is to offset the power density advantage of smaller engines.
Here is the ruleset:
Year 2016 or earlier
Max 95RON
No race intakes
No race exhausts
Must have catalytic converter
Loudness under 60
ALL QUALITY SLIDERS 0 (I will consider opening a separate category for no quality restrictions)
Current leaders:
Turbocharged
USDMFTW - 2083 i6 - 149.1
phale - 1.6L I6-SS Efficient Plus - 144.1
koolkei - 2.5L I4 Turbo - 128.2
Naturally Aspirated
MrChips - CMW X70 B60X0 - 91.5
UMM - I416ECR - 90.1
