Engines aside, I like your ad idea with the slogans and back ground approach. Keep them coming.

Here are the Centauri Industries takes on your engine. First is a quick to make, very reliable, low power but torquey version, with over 25% economy, file name "cheap". Next a all around version basically a optimized tune of your engine with comparable cost and hours with about 130 hp and over 21% economy, file name "average". And finally a full out sport version with 200hp and still over 20% economy, file name "high end". All models have 40k or more mile MTBF, under $550 material costs, and run on regular gas.

Okay, I did several tunes for you.

First thing I noticed was the drop in MTBF as I tried to bump up the rev limit. Small-displacement engines like to rev to make their power, and I noticed your engine design was slightly oversquare. This means that the stroke is longer than the bore is wide. Ideally, you'd like a square (both are equal) or undersquare (shorter stroke than bore). To a point, these reduce the strain on rods, allowing higher revs without harming reliability. The rest was tune optimizations. You want to have your redline slightly above peak power. If you have to shift right as the engine peaks, you basically have to "start over" building power in the next gear. Peak numbers don't count nearly as much as power under the curve. You want a long, flat torque curve. I bumped compression and made a few other changes. Files attached are in ascending order of aggressiveness. Also keep in mind these tunes are progressive, with each building on the previous, except noted changes. Also note that despite the revised bore/stroke, the engine still displaces the original 2014 cc.

The first tune retains as much of the original as possible, adding multiport fuel injection to decrease octane requirements, slightly revised exhaust, increased compression, increased rev limit, and revised ignition and cam. Revised rod ratio as discussed above.

40k+ MTBF, 24.25% econ
27.3 man hours, $612 material costs

This second tune has a further revised rod ratio, safely increasing redline to 7100 RPM. VVT and VVL were also added (note the very flat torque line) with revised cam profiles. Exhaust and ignition were reworked again to optimize changes in Mid tune.
171 HP@7100 / 138 lb-ft @ 4900 (more importantly, above 120 lb-ft from 1500 RPM until redline)
39,600 MTBF, 28.80% econ
42.9 man hours, $631 material costs

This tune employs VVT and VVL

This third tune utilizes single point direct injection and increased compression. Rod ratio remains the same, with cams and ignition refined for the added wiggle room direct injection allows for octane requirements.
191 HP@7100 / 145 lb-ft@6000
40+ MTBF, 30.00% econ
41.5 man hours, $977 material costs

Sorry to double post, seems you can't attach more than 3 files!

This third tune uses forged rods and pistons, spinning to 8200 RPM. A long tube header was added, ITB's, compression increased, cams and ignition revised. This is a much sportier package and is costlier in both manhours and materials for production. With a pretty stout hit to economy (low 20's) the same could be done for less, or by bumping the octane requirement, significantly less while retaining decent economy.
218 HP@7900 RPM / 155 lb-ft@6800
43k+ MTBF, 30.41% econ
52.5 man hours, $991 materials

Economical, premium priced performance

Finally, to showcase what is possible by simply enriching the fuel mixture, I took the above and fattened the mix to the limit of running well. The rest of the mods are simply to support the power made by this. A racing header, revised cams, increased compression, and reworked exhaust come together in a heavy-hitting daily-drivable guise. It still runs on regular.
300 HP@8200 / 198 lb-ft@7500
29k MTBF, 19.84% econ
60.3 man hours, $1056 materials

I hope looking through these tunes and the revisions will help you gain a little insight into where you're having difficulty. If you have any questions at all or want me to demo anything else for you, just let me know either here or through PM. I'll do my best to respond as promptly as possible.

Thanks everyone for helping out with my lawnmower engine... I will be downloading and storing for future reference. I will remove the engine file I uploaded now as I have enough submissions.

Thanks again

Thanks, I'll do one for every car if I have any ideas.

[Breno]

I really liked the ads from WOSA! But I think the engines can improve!

[boyercam]

You're right there, maybe i'll sign a deal with someone

Information Sheet Coming Soon

[Breno]

Interesting idea!
You outdid yourself this last announcement! I'm really enjoying the form of disclosure of WOSA.

[boyercam]

Goodbye to the firsts, the real founders of Wosa

[boyercam]

PLEASE NOTE: The development of WOSA cars are temporarily ceased. Development is due to start again before the Summer. This is due to the CEO having vital GCSE exams.

However a model may be expected in the next couple of days.

[Absurdist]

I really like your body designs We should team up and do a collaborative effort when you get back, you design a body and I'll provide an engine.

[LoucurasdoPortal]

Nice cars, man!

Just like Absurdist, i would love to help you designing those cars and projecting engines for them
Just tell me if you would like such help.

[boyercam]

Thanks Guys, I'll contact you nearer the time. I'm halfway through them now, I may have more time towards the last few weeks to make some more cars.
