Hi, I'm about to purchase a fuel map device for my Hypermotard.
As background, the stock system has a single O2 sensor located after the two header pipes come together which provides a signal for closed loop feedback at low throttle and rpm. (<20%throttle, <5,500rpm). Above this range the stock...
Hi,
For some "sales" work I need to attach a shell to an ADAMS view model to make some pretty animations. The shell I have to use is an OBJ file, which has an associated MTL file. ( The MTL file includes the surface properties such as color.) When we import the OBJ file file to ADAMS, it...
Hi All,
We usually work with on-road vehicles, but have to do some work with a side/side type utility vehicle. Tires are 27*9-12 and 27*11-12 ITP 900 XCT. Initially analysis is on asphalt. (I have seen the papers regarding studies on dirt)
Our current work is largely comparative rather...
Hi All, Sorry for such a basic question. We have designed in 3D CATIA V5 a complex machined "valve block" component with many internally intercepting features. I now want to create exactly the same shape object, only 20% bigger. Can this easily be done in CAD ? I'm being informed by our CAD...
Hi,
I came across this material which appears to be a good low cost opportunity to reduce weight from rotors. Does anyone have any experience or comment on the concept ?
Having consulted the earlier posts (thread31-78159 and others ), I found a general concensus that the running torque of the nut before contact should be added to the desired clamp load torque.
I can understand this approach for a nyloc or such, however, I'm using a nut with defomation (...
Hi,
I need to put new halfshafts on the wife's '02 Passat. Given that the price, from the same manufacturer, is about the same, would you go for new or re-built ?
Of course re-built has the small inconvenience of returning a "core", but I'm thinking the base materials will be of higher...
Hi,
I'm probably pushing the boundaries a bit here, but....
Has anyone on the forum studied typical shock absorber life ( warranty returns )to the extent of understanding the point ( mileage ) at which infant failure decays to the steady failure rate ? I'm particularly interested in the...
Engine - 400cc Single cylinder 4 stroke on motorcycle.
Question. What is the design purpose of an intake plenum with "snorkel" inlet ?
My feelings :
a) Noise reduction. ( It is noisy with no airbox - not a suck noise, more like the exhaust sound )
b) Possible Tuning, smoother running ?
I'm...
Can anyone advise on best way to accurately measure the volume of fluid passing down a pipe ?
Particulars :
Fluid : Mineral Oil - Viscosity 10 cSt at 40C.
Volume to measure 4 L, accuracy to 1cc
Flow Rate 10 L/min
Pump Pressure 1000PSI
Fluid will be solid - no foam.
