The V-Twin Project

I picked up this project part way. i can't claim to have had all of the great ideas.

The idea of a custom V-Twin engine for the formula sae car had been around for a few years in the Auckland team and an old Yamaha Vision engine was dyno’ed and played with to try and get some rough data.

A team member was dead set on the idea of a V twin, was given a bit of cash and he started developing ideas for how a v twin could work. Over a year he came up with the idea that I am finishing of using two single cylinder dirt bike engines on a common crank.

He did the basic CAD work for the engine, started on the crankcase, and started getting the needed bits of engines. He basically got it to the point that this is how everything will sit, here is a list of things that I haven't sorted, have fun.
