What will I learn?
This course offers a practical guide to designing and enhancing a 1.6 L spark-ignition engine. Master thermodynamic cycles, performance analysis, turbo boosting, knock prevention, fuel efficiency, and overall optimization. Specify key parameters like compression ratio, valve timing, EGR systems, and control methods, then apply cycle analysis to set achievable goals, conduct validation tests, and create an implementation plan.
