What will I learn?

This course provides a practical guide to designing and optimising a modern 1.6 L spark-ignition engine. Master thermodynamic cycles, performance analysis, boosting systems, knock limits, BSFC, and efficiency. Learn to select compression ratios, valve timing, EGR, and control strategies, then apply cycle analysis to set realistic targets, conduct validation tests, and develop an implementation plan.

Elevify advantages

Develop skills

  • Model SI cycles to quickly calculate Otto, Atkinson, and Miller cycle efficiencies.
  • Size engine performance by estimating BMEP, BSFC, power, and torque for a 1.6 L unit.
  • Design knock-resistant engines by specifying compression, boost, and fuel parameters.
  • Calibrate rapidly with tuning of spark advance, lambda, EGR, and VVT for smooth drivability and low emissions.
  • Apply real-world adjustments to ideal cycles accounting for heat losses, friction, and pumping effects.

What our students say

Your classes are perfect. I got the one-year package and finally have the chance to follow a range of topics I'm interested in without having to switch platforms... thank you for everything you do, I've already recommended you to others...
