Supercharged KTM Engine for Snowmobile

The goal of the project is to design and manufacture a supercharged single-cylinder four-stroke engine that would package in a snowmobile chassis.

=Problem Definition=

In this project, we will be supercharging a KTM 540 SXS motorcycle engine with an Eaton Supercharger and redesigning it to fit inside a snowmobile chassis to achieve better fuel efficiency, more power, and weight reduction.



Deliverables

 * Assemble a KTM 540 SXS motorcycle engine
 * Construct CAD models of the layout of the engine, crankcase, crankshaft, connecting rod, camshaft regrind, camshaft chain drive, oil and water pumps, and mounts for the superchargers
 * Gather measurements with the 3D Scanner, calipers, and measuring tape
 * Determine compression ratio, horse power, air to fuel ratio, and fuel efficiency
 * Prototype of the design
 * Record of cost and materials
 * Final report of how to design and manufacture this supercharged engine for a snowmobile

=Design Considerations=

=Project Learning= The KTM engine was given to the team disassembled with a box full of parts. While re-assembling the engine back together, we gain more knowledge of how it worked, how we were going to design the new crankcase, and how to attach the supercharger on it. Also, we found the parts that we needed and didn't need.
