Description
Summary:The project concerns the Minnesota State University Mankato Automotive Engineering Technology Program's entry to the 2007 Clean Snowmobile Challenge. Included in this presentation is the snowmobile model chosen for modification, engine choice, modifications applied, methods used, modification results affecting performance, emission control, noise reduction, production cost, durability, fuel efficiency, safety, and rider comfort. The Minnesota State Mankato Mavericks devoted their main focus for the 2007 Clean Snowmobile Challenge to convert a carbureted Arctic Cat 500 Saber Cat two-stroke engine to semi-direct injection (SDI). The engine was tested for emissions, noise, and performance; these test results were then analyzed for advantages and disadvantages.
