PROJECT OVERVIEW

Engine• Intake & Throttle Body• Ignition System• ECU & Tuning• Engine Internals• Exhaust System

Drivetrain• Slipper Clutch• Shifting System

Objective: To design, engineer, and build a powertrain system that complements the design aspects of the chassis and suspension and maximizes power output.

SCHEDULE

GOALS FOR REVIEW 3 STATUS

Powder coat drivetrain Finished, then removed

Assemble the drivetrain

Waiting for bearings, Need to fix tolerances

Mate the drivetrain to engine Mostly done

Install the cooling system Dependent on the completion of the chassis

Installation of electrical system

Dependent on the completion of the chassis

Complete the shifting system

Finished Design, Still being manufactured
