Throttle/Restrictor
The throttle modulates the airflow into the engine. The throttle assembly consists of a spike-shaped plug
that controls the size of the opening into the restrictor. A cable connected to the gas pedal of the car
pulls the spike away from the opening to increase the flow rate of air. A spring returns the spike to the
rest position against the opening of the restrictor. This plugs the restrictor for the engine to idle.
The spike geometry has significant influence on the nature of the throttle modulation. As the spike is
pulled away from the restrictor, the area open for air flow changes. It is critical for the driver to have
accurate and predictable feedback for the throttle inputs from the gas pedal. There must be a linear
response between the throttle position and the flow rate of air into the engine. The diameter along the
spike can be varied to tune the response of the airflow. In addition, the throttle/spike assembly must
allow for proper pressure recovery after the restriction. This is necessary in order for the engine to make
the maximum amount of power. CFD analysis was performed to determine a suitable geometry that
would allow for a linear response to flow rate and complete outlet pressure recovery.
The following graph compares CFD results from two different spike profiles. The response of mass flow
rate and outlet pressure is plotted against throttle position. Perfectly linear modulation would result in a
linear line extending from minimum flow rate at 0% throttle position to maximum flow rate at 100%
throttle position.

Intercooler
The intercooler component increases the efficiency of the turbocharger by cooling the incoming air. The
energy density of the incoming air increases as it cools.
The following table shows the relevant specifications for the intercooler.
The intercooler will be manufactured from purchased intercooler stock. There are three dimensions of
the intercooler: thickness, width, and length . The induction stream into the engine passes through the
plane made by the thickness and width dimension, and the cooling stream passes through the plane
made by the length and width dimensions.
Intercooler stock is only commercially available in a limited number of thicknesses. The intercooler
width and thickness dimensions control the amount of warm, compressed flow that can pass through.
The length of the intercooler controls the amount of cooling that occurs. Longer sections result in
additional cooling.

The selection of this turbocharger is primarily based on engine simulation using the software package
"GT Power". This is a 1-D simulation of the performance of an engine and its associated flow system. The
simulation was used to compare the performance of 2 different models of turbochargers offered by
Honeywell. The following figure shows the schematic of the engine simulation.
Each component of the engine system is represented through its own module. The schematic follows
the flow through each component and shows connections between components. The software
simulates engine performance at several discrete operating conditions and can show a variety of
performance characteristics. When comparing turbochargers it is very useful to compare the efficiency
map of the compressor with the load points of the engine shown.

Exhaust System
The design of the exhaust system will optimize the efficiency of the turbine. This will in turn increase the
overall efficiency of the turbocharger and improve engine performance. The shape of the header and
exhaust will have a large effect on the performance of the turbocharger. The highly pulsed flow of the
single cylinder exhaust is far from an ideal steady flow. There are however, several constraints that limit
the design. The exhaust must fit in the car with all of the other components, the shape must be possible
to fabricate, and the heat from the exhaust must not cause damage.
Several iterations of exhaust design have been modeled in Creo and simulated in GT-Power. The initial
(red line) design simulated in GT-power was similar to what was used on F20 and would not actually fit
in F21. The design #1(blue line) was the first iteration of a header that would fit in F21 but an arbitrary
exhaust after the turbo. Design #2 (green line) had a revised header geometry and a more reasonable
geometry after the turbo.

Figure 7: GT-Power: Power and Efficiency results, Screen shot of header design #2 (green)
It is clear from the initial simulation that the performance of the turbocharger, and therefore the engine,
is very sensitive to the exhaust design. It is evident that further analysis is required to optimize the
performance of the system.
Boost Control
Electronic boost control will be accomplished through the MoTec M400 engine control unit (ECU). The
ECU will vary the level of boost delivered to the engine by actuating a solenoid that controls the
pressure applied to the wastegate. Boost control is critical to the performance of the system by allowing
the boost to be reduced to increase efficiency where needed.
The following table shows the relevant specifications for the boost control system.
Page 17 of 25
Detailed Design Review
KGCOE MSD
P13222: FSAE Turbocharger Integration
Table 8:Boost Control System Compliance
Specification Value Compliance Verification
Boost control is achieved through the wastegate and solenoid control valve. The wastegate is a valve
that can open to allow exhaust gas to bypass the turbine of the turbocharger. The wastegate is held
closed through the force of a spring. The spring is attached to a diaphragm that is connected to the
pressure of the plenum. When the pressure in the plenum builds to a certain level, the force on the
diaphragm overcomes the force of the spring and the wastegate is pushed open. Exhaust gas bypases
the turbine through the wastegate, slowing the turbine. The boost pressure falls, reducing the pressure
on the diaphragm, and the wastegate closes.
The boost control level will be electronically controlled by positioning a three-way solenoid in-line
between the plenum pressure and the diaphragm. This three-way solenoid connects the diaphragm
volume, the plenum volume, and a vent to atmosphere.
To increase the boost level, the solenoid will open so that pressure is routed away from the diaphragm
and vented to atmosphere. The boost pressure is not exerted on the diaphragm so the wastegate
remains in the closed position, and the exhaust gasses are routed through the turbine.
To decrease the boost pressure, the solenoid closes so that pressure is routed to the diaphragm. The
boost pressure is applied to the diaphragm, which opens the wastegate. Exhaust gasses are routed
through the wastegate to bypass the turbine.

P13222: FSAE Turbocharger Integration
In order to accurately control the level of boost, the ECU will control the solenoid through pulse width
modulation (PWM). The controller will vary the duty cycle of the solenoid according to a PID control
algorithm to achieve the desired boost level. The target boost level will depend on the desired operating
characteristics of the engine. When maximum power is needed, the boost level will be increased to
generate extra power. When fuel efficiency is a priority, the boost level will be decreased so that the
engine burns less fuel.
A solenoid from MAC Valves has been selected for use in the boost control system. The part number is
35A-AAA-DDBA-1BA. It is a miniature 3-way valve with 1/8" NPT fittings. The solenoid accepts PWM
control signal from the ECU. The following figure is a page from the MAC catalogue with additional
details on the valve.

Engine
There will likely be few internal modifications to the engine initially. It is possible that with the increased
power some components may need to be replaced with stronger alternatives. However, until there is a
better understanding of the performance potential and the durability of the factory components no
modifications will be made.

Mounting System
The mounting system's main function is to hold the turbocharger assembly firmly in place, and constrain
it in all axes of rotation/translation. Using the main roll hoop as a base, standoff tubes are welded to
nodes that already support engine and chassis loads to maintain stiffness. Pending dynamometer testing
and verification of inertial loads/vibrations, mounting may be modified to accommodate stiffness and
strength requirements. In that case, alternative options such as mounting the turbocharger assembly to
the chassis may be presented, as well as a combination of support from the roll hoop and chassis.

Testing Plans
Testing will be centered around the DC Dynamometer facility that is maintained by the Formula SAE
Team. The DC dynamometer will measure torque, speed, and various temperatures and fluid pressures.
In addition, the ECU software allows for the monitoring of all normal engine operating parameters such
as oil pressure, oil temperature, coolant temperature, spark and fuel information. The dyno control
software can read and log the telemetry from the ECU along with the sensors on the dyno itself. It also
allows the user to set a desired engine speed to allow precise tuning.
