V6 Internal Combustion Engine

The Internal Combustion Engine has been designed from scratch with a racing application in mind, which translates to an SI high compression powertrain. This assignment has been completed as part of my extracurricular experience gaining procedure in CATIA’s part design module. A layout has been established at the beginning of the project, which illustrated the benchmark to follow when creating all geometric tolerances. It is inspired by the 1.6 litter Formula 1 engine of today, measuring at 80 mm bore and 53 mm stroke. The calculated compression ratio is equal to 13:1, alongside the total capacity numbering at 1598 cc. This over squared setup allows for a high revving characteristic, configuring the engine to achieve peak power at a high RPM range. Parameters are as follows: twin overhead camshafts, 24 valves (4 valves per cylinder), 6 cylinders arranged in a V configuration at a 90° angle, a 4-stroke internal combustion engine with direct injection weighing at 99.93 kg.
