Abstract
This paper presents the development of a high performance internal combustion engine for motorsports applications. The base for this project was an inline four-cylinder sport bike engine which is compact, lightweight and has parts that ease a new configuration. The chosen architecture for this new engine was a 90 degrees V8 that offers more power density than the original configuration and allows the usage of a great portion of the original engine parts. Changes in the engine block and crankshaft were made as well as to the engine mounts. These modifications and the design of the engine were made with the CAD software SolidWorks. With the aid of the CAE software GT-Power,1-D thermodynamic simulations were performed. The engine got up to 217 kW at 11,000 rpm. With the same software, the magnitude and direction of the forces in the engine block and main bearings were obtained.
