Advance Engine Technology

Program

180 Clock hours- 6 weeks

x

  • Classroom Instruction
  • In Class Lab Demonstration
  • Shop Lab Demonstrations
  • Student Equipment Operation

xxxxThis program is designed to follow a progressive set of courses that follow a proven method of procedures and operations that have been designed based on 30 years of our experience building engines in the Automotive Performance Race Engine Industry and additional information from world renowned Race Engine Builders and their view points and opinions.

x

xxxxThe program Advanced Engine Technology, all Classroom hours are a combined of Classroom Lab mix and all Lab hours consist of demonstration, student participation and hands on equipment operation. 

xxxxThis program is a advance engine program, not for students that are not knowledgeable in general engine rebuilding and repairs. All students applying must take and pass a very basic entrance exam qualifying them as experienced in general engine knowledge and awareness in basic repair and machining procedures. This program is not a general engine rebuilding program, it is designed and dedicated to advance a student into the Automotive Performance Race Engine Industry. In this program we do not teach the operating of machinery, just theory, applied principles and insight.

xxxxThe courses outlined are the most complete and knowledgeable you will find for producing today's performance racing engine technology and have been simplified to allow a student to understand the concepts used and by following a series of procedures that will reward them everyday working in the Performance Race Engine Industry.

Program Description and Insight

x

xxxxAdvance Engine Technology is a program that is designed to offer technology to those that are interested in improving their knowledge in the Performance Race Engine Industry. This program focus is on the information that can not be found in anyone manual, book and or magazine or if at all. Many engine builders and shops are with out this information when trying to engineer a race engine and or the prediction of estimated power out up.

xxxxWe know this to be true, due to the number of shops that call us for this exact information:

x

How to predict peak HP

How to predict peak torque and move it throughout the power curve

RPMS where peak HP will happen

How to control the width of the power band at peak torque to peak HP

What type of cylinder heads to use?

Compression ratio, flow rates, and camshaft duration and their relation to dynamic pressures

Required peak air flow rates needed to make a peak HP value

Required Carburetor size

Fuel Injector size

Throttle body size

Camshaft duration and lift for a particular engine size

Camshaft duration and lift for a particular cylinder head flow rate

Camshaft lobe separation

Intake Lobe Center-line placement recommendation

Valve head sizes and stem sizes

Valve spring rates

Rocker arm ratio

How to improve Horse Power

Required performance engine parts needed

Induction which is better, naturally aspirated or force induction

Required Exhaust and Header sizes

required Engine running clearances

Why Hi Tech Coatings

Required Fuel Octane

Port Volumes

Piston Speed vs. Rod Ratios

Big cube engine design

Stock Car Engine Design

ETC:

xxxxThese are many of the questions that are asked of us by people looking for answers they can not find and probable won't.

xxxxThis program is designed to give a lot of the answers that most people in the engine business don't even think about and second, the true understand of the performance combustion engine in a format that is like no other, yet understandable, you don't have to be a college grad or an mechanical engineer to understand the workings of the internal combustion engine, most engineers have no clue of what's going on in a race engine as a whole. Once a student has completed this program they will be able to select the necessary parts by design and engineer a particular HP package they or a customer wants the first time for any engine combination.
