Using a computer to predict engine performance

My university project brought me together with Neels van Niekerk, who wrote the software (EngMod4T) which was used for my project.

The good correlation on my project between the computer simulations and my dyno results piqued Brian’s interest and the next step was a no-brainer….

Next we tackled Brian’s very own 993 Supercup… and it was executed methodically the Brian White way. No shortcuts here!
• His engine was measured up meticulously and all the dimensional parameters were entered into the computer model
• My computer simulation was executed and validated against numerous previous engine configurations which Brian had extensively documented.
• Only then did Brian “trust” the computer simulation enough for me to proceed with “what if we change this?” and “what if we change that?” What if we change them together?….etc etc.

It is not every day, that you get the opportunity to play with a 993 cup engine.

It is even more rare to convince Brian White to cut and change his ITB lengths and exhaust primaries and secondaries.

It is priceless when you achieve significant improvements on an already competitive engine package!
