Future Plan

The design discussed will provide a solution to the EGT monitoring system. It is anticipated that this design be implemented in the future to provide the UVic Formula SAE team with better insight to their engines performance resulting in improved engine tuning. During the design process, factors like cost, equipment availability, existing data logging systems, and performance were all taken into consideration. Due to the limited budget of the Formula SAE team, cost of equipment affected our decisions drastically. It is our hope that the Formula SAE team will approve this design and the system will be built, tested and operational by February 2013. It is anticipated that the EGT monitoring system will ultimately result in improved engine performance and better results for the FSAE team at competition, however it is not yet known whether or not the EGT system will provide any useful data, or if the engine performance can be improved with this data.
