Could someone please give me a good source (FTP, WWW, etc.) for Engine
Horsepower/Shiftpoint Analysis shareware and freeware programs for
Windows 3.1?  I'm also looking for programs that perform other various
automotive related calculations (i.e. valve sizing, injector sizing,

Advance!

Best source that I have seen is
http://biorobotics.ee.washington.edu:80/BRL/fbody/    This has a great program
for analysing all sorts of things, it is, cartst.zip or something similar. I
downloaded it a few days ago, and it had no viruses then, but check it before
you execute!

This program has a large database of cars, you can add your own. Environmental
conditions can be varied, as well as any other facet og the vehicle. I have
found it to be extremely accurate.

This is a good program, but for real world applications, it is a trifle
optimistic. Best way around this is to vary the coefficient of static friction
from 1.4 to 1.0, and coefficient of dynamic friction from (1.2 or 1.0 from
memory) to 0.85. Otherwise, you will find it accurate, but for autos only.

another good shareware program I have found <which, if I get more then 3
emails will be available from my home page: www.iupui.edu/~blthede>
is cartest.  Unfort my version is 2 yrs old, version number 3.0  if anyone has
a newer one also email me.  

But about the program, you can put in all of the cars you want,  a sample
output would include such information as this for my sunfire:

 6th Gear.....                                                            

this will automaticly find you the best point at which to shift, <but you can
choose where to START the rpms at.>

basicly, I love this program :)

Engine Horsepower/Shiftpoint Analysis Shareware Programs?

by Jan B » Wed, 14 Feb 1996 04:00:00

I have seen the Bowling, cartst and the drag programs...  Nice...
 what I really need is the torque/HP curves from bore/stroke/CR/valves/timing/
intake-volume/ etc etc.
Anyone seen anything like it?

thx
Jan
