RE-ENGINEERING OF THE AIR INTAKE MANIFOLD FOR UTP FORMULA CAR

Formula SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) is a car racing competition whereby the competitors have to design and fabricate the vehicle. The racing car must have a powerful engine that generates the highest possible amount of power and torque within a specified range of speed. To meet this con...
