LMS-EFI Sponsoring NIU and CU SAE Efforts

[C. Ludwig]

We take a good deal of interest in the student SAE programs, and this year we're stepping up to assist the efforts at Northern Illinois and Cedarville (OH) Universities.

The NIU project is their SAE Supermileage effort. http://students.sae.org/competitions/supermileage/ In this competition students design and build a car that will be scored on design and overall fuel economy. The cars are powered by highly modified Briggs, single cylinder engines. The NIU students selected a Haltech Sprint 500 ECU to power their car.





The Cedarville Formula SAE Team chose a Platinum Sport 1000 to control their Suzuki GSX-R600 engine. Among other design features, the power plant is being fitted with a hand formed carbon fiber intake built by the team to their specs. The machine work they've done on the suspension pieces is also pretty impressive. Check out the team, their car, and keep track of their project here. http://fsae.cedarville.edu/
