Help us out: Forced Induction Scenarios

Am I wrong or was told to generic scenarios? I see scenarios written explicitly i6 i4

ps: working on mine

Attack on Germany
Scenario Description:
Are you an engineer "Bianchini Spa" famous for its family cars. In 1984, wants to enter his own car model in the category of luxury sedans. The car should be competitive against the German manufacturers, so it must have good reliability, a good dose of power and does not cost a fortune, after all we earn something. For the rest you have carte blanche, you can use all the technologies available to you.

(optional there may be limitations on the size of the motor in terms of height, depth, width)

Technical Limitations:
Tech Level: max 1984
RON: Regular (Un)leaded

Technical Specifications:
a) Power better than x (30%)
b) Economy better than y (5%)
c) MTTF in Mrevs better than z (40%)
d) Cost less than w (25%)

mine seems rather open ended ?

Scenario Description:
2010, Germany. The ever increasing environmental conciousness and the recent global recession has brought large capacity naturally aspirated engines under severe scrutiny.
A well established German performance saloon brand wants to develop a new powerplant for their latest performance flagship saloon. In order to remain revelevant they want you to utilise forced induction to produce an engine more fuel efficent and powerful whilst reducing engine size for maximum marketability. Can you take up the challenge?

Technical Limitations:
Manufacturing year 2010
Capacity no greater than 4400cc.
Forced induction only.
Loudness less than 60.
Emissions less than 0.1.
Premium Unleaded (95RON).

Technical Specifications:
a) Power greater than x (30%)
b) Economy less than y (40%)
c) Cost lower than z (10%)
d) Lifespan greater than q (20%)

Scenario Description:
2000, United States. Your company is about to launch a new luxury flagship model and it needs an engine. This is the largest luxury car you build, so space is not an issue. A high-strung, rev-happy engine is a detriment here. You need to be smooth, refined and quiet, with a wide powerband.

Technical Limitations:
Manufacturing year 2000
Premium Unleaded (95RON).

Technical Specifications:
a) Power greater than x (30%)
Smoothness greater than Y (40%)
Lifespan longer than Z (20%)
Loudness lower than A (10%)

Kazakh Sportscar
1996 - Year ago, your company built a taxi for Kazakh market, and, thanks to guy (Wasn't it you?), who modified the engine for it, it was really successful car. They were gradually widening the range of their models there. Now, they want to create a cheap sportscar for them. And they approached you to create an engine for it. Remember, it must have reasonable lifespan, reasonable power, reasonable cost, reasonable economy, reasonable size and reasonable service costs. And it has to run on crappy fuel, just as the taxi did.

Technical Limitations:
Manufacturing year 1996
Low quality unleaded (RON 80).
Size less than x x y x z

Technical Specifications:
Power greater than X (30%)
Lifespan longer than Y (20%)
Cost lower than Z (20%)
Economy less than A (15%)
Service Costs less than B (15%)

Scenario Suggestion ID: 11

Scenario Description:
it's 2015, after the F1 economic crash cause by boring races the federation deliberated for the creation of a new formula for experimental designs. The objective of this new formula is to promote technical improvements, without arbitrary technical restrictions but with placing far fetched, long term objectives.

You are to design an engine for the 2020 championship, wich was selected from the committee to focus on emissions. Note that the 2020 year regulations also mandate no refuels and no tyre changes, so the engine must run to the end without refuelings with the stated tank upper size limit. (there is no a lower limit so saving in consumption will save weight too!)


Technical Limitations:
standard unleaded fuel

Technical Specifications:
a) engine power more than x (60%)
b) engine wight less than y (30%)
d) fuel consumption less than q (10%)
c) emissions lower than z (00%)

Scenario Description:
It's 2009, a chinese automaker who prefer to remain unspoken is branching into luxury car market copycatting some of the recent hits from western brands*
for the first prototype they are looking for a new engine that could give that premium feeling to prospect buyers on the export market.


Technical Limitations:
more than four pots
unleaded low grade fuel


Technical Specifications:
a) cost lower than x (70%)
b) smoothness higher than y (20%)
c) torque more than z (10%)
e) emission lower than w (00%)
*true story!

Scenario Suggestion ID: 13

Scenario Description:
It's 1985 and the executives of the American car company you work for have decided to create a modern sports car. This will be a big change from the V8 muscle cars the company made in the past and the bean counters have tied your hands and forced you to use an old 8v iron I4 as the base motor. Turbo power is a new and exciting technology that will allow you to breathe new life into this old motor. This is a post oil crisis world so emissions and fuel economy do matter.

Technical Limitations:
I4
8v OHC
Iron block and head

Technical Specifications:
a) Cost lower than X (20%)
b) power above y (40%)
c) emissions below z (20%)
d) fuel economy better than r (20%)

An idea for scenario in earlier time period

Scenario Description:
It's 1953, Evardsen Motor decided to produce model larger than GT it currently produces. It'll be midsized car, able to transport 5 passengers and their cargo. It's handling will be as perfect as GT's. But it also need an engine, able to retain the Evardsen's reputation. Remember, it does not need to be as cheap as Cossack engines, but it also can't be too expensive. It must have reasonable power, but it must be reliable to withstand scandinavian winters. It also needs to have reasonable fuel economy and it needs to be quiet. And smooth. Oh, and don't go with uber-large V8's. while it is not a compact car, and it's engine bay is not that small, it's still limited. Of course, T16 could design this, and he would do it better that you, but he's...ummm...playing Automation board game

Technical Limitations:
size less than w x l x h
Must run on Regular Leaded fuel
loudness lower than l

Technical Specifications:
a) Cost lower than X (10%)
b) power above Y (30%)
c) fuel exonomy lower than Z (20%)
d) smoothness above A (10%)
e) lifespan above B (30%)
