Fixed image size, was way too big

I was wondering if anyone knew how to properly size a radiator? I'm looking to install one or two small auxiliary radiators from an after market company and mount them as such on my Focus ST: The kit you see in that picture is by Mishimoto. I would get this kit however there have been...

Thanks for the input guys. I'm really actually only interested in the results at WOT now that I think about it. Would it be less of a challenge if I have a set air flow rate at WOT? The reason why I'm trying to do this is because I want to have a visual comparison on how fuel will be distributed...

What I have is an auxiliary fuel kit that is to be installed between the throttle body and the intake manifold. What I want to do is simulate where the atomized fuel would end up in the system at any given air flow rate. Would anyone be able to recommend me a good CFD program to accomplish this...

1.5 meters per second knee speed? That sounds extremely fast. Most curves I've seen are about 2-6 inches per second

So I went about getting a knee velocity of about 6 in/s for compression and 2 in/s for rebound based on the maximum peak velocities. These peak velocities are in the resonant region of their respective damping ratios that are based on the low speed damping values that I've chosen. Sounds good to...

I'm not very concerned about the bias, only the knee velocity. This is for theoretical purposes only

Hey guys I'm trying to figure out the ideal knee speed or velocity split for a particular car that I'm designing. What I'm trying to do is find the knee speed (or crossover speed) of my damper that directly relates to the crossover point in the displacement transmissiblity graph (SQUARE ROOT OF...

I had a feeling that was my only option. That sucks [sad] Thanks for the replies anyways! I guess I'm going to have to look for a local shop that will provide shock dyno services.

I've been a bit lost figuring out what damper I should be using for the front suspension I am designing. Right now I'm running a wheel rate of 60 lbf/in at the front with a ride frequency of 1.2254 Hz. The front is also supporting a sprung mass of 391.68 lbf. Comfort is the end requirement of...

Also I would like to add that the shocks are mono tube nitrogen charged.

Sorry, I wasn't being very specific. I would like to test for all 4 of the damping coefficients. I don't have a shock dynamometer handy so I'm having difficulty figuring out how I can do this.

Have a couple shocks that I want to test for their damping coefficients. Does anyone know any good testing methods that can be done without using highly sophisticated measuring devices to determine the damping coefficient?

I'm designing geometry for the front suspension of a RWD car and I'm looking to buy from a supplier that makes steering knuckles for double wishbone suspension however, I can't seem to find a proper catalog that specifies dimensions such as KPI angle, spindle length, etc. Can anyone suggest a...

Thanks for the reply. Sorry I'm not exactly sure what IRS and ilo mean can you explain? I'm not very familiar with these terms as I'm quite new to the automotive community so please bear with me. [upsidedown] Now regarding designing the front suspension in isolation to the rear, I am actually...

Right now I'm trying to establish my front view swing arm (fsva) length for my SLA front suspension. fsva depends on roll camber which is given by the equation: roll camber = wheel camber angle/chassis roll angle. Easy to apply but I'm finding difficulty in determining what my wheel camber...

Thanks for the replies guys. Right now I'm trying to figure out a good value for %anti-dive. I would assume there is there a general value that I should aim for particularly since this vehicle is mostly for comfort driving. If so, is there a way to determine the ideal coordinates of my side view...

Awesome info guys, there are some very good suggestions here! I'll keep you guys updated with progress as I am still waiting for Henry to provide vehicle specifications. After that we can finally get started with this fun little project [glasses]

Scratch the side-scrub comment. Lowering the front roll center should reduce side-scrub.

So Brian, essentially what you are saying is to lower the roll center (RC) at the front to have less responsiveness compared to the rear as it will have a higher RC? Also, is it common knowledge that semi-trailing arm suspension has excessive camber change, excessively high roll center...
