All round car designer

Chapter 96 EA888
In the end, Zhu Zhijun still nodded. Whether what Zhou Fei said is true or not, you just need to call Liu Neng for an on-site review tomorrow afternoon.

Deep down in his heart, Zhu Zhijun hoped that the engine designed by Zhou Fei could really be of mass production value. Whether it was suitable for Feiteng Automobile or not, and whether the engine reached the world-class level, it was a kind of progress.

After the two chatted for a while, Zhou Fei came out of the office, hailed a car and returned to the dormitory.

Now that the words have been spoken, the next thing Zhou Fei has to do is to prepare all the materials for the review tomorrow afternoon.

At this time, the system rewards obtained a few days ago came in handy.

In Zhou Fei's mind, he began to quickly search for relevant information about the classic engines of the previous life. To be honest, after more than 100 years of development in the automobile industry in the previous life, there are too many classic engines that have emerged, and there are simply countless.

GM's LS/LT series, Volkswagen's VR6 engine, Porsche's horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine, BMW's S70 series engine, Honda's K series, Nissan's VQ series engine...

Each engine has its own story and brilliance, and has left a strong mark in the history of automobile development.

The engine structure required by Chunqi is limited to the inline four-cylinder.

"For a four-cylinder engine, Mercedes-Benz's M139, Nissan's SR20DET, and Honda's F20C are all good choices. Which engine do you want?"

Zhou Fei encountered happiness troubles. For him who has choice phobia, it is really painful to decide the final option among so many classic engines.

After some comparison, Zhou Fei limited his choice to two engines: Mercedes-Benz's M139 and Volkswagen's EA888.

These two engines are frequent visitors on the "Top Ten Engines" list, and they are also the best among the four-cylinder engines.

Mercedes-Benz's M139 engine is known as "the strongest four-cylinder engine on the surface", with a maximum horsepower of 421ps and a peak torque of 500Nm. It is obviously only a 2.0T four-cylinder engine, but its performance parameters are comparable to ordinary six-cylinder engines!
For performance car fans, this Mercedes-Benz engine is enough to make their adrenaline surge.

Due to the power of the M139, which can be called "explosive liver", Mercedes-Benz's 45 series models equipped with this engine are also dubbed by car fans as the real "buy an engine and get a car".

But in the end, Zhou Fei still set his sights on Volkswagen's EA888 engine.

The reason for choosing the Volkswagen EA888 engine is not that the M139 is not good enough, but because this engine is so good that Zhou Fei is reluctant to take it out for the time being.

What's more, the powerful power of the M139 is based on tedious and meticulous processes. In addition to hand-made, this engine even uses part of the technology of F1!
For Zhou Fei, who started his business for the first time, the production process of M139 seemed a bit complicated.Zhou Fei intends to wait until the future to create the Mercedes-Benz brand before making this engine available.

As for the Volkswagen EA888 engine selected by Zhou Fei, it is actually a very rare four-cylinder engine.

This engine has been launched by Volkswagen as early as 2006. Before Zhou Feiyu, it has been developed to the third generation, including 1.8L and 2.0L displacements, especially the second-generation EA2011 launched in 888. It is also called "an excellent engine that has been reversed and never surpassed".

The EA2.0 engine with a displacement of 888L can burst out a maximum horsepower of 290Ps and a peak torque of up to 380Nm. Although it is not as good as the Mercedes-Benz M139, it can easily beat many six-cylinder engines.

As an engine built by the Volkswagen Group with a lot of money, the EA888 has always been the standard engine for mid-to-high-end models under Volkswagen. We are familiar with Magotan, Golf, Passat and Audi A4, Q5, imported Audi Q7, A7, and even Porsche. Macan is equipped with this engine.

From the perspective of application, EA888 is definitely the main engine of Volkswagen.

Of course, despite the obvious advantages of this engine, it is also accompanied by the frequent failure of the oil-water separator, but compared to its advantages, this problem is not enough to cover up its brilliance.

More importantly, compared with the cumbersome production process of M139, Volkswagen's EA888 is relatively simple, which is suitable for Zhou Fei's current situation.

After making up his mind, Zhou Fei immediately entered the system and exchanged all the technical information of EA888.

"The full set of technology of EA888 is being exchanged... The exchange is successful. The relevant drawings, models, and design instructions have been sent to the player's personal computer. The player can modify the engine according to his needs."

After receiving this news, Zhou Fei immediately turned on the computer. Sure enough, on the desktop, he saw a folder named EA888, clicked on the folder, and all the technical information about this engine was listed in detail.

In addition to the most important technical drawings, there are even production materials of this engine, including process documents, installation requirements of the production line, and according to the actual situation in the world, related machine tools and other production equipment are recommended for Zhou Fei. It can be said that is everything!
It took more than half an hour. After Zhou Fei confirmed the integrity of this information, he began to consider how to make this engine conform to the current actual situation.

One of the highlights of the EA888 engine is that it integrates a series of advanced technologies such as direct injection, turbocharging, and variable valve timing. However, in the current world, EFI technology has not yet been popularized, let alone The cylinder is directly injected, and there is no such concept at all.

Therefore, Zhou Fei definitely cannot copy the original design, and must make certain modifications, such as the fuel injection method, which has to be changed to electronic injection.

Just doing what he said, Zhou Fei quickly opened CATIA, began to modify the relevant structure of the engine, and updated the technical drawings.

Zhou Fei didn't complete all revisions including the process documents until after ten o'clock in the evening.

In this way, the current EA888 engine is fully in line with the current level of automotive technology development in the world.

A little ahead, but not too shocking.

After completing this series of revisions, Zhou Fei used the next morning to make a PPT for review, and printed a copy of important documents for the technical review in the afternoon.

After preparing all these, Zhou Fei let out a long sigh of relief. The next thing to do is to show Zhu Zhijun all these, and then win the engine supply right of Feiteng Automobile in one fell swoop!

***
At this time, Chunqi, Zhu Zhijun was also intensively preparing for the technical review in the afternoon. Although he had a lot of doubts in his heart, since Zhou Fei raised it, he had to make preparations.

What if?
"Old Zhu, this is a typical example of you going to the doctor in a hurry, and you are applying for an intern! I know that you are concerned about the engine project of Feiteng Automobile, and you are also worried that I may not be able to complete the task on time, but you can't listen to a college student. If so?"

After listening to Zhu Zhijun's words, Liu Neng said helplessly.

"Old Liu, Xiao Zhou is not an ordinary college student, he..."

"I know who Zhou Fei is! But knowing fuel injection technology doesn't mean that he can completely design an engine, and give him a technical review when he has free time. I might as well read more information."

"Everyone will be here soon, so just go over and have a look. It will only take half an hour at most. Don't we have to beg others to sell us the EFI technology? If you don't go, in case they are unhappy, we won't sell it. What should I do?" Zhu Zhijun continued to persuade.

"Okay, just half an hour!" After some weighing, Liu Neng finally agreed.
