    Golf Stiffness
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on obtaining the stiffness and damping coefficients for the front suspension of a 2003 VW Golf IV 1.6 16V to aid in calculating the car's transfer function. A user requests specific values for stiffness (K) in N/m and damping (C) in Ns/m. Another participant suggests that more detailed information about the suspension type and coil spring specifications would be helpful for accurate calculations. They also recommend testing for the damping coefficient and exploring race car suspension resources for further insights. Accurate coefficients are essential for completing the user's project effectively.

stiffness and damping coeficients of a VW Golf

Hi!
I need information about the VW Golf IV 1.6 16V(2003). I need to estimate and calculate the transfer function of the quarter model car so i need the coeficients of stiffness (K) (N/m) and damping (C) (Ns/m) of the front suspension, its important to complete my work so i'll be very grateful if someone can help me.

Thanks!

Hi cvy-extroid - as a fellow new person to PF I feel bad that you haven't had any responses - perhaps you can be more specific as to your needs?
 
Hi! cvt-extroid
what is Suspension type.I think that is technical data.Do you know data of coil spring
example total turn,wire diameter which if know I can calculate for you but damping coeficient I think you should test and calculate.
 
read race car suspension class on this forum...you can get pretty good idea of weight trnasfer and required springs shocks etc...
 

Thread 'A practical way to vaporize fuel for high MPG?'

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
