The article deals with structural adjustments and tuning of the combustion minimotor Honda GX160 with the aim to reduce fuel consumption in the operating speed range from 2000 to 3000 min-1. The original characteristics of the minimotor Honda GX160 are compared with the characteristics from engine modifications achieved by changes of compression ra...

Four grades of gasoline fuel-obtained from Iraqi oil refineries-are used in this research to investigate their performance in spark-ignition (SI) engines. These grades are RON 77, RON 82, RON 87, and RON 93. We used a four-stroke, four-cylinder SI engine laboratory rig to conduct the experiments and calculate the engine performance for each gasolin...

... As we can see in the different tests practically all graphs have torque values between 5 Nm and 6.5 Nm, so was we can observe on Figure 12 these three methods match the obtained results and give similar torque characteristic curves. The go kart tests served to validate the values we thought were too low for the Honda GX 160, according to the manufacturer, who says the engine torque is 10 Nm [6]. In car and dynamometer tests we use the same engine and in go kart tests we use a second engine although the same model. ...
This paper aims to validate the construction of an inertia dynamometer. These types of dynamometers allow easy characterization of internal combustion engines. To validate the dynamometer, tests were carried out with the same engine (Honda GX 160) installed in the UBIAN car and kart, which after calculating the inertia and measuring engine acceleration in each test performed, allows to create the torque characteristic curve from the engine.
