I never realized how hard it would be to find those locally but both were able to get them incredibly quick considering the little - to - no notice I gave them. Thanks again! I know there are quite a few UB Engineering guys on here, if anyone is interested in joining the team for next year, they will certainly be looking for some good dedicated guys. I’d be more than willing to meet anyone at the shop if they wanted to check things out. 2010 SAE CSC Link: [http://www.mtukrc.org/snowmobile.htm](http://www.mtukrc.org/snowmobile.htm) UB SAE Clean Snowmobile Team Link: [http://ubsaecleansnowmobile.shutterfly.com/](http://ubsaecleansnowmobile.shutterfly.com/) ---

This engine runs on regular street diesel? Why has no one swapped one of these into a motorcycle yet??? Wouldn’t you get like 200lb/ft and like 100mpg? God I wish I could fabricate or had alot of money. Oh yeah, sweet sled! Congrats on everything. ---

That’s pretty fucking cool! I know it’s not the main part of the competition, but how much power does it make? ---

> [@Copper280z](#): > > That’s pretty fucking cool! > > I know it’s not the main part of the competition, but how much power does it make? It puts down about 52 hp and 70 ft-lbs at about 5500 rpm. As much as it isn’t the main part of the competition, the sled still needs to have the performance aspect. It is great to have low emissions and great fuel economy, but if it doesn’t out perform a golf cart it isn’t a feasible design alternative. ---

Edit: The Formula team used to be competitive back in the 90’s, but at least during my tenure always seemed to attract the biggest douchebags who had no real interest in building a car or trying to learn and only ended up wasting a ton of money on a car that would never go to competition. ---

Any idea on weight of sled? I’d imagine this might be an ideal set up for a work sled. Good mpg and awesome reliability although cold and diesel fuel aren’t the best of friends in the morning. :tup: I like it. ---

Are the hp/tq figures at the track or at the crank? If it’s at the track, that’s awesome. If not, it’s still a great setup for mileage. ---

The glow plugs with a 2 minute afterglow take care of any cold start issues. [quote=“brent\_strong,post:13,topic:152079"”] Are the hp/tq figures at the track or at the crank? If it’s at the track, that’s awesome. If not, it’s still a great setup for mileage. [/quote] The hp/tq numbers are from the crank. We’d like to get numbers at the track to see how much loss we have through the drive line, but it still moves very well. ---
