PROJECT FINDING AND ANALYSIS

4.1 INTRODUCTION

Findings and analysis of the project is a project in terms of theory or writing

regarding the function and data about this drift cart for operation in the project area. In

addition, it should describe the results or results obtained after implementing a project that is

implemented works well or not.

This analysis is very useful for user. Then, this type of theoretical analysis is an

analysis using calculations using conditional formulas for each part that used in drift cart.

This analysis can find out the ability of each part

Therefore, theoretical analysis is more suitable for projects that use

mechanical methods. Theoretical analysis can be used for projects that use calculations such

as engine displacement, torque or durability, and the use of mechanical methods.

From the observation done by all in the group, the project has already

indicated some problems and weaknesses due to there were several components that were not

suitable and not capable to do the job properly. The problem is the design itself does not have

proper design to drifting. To solve this problem that was found, a comparison between drift

kart and go kart must be done before building a new design to make sure it can drift. Below

in the table 4.1 is the comparison of design between drift kart and go kart
 Table 4.1: Comparison between drift kart and go kart

DRIFT KART TYPE GO KART

LIQUID COOLED, 4 CYCLE TYPE OF ENGINE 4 STROKE, SINGLE

ENGINE OHC CYLINDER, AIR
COOLED

8.2kW (11.1PS) / 8500rpm HORSE POWER 4.1kW / 3600rpm

11.2N.m(1.14kgf.m)/5000rpm TORQUE 10.3N.m / 2500rpm

Got a short wheelbase for better DESIGN Got a long wheelbase

cornering

Using ankerman steering HANDLING Using anti-ankerman

system steering system

Have a better seat position to SEAT POSITION Don’t have better seat

support hips by lifting the seat position to support hip

in 2 degrees which is flat position

Got gearing for the change of TRANSMISSION Don’t have gearing because

the torque it will overheat the engine

From the result, drift kart design has a better performance in drifting than go kart

design. The reason of re-designed is to make sure the chassis and the handling can handle for

drifting.
4.2 ANALYSIS

with type of engine until the transmission itself.

TRANSMISSION SPECIFICATION:

CLUTCH AUTOMATIC CENTRIFUGAL DRY

TYPE
TRANSMISSION A/T (V-MATIC)
BELT CONVERTER RATIO 2.6 : 1 ~ 0.82 : 1
CONVERTER REDUCTION RATIO 10.552 (53T / 17T X 44T/ 13T)

Table 4.2.3: Transmission Specification

 Also, the main reason this engine is been use is because it has 4 speed
constant mesh gearbox, not like lawn mower engine it just only use single speed
transmission
