Hi,
I'm part of a engineering team at uni that designs and builds a small single seat racing car for the Formula Student competition. We are trying to convince our lecturers to switch from a KTM 525 engine to a RVF400 engine.

To do this we need as much information on the engine, ideally a CAD model of the engine. So if any of you guys have any useful links, photos or can give me some measurements of the engine please post them on here,

Thanks a lot Alex

Honda Japan might be your best bet for a full CAD drawing

it will be heavier than the KTM motor... Apprx 60kg without ancillaries..

why not drop Chris @ dynopro racing an email - i bet he can help. i dont know many who know the V4 400 inside out like him

Will give Honda Japan a try!! Is it really that heavy?? thats quite a lot considering its only 400cc, you sure? thanks CRM, I will give him a try

Capacity doesn't have much to do with the weight - it has 2 heads and 4 cams for starters....

60kg is about right.
