Optimization of 4-Cylinder Spark Ignition Engine for Fuel Consumption and Vehicle Performance through Cylinder Deactivation and Forced Induction

This project is conducted with the main objective of carrying out simulated engine modification concepts to find the best concept that addresses well on two criteria of the automobile industry, which are low fuel consumption and optimum vehicle performance for a city car. The focus of the project is set on gasoline engine, the more widely used engines for cars in Malaysia. For the purpose of analysis and comparison of the modified engine model, the PERODUA Myvi 1.3 SX is made as the benchmark, with the engine being a 1.3L K3-VE four-stroke four-cylinder gasoline engine.
