Honda Fit Engine in Formula Ford Proposed Rule Package
Honda Fit Engine in Formula Ford Proposed Rule Package has been posted as a PDF.
The following information will be published as suggested rules changes in the September Fastrack. Because these proposed rules represent a major change for Formula Ford, the CRB is releasing the information now to give the membership as much opportunity to consider it as possible.
The response to the August Fastrack “What Do You Think” request for comment on the proposal to add the Honda Fit engine to Formula Ford has been largely positive. The recommended rules changes below provide the specifications for that engine, as it would be used in FF, if member comment is sufficiently positive and the BoD approves them. There are some dimensions and part numbers that are listed as “to be supplied by HPD”. In some cases, HPD did not have time to provide them. In others, final values will not be determined until production parts are available. (The test engine installation was done with prototype parts.) The complete engine package with production parts will be dyno tested before the final intake restrictor size and ECU map are set. Because HPD will not begin production runs of castings and other components until after BoD approval, engine kits are not expected to be available to competitors until about 2/1/10. Thus, the tentative effective date of the rules changes is listed as 3/1/10. It is possible that this date will change after approval by the BoD.
