Revetec X4v2 Germany
University Testing Update - 02/02/2009
The Directors are
pleased to advise that the X4V2 prototype engine has
recently been tested in Germany by a prominent
University. We estimate that testing and engine
evaluation is now 80% complete. The analysis and
simulation is nearing completion, using data measured
from tests already performed. We are currently modifying
the engine with the help of the University, with testing
to recommence during late March, 2009. The final stage
of the testing should only require 2-3 weeks to
complete... Click

X4v2 Engine Independent
Certified Testing at Orbital - 31/03/2008
The Directors are pleased
to announce that the X4v2 petrol engine achieved a
repeatable Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC) figure
of 212g/kW-h (38.6% engine efficiency) with a best
figure of 207g/kW-h (39.5%) at our requested target test
of 2,000rpm with a BMEP load of 450kpa (approximately
75% load) and an air/fuel ratio of 15.2:1 using 98 RON
petrol and a 10:1 compression ratio. We also achieved a
BSFC figure under the same rev and load conditions using
an air/fuel ratio of 14.5:1 of 238g/kW-h (34.4%)...

First Road Test Day for
the X4v2 Report - 5/02/2008
On the 25th of January
2008, Shane and Gordon Subloo travelled to Revetec's
factory to test run the X4v2 engine in their HS4 trike
for the first time. After initial preparation, Shane
drove the trike through traffic to feel its
responsiveness and acceleration as well as drivability.
We then tested the trike at light throttle response
where we found the engine to deliver acceleration well
above a conventional engines characteristics. As the day
progressed Shane tested the acceleration at higher
throttle openings...
