Hello everyone!

I'm Lennart, 19 years old and from the Netherlands.

I'm studying Cartechnics at Bachelor level on the HRO Rotterdam.
I have to make an 3D drawing in 3D design program Autodesk Inventor.

The intention is to draw the following things:

-Crankshaft
-Piston
-Conrods

So I don't need to draw the camshafts + valves.


This was for me the challenge to do this task on the 'Bugatti Veyron 16.4'

Yes indeed... a big challenge



My big problem is only that I can't find any information about the enige

I only know the following thins:

-diameter of the cylinder is 86mm
-stroke is 86mm
-the angle between the two V8's is 90 degrees
-the angle of one separated V8-part of the W16 engine is 15 degrees
-Ignition order of the cylinders: 1-14-9-4-7-12-15-6-13-8-3-16-11-2-5-10

Some basic information:

-16 cylinders, 4 rows of 4 cylinders. And in fact Bugatti (or Volkswagen ..) combined two VR8's into each other on one crankcase.

- the crankcase has for each bearing two piston rods. So not every bearing has an own conrod.. (if you don't understand what I mean with this, watch this video then: http://rowla.dyndns.org/justin/img/piston_v8.mpg )




So my points are the following thins:

- foto's van krukas/drijfstangen/zuigers of iets wat daarmee te maken heeft
-photo's of the crankshaft/conrods/pistons or anything else what has to do someting with it
- engine drawings
- measures
-orders of the crankcase parts, the angle of the parts on the crankcase
-wich cylinder is wich number, otherwise I can not really use the ignition-order

-all other information that may be usable for my drawing project.





When I have completed my drawing, then it's my intention the simulate the 'crankshaft-rods-piston' combination. Ofcourse, when it is finished, I willl show the results here

I'll hope that I can get some usable information here on this forum


Greetings Lennart

No body?

Unfortunately I have never seen drawings of the Veyron engine myself. Of the EB110 engine there are a couple of drawings published in the past. Maybe something can be found in the original (Very expensive and difficult to get) sales brochures of the Veyron.

On Youtube there are a couple of animations of how the Veyron engine is working. I think I have a 3D presentation about the engine at my work. Have to come back to you about that later next week.

Wow that would be great Rivaaquarama!

What kind of work do you do then?

I had contact from a few people who had an official brochure and pressmap, but no technical information about the engine itself.

And the movies on youtube, I have seen them a hundred times Just to get a good look of the engine.. but I'm affraid I need some extra information, that's my purpose of this topic.
