Optimization of the B10s1 Engine for Corsa with Adaptation of the Cylinder Head of a Spark-Ignition Engine and Validation on a Chassis Dynamometer to Verify Its Power

In the automotive fleet, the improvement of performance and power have a significant growth, these parameters are evidenced in high-end vehicles with high costs. In common vehicles, these improvements can be obtained with adaptations to the combustion engine. The objective of this research is to improve the performance of the engine by adapting a cylinder head. A Chevrolet Corsa B10S vehicle is selected. The engine power without modification is determined using a chassis dynamometer. The impact on the mechanical performance of the vehicle is given by the adaptation and modification of the cylinder head of an Aveo Activo 16 valves with independent ITBs for the intake manifold, modifications in the exhaust manifold with independent outputs (header), improving the intake and exhaust of gases in the spark-ignition engine. The method used will be the experimental one, making adjustments in the distribution with two camshafts and timing belt, optimizing the maintenance. It is also concluded that as the percentage of air-fuel increases, a better torque and power performance will be obtained in relation to the standard engine.
