2004 BorgWarner Louis Schwitzer Award Presented to Honda
INDIANAPOLIS, May 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The 38th BorgWarner
Louis Schwitzer Award has been presented to Yasuhide Sakamoto,
Steve Eriksen, Steve Miller, and Steve O'Connor for the Honda
HI4R-A engine. The annual award recipient is selected by engineers
and presented to engineers for innovative engineering excellence in
the field of race car design. Honda designated their new 3.0-liter,
HI4R-A, to address the 2004 IRL rule change which required reduced
displacement. Considerable development was required to recover the
horsepower loss and ensure durability for 500 miles. Honda focused
their development efforts utilizing computer modeling. Extensive
use of engine simulations reduced the time spent on performance
testing. The time gained was spent on the durability testing.
According to Steve Holman, Chairman, BorgWarner Louis Schwitzer
Award Committee, "Honda also developed several innovative features
that directly helped recover the lost engine power that the IRL
rule changes created." Honda's goal is to recover all the lost
horsepower by the end of the IRL season with future refinements.
