This week we decided to not go into class and work on our project at home. We are still in the research area regarding to the project. I must say it is still very hard to find good information regarding the project. Yes there are kits available out there but it seems to me that the companies which develop those kits are keeping all of the information to themselves.
Within our research we found out that the retro fit exhaust brakes were fitted to vehicles with relatively large diesel engines. For example a cummis 3litre 6cylinder diesel engine. New Zealand being a small nation has a small fleet of vehicles. We seem to like our small diesel engines and not many of us have large diesel engines. Will our project work for small diesel engines too? Will small diesel engines need an exhaust brake kit? So many question with no means to answers them. Looks like we need to discuss these points with Anura.
Lastly we have decided that our project will be virtual therefore we require the use of solid-works. Quest for finding someone with solid-works has begun.
