Added:
There is an unused engine in Hungary after MembersPage/MarcellGal/EngineSwap project

Marcell is thinking of donating the

* 4 cylinder engine

* related harness

* several ECM-s

to his [old Trefort Agoston high-school] and helping them with some project ideas and consulting, reviewing their progress from time to time.

Big projects:

* engine - fuel injected

* engine - with ECM controlled carburettor (WideBand feedback of course)

* water-brake dyno (see ChassisDyno, but built to the crank, with maybe clutch maintained, but without gearbox and definitely no wheels)

* table-tests (eg. logging factory ECM)

There is significant amount of related

* research

* firmware (microcontroller) programming (C or asm)

* GUI programming

* monitoring and log-analysis (also programming)

for each.

In general, this way students can learn about

* programming

* control theory

* engines

with much more motivation and fun than if they were just assigned dull programming tasks without seeing anything move.

Additional benefits:

* learning English

* working together in project-teams

* using tools like wiki and maybe ofbiz.org
