Procedure:
A customer has asked you to research and present them a technical report on how to increase the power output of their vehicle power by 10-15% (The vehicle can be a vehicle in the workshop). You must devise methods to gain this power increase (at the axle). Develop a technical report to outline your approach to gain the increase. You must research, analyse and report on the specifications and/or effectiveness of existing or proposed technical systems, componentry, materials and/or processes and those to be implemented. Ensure that proposed modifications are in line with Australian Design Rules, Australian Standards and Vehicle industry regulations.
The report should contain these components:
» Title page
» Summary
» Table of Contents
» Introduction
» Middle sections with numbered headings (i.e., the body of the report)
» Conclusions
» References
» Appendices
