Formula 1 Turbo Engines - How It All Started

[evocarlos]

personally i dont follow F1 but this was very intriguing to me oh and you get to see a cosworth engine blow up
and i can see now why kids of the 90/00 have no idea only how to use an iphone lol

when we were kids they told you how stuff worked in detail

I'll have a look at that later as I love all things F1. Is it the one where they p**s on the block and leave it outside in the rain for months on end?

No that the maclaren garage.

Arr, the one I'm thinking of is BMW I think. They used to take old road used road car blocks and generally not look after them, with the thought being if they've done 100k in a road car then any imperfections in the cast would have manifested themselves by now.

It didn't like 11,000rpm in that first engine.

 

[evocarlos]

they were like hmmm why has it stopped lol
4 cylinder doing 11k rpm did you see how long the valves were it was direct cam drive

 

[Matt]

Yeah.

I'm just at the part where they are assembling the new V6 block

 

[Matt]

That looks like a right ball ache trying to figure why that ECU was shorting out

 

[evocarlos]

i like the fact they had 4 inlet temp sensors to pick from and the ecu was as big a dell desktop pc
