Does anyone know if current 05 season F1 cars are turboed or have forced induction?. I was always under the impression that it wasnt, and that only Indy cars have turbos etc. :wave:

Theyr na.. more reliable :)
Next season they're going V8 :( I'm going to miss the noise.

:D
Thx for the feedback. So is this a rule that they must be NA?
They banned Turbos on Formula One ages ago.
turboes were banned in the late 80's since then its been all na starting with v12 v10 v8 all 3.2lt then they made a rule in 98 for all to be v10 with a drop in engine capacity 3lt now they have gone v8 2.8lt (maybe 2.6 not to sure) but within 2-5 yrs we should see the same level of perfomance
They are forced induction in the sense that when they're going 300km/h, there's a lot of pressure built up just from the intake. It's certainly not atmospheric pressure.
2005 spec is 3.0L V10. For 2006, it will be 2.4L V8. All NA. The last turbo F1 was during Ayrton Senna's time.
They used to run like 2 bar + or something i think....hahaha, thats some pressure!
Well there's not much room in an F1 for a big turbo and much less an intercooler!
When they allowed turbos, the engines used were 1.3L. 700+hp from a 1.3L turbo... Yum.
So the answer is no.
*Thread closed*
lol
Ill take one?Quote:

I agree though, i'm fairly sure they were 1.5s.
Renaults return in 1977

Returning to Grand Prix racing after an absence of almost 70 years was French car pioneer Renault along with an equally illustrious name, Michelin. It was Michelin that would introduce radial-ply tires to Formula One just as it had led the way with detachable rims at the beginning of the century. Renault also had a trick up its sleeve that would change Formula One in a couple of years. Their cars were powered by a 1.5 liter turbocharged engine which produced approximately 500 bhp. By 1985 turbocharged engines were producing over 1000 bhp.
Honda should release a 1.3lt turbo 1200hp Civic Breeze. :rofl:
haha, the service places would make a fortune, those qualifying spec engines weren't built to last more than a few laps....Quote:

Whoops, you're right. 1.5L. Interestingly, they had a choice of I4 or V6 engines, depending on which they wanted to develop. Surprisingly, I found quite a big difference in power figures. In one year (1985), there are specs for power ranging from 750 to 900hp! http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/frame...fyear=1980#topQuote:

yes they will and higher to gain back lost power. hopefully buy the time they decide they v8's are to powerfull they will be reving from 25-30kQuote:

Don't shit around by telling everyone to change engine size.
From what I have seen on a DVD, the Group B rally cars were just as fast as the turbo F1 cars.
Now think about this, the Group B cars were on dirt not tarmac!
That is amazing.
I personally think they were running (2004,2005) around 1000Hp+ just no one really checked it.
They will make the V8 engines just as fast!
No way you could enforce that, they could instantly switch tune levels if they were told their cars would be tested to keep under the power limit.Quote:

It's putting out somewhere in the region of 700hp for "reliability" purposes....but it's an insane little motor to have a look at. 1.5 litres with a monstrous turbo hanging off it...
the highest power teams were achieving throughout 04/05 were 940bhp to 980bhp. The teams that have already started testing their v8s are claiming well above the 750bhp estimates and 2 are claiming to have made in excess of 880bhp
Honda, Benz(Ilmor-they work with Honda in the states before), Toyota and Cosworth all have experience with racing V8 engines in IRL and CART. Only Ferrari and Renault don't have current V8 experience.
Should be interesting to see who will have the best engine.
Go Honda!!! :D
Ferarri has V8 experience. Their 355, 360 and 430s are all V8s! Hehe. But yeah, I don't think they have racing V8 engine experience.
I don't think Ferrari will have too many dramas in the engine department, what they may lack in V8 racing engine experience they more than make up for in $$$$$$.
Plus, their engines are basically de-tuned race engines anyway, chuck some higher quality componentry in there and you're away.
They should buy an xforce cannon muffler :DQuote:

HAHAHA
Fez will kill it next year
Ford and Holden puff
big old long stroke V8 engine that revs 8000rpm
a Honda VTEC road car can do better then that lol.
