Formula One Engines?

[tuffAC]

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.

Next season they're going V8 I'm going to miss the noise.

Thx for the feedback. So is this a rule that they must be NA?

[NeoNode]

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!

[Vivski]

Well there's not much room in an F1 for a big turbo and much less an intercooler!

[aaronng]

When they allowed turbos, the engines used were 1.3L. 700+hp from a 1.3L turbo... Yum.

So the answer is no.
