its not an expensive thing at all.
I charge a base 400 for 16Vs...........and silly mods like forged pistons cost 600 quif for the F7, viper costs 250, chips cost 250......so, interms of VFM and total potential output, nothing really compares.
And contrary to what Alex said, there is alot...
not really.
probs really really dirty coolant system.
Mine runs high and looses pressure as a naturaly......but thats at about 5000rpm 115 deg etc etc.
Couthard is parp..........
The only reason they are using the 17 is because there is no point swapping to the less reliable 18 when its only a fraction slower.
The Renault is fatastic, true the 111 deg engine is underpowered but the mechanical grip and aero simplicity is great. The rear...
Raikkonen hasnt shone like he sould of. With the best designer Newey behind him he has the most advanced chassis on the grid, and isnt 80bhp down on the competition.
Hes not useless, but hes close to becomming a barichello or couthard soon, unless he either pick up asap or takes a few years...
And how much of F1 is about taking it easy?
Its all about the best, its all engineered to last the desired time, the drivers are there for the simple fact that they are the best. If it messes up, then thats racing.
No F1 team strives to make constant 2nd places.
increasing the actual throat does nothing really until you race the flow limits of the valve size and up them.
How much power, its doesnt work like that.....you might increase flow by 2% if you have a dab of luck, but you could just as easily loose 5%.
I really wouldnt bother touching it...
as long as there is enough tension on your belt it should be fine.
The tensioner is just a pulley on an eccentric spindle.
Talk to the people who did the work since they would of made the problem most probably.
And how can you have adj pulleys on the inlet cam, the cam phaser is situated...
if you attack it with the traditional dremel thats numptey move number 1.
basically i highly recommend you dont even attemp it if you dont understand the principals of what you are trying to acheive......like being handed the ingredients for beer and trying to make beer....you might get...
the new user on here 123456 has informed me he has 176bhp ATW from a chip, induction and lightweight pulleys (which ones or all i dont know) and ran a 14.3
now before everybody jumps down his throat with the wild claims, give him a chance.....hes new and you all know how many new uses you all...
but where did u get your info from then?
its not a matter of the pure processing power of a 1.5ltr, the actual gas volumes due to the rpm and boost (when it comes on) are more than enough. When you start making boost, you start increasing waste gas production with the mroe fuel you burn and...
Wonder why our figures are so different?
Im not atop of drag racing at all, to me its one of the more pointless pinnacles of engineering, might as well strap an engine to a rack and send it off. So i wont force my info on that upon anyone. Any recent documentation i could read on that, would...
ok, its logical to debate over this.........BUT.
All competitive turbo engine by mid 80s were running 1000bhp from 1.5 ltrs, in 1988 the BMW 4 clylinder pushed out 1300bhp and would push 1500bhp for short periods from a paltry 1.5ltrs, it was also the same year that they intorduced a...
nope.......
its an open diff, but if the path of resistance is near the same and you break traction on both sides, then itll spin both wheels easy.
In the wet even mid corner its easy to break traction on both tyres, in the dry, a tad harder.
