2014 Renault F1 engine....

[chettle]

[YOUTUBE]g8jz_Dgb8D4[/YOUTUBE]


1.6-litre, 90-degree, V6 with intercooler.
15,000rpm rev limit.
Single turbo, max boost of 3.5bar, with said to be near-zero lag.
Around 30% more efficient than current 2.4-litre N/A V8s. 100kg limit on race fuel.
Direct injection, four valves per cylinder.
The 2014 engine uses two MGUs (motor generator unit); an MGU-H (H for Heat – exhaust energy recovery) and MGU-K (K for Kinetic – kinetic energy recovery during braking). These MGUs add power to the combustion engine to a much greater extent than current KERS system; some 160+bhp.

Doesnt sound as bad as i thought they would!

 

[Foxspeed]

still a bit flat sounding compared to the n/a v8...

 

[N0ddie]

Will sound a lot different when driven in anger and under load.

Do we know what the output of these new F1 engines is going to be ?

 

[Foxspeed]

its said 600hp engine and 160hp via the energy recovery systems

The aim is to be on the same level as this current years, lots of power being made up by KERS and another gadget which name escapes me atm 800odd bhp is the aim

Angel will it fit your Clio ???

A 1600???!!! :banghead::banghead::banghead:
Surely we can squeeze more out of our 2.0's then?

running 3.5bar of boost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Yiannis197]

running 3.5bar of boost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sweet jesus...3.5 bar and 15k rpm, 1.6 lt! WTF!!!!

im sure if u spent a similar ammount on R&D then yes, you would indeed get more power out of our 2l's

the 80s bmw megatron 1.5 turbo at one point was running at 5+bar of boost 1300hp in quali iirc :lol:

and thats the problem with the new fia rules...it favours turbos engines...not exactly generating true innovation!

I guess the innovation is on crappy electric circuit boards and plastic fins on rims rather than actual engine development.

On the plus side, Bernies getting old, so hopefully it wont be long before some propper engines return

lots of power being made up by KERS and another gadget which name escapes

The whole system is going to be called "ERS" (Energy Recovery System) and it's going to be made up of an MGU-H (Motor Generator Unit - Heat) and an MGU-K (Motor Generator Unit - Kinetic). The MGU-H is a motor/generator connected to the turbo, and the MGU-K is the motor/generator connected to the crankshaft (basically today's KERS).

They both feed power back into the same battery, or directly to each other. So you can use energy recovered during braking to keep the compressor spinning even off throttle, or you can use excess turbine energy that would normally be lost (due to a wastegate) to supplement the MGU-K and drive the crank This is helpful because of the 100kg/h fuel flow limit.

The last page of the FIA regulations shows all the parts of the system: http://www.fia.com/sites/default/files/regulation/file/2014-F1-TECHNICAL-REGULATIONS-111212.pdf
