"Formula One is a great show," says Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel, who has recently lost significant ground to fellow title-contending team mate Mark Webber after making two serious mistakes. "If everything goes well, you are the greatest. If you make an error, and some people simply do not understand exactly the reasons why, then you very fast become the idiot. The most important thing, therefore, is that I know the truth myself.

Yep, which one is it then?

Def no more than 650

I've heard it pretty widely circulated that mid 700's is where its at with the Merc engine probably the pick of the litter, getting up towards 800, this is however BHP I assume.

Back a few years ago I believe it was the Honda that was the pick of the v10's early on, quite high 900's being the given figure.

Ahhhh, I think we had our wired crossed. I thought you were replying to someone mentioning V8 Supercars, not V8 F1 :cool:

Ah, No worries dude :P yeah definitely no more then 650 for V8 Supercar, possibly up from the old high 500's low 600's figure due to the Ethanol they run these days.

F1's quite a bit up and down over the decades due to the FIA dicking the technical regulations every 3 or so years to artificially re zero the competitive ladder.

Change in displacements, cylinder count, number of valves per cylinder, control fuel and temperatures fixing the internal geometry of the engines etc has taken alot of the gloss from the sport for us engineering folk.

dissappointing

red bull i would say now almost certain to do both c'ships. sort of takes the fun out of the rest of the year

thanks for nothing yet again monza. worst track ever

surely something interesting must happen during the race this year.

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
