the bolt heads would be sealed with tamper-proof indicators

it's not as if they just trust the teams not to open 'em up

back when it didn't matter, Ferrari used to go through around 150 engines per season...

With budgets running to hundreds of millions of dollars, counterfeiting a few stickers and/or bolts would be trivial... :O

Hmm I wonder why "high mileage" Ferrari engines don't seem to blow up... :P Just saying...

( ok I know they did blow quite a few early on in the season hence their predicament... just stirring some sh&t :) )

Red Bull's dilemma continues as Sebastian Vettel remains the man to beat on track but Mark Webber, in his own words, inconveniently has more championship points. All the evidence suggests Vettel will again be quicker than Webber in Abu Dhabi, although he has promised to do what's best for the team, which could mean ceding position to his team-mate. But if he does so, the champagne on the podium will taste incredibly bitter as he thinks back to his seven pole position that didn't result in wins, the three 1-2 victories where he led Webber and, not least, that very costly accident in the sphincter of the universe.

hmmmm... would he really do that? Is it possible that vettel isn't a massive tool?

I highly doubt it.

is massa under threat for next season?

these guys keep going on about it

I can't see who would take his seat, Kubica is having Renault build their car around him, same with Vettel. Webber maybe? It would be interesting if Webber does go to Ferrari, that way we will have a yardstick to measure Vettel's talent vs Alonso.

Though, Massa's probably the kind of teammate Alonso wants, docile and whipped, unlike Hamilton. :)

Yeah the problem is he won't make the decision till the last lap, and if Alonso is right up Webber's bum it would be pointless.

I just hope nobody gets taken out... just a little *pop* from the Ferrari on lap 3 will do... :D :D Then Vettel can get the win, and Webber the WDC :cool: EDIT: nm that doesn't work

Nope, MW needs both SV and FA to finish or both to crash/stop. He will almost be cheering on SV to run first for all but the last lap and FA for 3rd or 4th place.

The only other wildcard is if LH can hold 3rd then SV is free to turn his engine into a shower of sparks.

That's what I mean, even if it was Vettel, Webber and Alonso in that order on the last lap, if Alonso is too close to Webber, Vettel can't slot in between Webber and Alonso, so it would be pointless then to try and give Webs the win.

Oops sorry, I misunderstood the meaning of "pop".

Yeah I meant a Ferrari conrod fireworks display :cool:

Ironically MW's biggest threats are his best chance if they can circulate reliably....or catastrophically crash into each other.

Unfortunately for Webs, he's more likely to be tangling with Alonso than Vettel is, based on recent performance...

EDIT: Oops I forgot, if SV wins and Alonso is out of the picture, he gets the WDC based on number of wins, not Webber... so yeah, Alonso's engine popping is not good news for Webber either... :)

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
