Renault has an impact on every championship. Its hard for one of the manufacturers at the pointy end of the field not to have an impact on the championship. If their car is fast they have an impact, if their car is unreliable that has an impact. That's as it should be.

WHat shouldn't happen, and what I can't recall happening ever before is half the top ten getting wiped out in turn 1 due to one guy's ineptitude. Has nothing to do with other teams reliability issues.

Saying Vettel may have finished second anyway is a massive leap - if you actually read what your disagreeing with yopu'd know he failled to make the top10 in qualy, and his only podium in the previous 6 races came in the wet. RBR didn't have pace at that time of the season, particularly not at Spa. The cars with straightline speed did - Williams, Sauber, Force India, Ferrari, McLaren... Even Lotus were faster than Red Bull there. Vettel was going to at least have a very tough time making up those positions. In fact with their reknowned lack of top end speed, he'd have been lucky to pass anyone at Spa! Postulate on what might have happened as much as you like, the fact is Vettel's main rivals got taken out and Vettel was gifted a bunch of points while his rivals were deprived a chance of scoring any. That's what happened. Its sad that that incident looks like costing Alonso the championship. Vettel will deserve this one about as much as Hamilton deserved his. :P

    • I bought an engine from a friend of a friend many years ago, it was sold to me as a RB25det Neo.    recently I started pulling it apart and noticed that the intake manifold was pretty different from others that I had seen on RB engines so did a bit of research and found that it was a non turbo manifold. So I’m sceptical now that it is a NEO DET and just thinking it’s a NEO DE (it does have a turbo strapped to it currently).    can you identify the engine model from the numbers on the block?
    • Yeah you can. Cable tie the gauge to a windscreen wiper, or run it into the car and hold it with one hand, or have the neighbour's kid run alongside and tell you what it says.
    • I've never understood why this bothers people. Surely you'd be looking at a T3 flanged Garrett style thing, rather than a TD? You're unlikely to push a +T hard enough to need that much fuel. If you're not starting with most of the things you need to do that (ie, the bloody ECU!), you're better off just going Haltech/Link. You wil hate life a lot less. No. Just no. Just turbo it as is.
    • Have you noticed if the squeak changes with temperature or after driving in the rain?
    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks
