Yeah id have to agree there, Im a big follower of the F1 and chances of those figures being exact is slim, not to mention they usually like to match engine power to certain circuits. Renault actually recently went through with a engine upgrade for this weekends canadian grand prix with a myriad of changes resulting in alleged increased power.

I think in F1 they spend more in one race than a leading V8 supercar spends in the whole year, does that explains it?

I remember somewhere that bridgestone quoted for every tyre that makes it to the track atleast 10 would have been used up in testing

Fomula 1 car's HP

  Teams             PS  

1. BAR-Honda    925  

2. Ferrari           915  

3. BMW              905  

4. Toyota           890  

5. Renault         885  

6. Sauber          880  

7. Mercedes      875  

8. Jaguar          870  

9. Jordan-Ford  840  

10. Minardi        830

no ownder Honda is so fast. The different between best and the worst is 95hp :)

yeah, but jaguar is known to have a fast car. as seen by webbers qualifying and practice capabilities.and theyre number 8. its just that it struggles to finish.

i think the problem with jag is cosworth......americans are useless pricks!

nevertheless Jag are in trouble next year with HSBC likely to back out so Webber better leave as soon as he can

Cosworth is British and their achievements in any form of racing can not be scoffed at.

They supply three F1 teams (Jordan, Minardi and Jaguar) with engines, albeit they are all different to each other.

Jaguar's engine is a brand new design and still under some sort of development. They only had 1 engine failure this season and it was electrical. Webber still managed to finish 13th in that race.

Michael Schumacher won his first championship driving a Cosworth powered Benetton in 1994.

Enough of Cosworth, where did those power figures originate from...? Do they have dyno graphs...? :bahaha:

Cosworth is without a doubt English!

I'm sure I remember M schumacher saying a while back that none of the cars are over 1000hp presently and it was unlikely they would break that barrier in the near future, which at least partially supports the list above. More gains were to be made from aerodynamics

Nissan would be mad doing f1, i remeber Toyota claim to be a dominate team by the third season, and where are they at the moment? after spending Well over $100 mill. euro last year. F1 is a case of having the techno resource pool to go looking for results, Something that money cannot solve overnight.

i thought the exact same until I heard james alan on the commentry saying that it was american based....Im sure that Jordan and Jag are using the new spec cosworth engine although I am deffinite that Minardi are using a lower spec but better in reliabilty, having said that their lap times are 2sec quicker than last years and are fairly close to Jordon this year.

i dont think horspower is as much of an issue as you guys are making it....its the whole package, especially aero, reliabilty, low centre of gravity and balance that makes a good racing car.... and everyone in the paddock knows who has the most hp as everyone knew last year that williams had the most (which was most noticeable on long straights) yet Ferrari still claimed the world and constructors championship!

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
