I was having a peak around uni today, and found this beaut, its an old ford v6 turbo f1 engine, but it was the manifolds that interested me.

Yeah they used to run about 60 psi in qualifying then less in the race. The regs said that either a 3000 na engine could be used (ie. Cosworth dfv) or a 1500 forced induction engine. The biggest limit on the boost levels that they could run was that the fuel tanks were limited to 200l and no refuelling was permitted. So if u turned up the boost too much then u ran out of fuel!!! I help to look after some of the slightly earlier F1 cars than these, but the turbocharged cars are not eligible for our championship.

No it looks a wide angle vee. Was looking at a dfv for a little while today at work cos we just got one back from our engine builder. Our rebuilds are about 10k for a normal rebuild and the engine gets new pistons, bearings, fasteners, valve springs etc. They come back looking stunning!!!! |

A quick google revealed three in the US for sale at £15k a piece!! Used in a Benetton in 1986 were a 1497cc engine and produced 1000bhp on toluene fuel and 750bhp on normal(ish) fuel. Can't seem to find anything on compression ratios though. |

Way back in the 80's when Ford no longer had a competitive engine they comissioned Keith Duckworth to design the Turbo V6.The BBC did a two part documentary on the design an testing of that engine.Cosworth started off with the 4 cyl BDA type engine as at the time the Bmw was the best engine,that was a 4pot.The documentary shows them testing it ,it gets to 600ish Hp on the dyno then it lets go.Thats when they decided to start from scratch and build the V6.The documentary was called "Turbo" I think.I've probably still got it on video somewhere,I'll try to find it out and watch it,might get some good ideas off it.
