compressed air in here

air in here

another thing i am thinking about as I look at the image i just posted is that there are no wastegates. I imagine the the ERS in the turbo would want to be supplied with constant power from the turbine, but would the compressor wheel be fixed to the turbine wheel via a driveshaft as in normal turbo's or is the boost…

yeah, I was referring to a different image, but I have just seen the newly released image of the 2014 engine,

ok, that clears that up. I have seen images of an inital Renault design, although I'm sure the finished product will look a lot different. there was a snorkel type intake running over the top of the plenum to the turbo inlet, much different to the huge airbox on the PURE image. I would have imagined that the PURE set…

sporting regs regarding harvesting/e-propulsion units;

sure about that? that would be the scoop fed inlet which funnels down into the back of the turbo on the blue side as shown. that is typical placement for an F1 air filter

do you have an in depth knowledge of the sporting regs for next year? The injector placement in the diagram seems to go against the new regs, namely 5.10.2

2014 sporting reg

little developments, looked up the reg for fuelling for 2014, and;

Colour me confused, 2014 fueling regs;

I've hear that the ERS bump will be up to 161hp. there are supposedly 3 harvesting points, turbo, trans and heat exchanger.

the current regs on fuel injection, however, with a complete engine change for 2014 the regs will be completely different anyhow. I will have to see if anything has been put in place as of yet for 2014 regs.

air inlet could literally ingest a small-medium dog.

as i ponder this more i wonder just how much combustion pressure there would be at ppp. the injectors would already be getting horribly punished with ridiculous heat but throw in likely huge cylinder pressures and who knows. or maybe i'm thinking too much about this. obviously the engine wizards know way more than i…

the entire induction stroke would be about 4 milliseconds at 18,000 rpm so what you're saying is based on your figure it would be able to fire roughly 8 times in that period. So maybe it is possible. The rail pressure would have to monumental and the injector able to flow a vast amount of fuel. I saw a video of a…

the intake plenums straddle the airbox that feed between the vee into the turbo inlet. i pray to the lord that they add no additonal exhaust off of the turbo and the outlet just spit fire directly out the back.

this seems to highlight the inherent issues with direct injection. despite this being the pinnacle of engine design it is not utilising direct injection. i would imagine due to the pulsewidth needing to be infantessimally small at 18,000rpm that they would just lean out. both exhaust manifolds fed the turbo at 180* to…

Fiat already sell the Dart under the moniker Viaggio in some markets (mostly China) so it's not a stretch to see that happen in North America, although it would be better if it just came over in it's unbastardised form as the Alfa Giulietta.

I could have replied with 'a simple grasp of reading would enable you to realise I never used the word deceleration' but rose above it as it was uncalled for despite the post it was in reply to. Rate of retardation is a term for 'negative acceleration' which is more commonly used when expressing the lowering of an…
