development of f1 turbo engines(video)

Ford and cosworth team up to build an f1 engine in 86. Its long but insanely fascinating!

Dont think so otherwise ford would have ruined them already!

Cosworth is the only reason Brits LOVE Fords. Of course we don't care, because we didn't get about 75% percent of that stuff, mk2 etc.

Thanks for sharing the video, I thought it was neat to learn what they did back in the old days. I liked the looks of the engineers on their face when their test motor stopped on the dyno at 10k RPM test run.

Lol yah they just kinda look at eachother. Did you watch part 2? The way the v6 is assembled is pretty crazy. Angled head bolts to help the cylinder retain its shape. It also shows in great detail their trouble with getting the engine managment system to work.
