Mallard Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Originally posted by Maro: 30 mm stroke? Really?!?!?! Anybody know bore, and displacement on these?This is the only info I could find right now. I know I have a magazine that talks about the bore and stroke of an F1 engine because they were doing calculations to show the mean piston speed of a NASCAR engine and F1 engine were essentially the same, but I can't find it right now. BMW P84 Specifications... Crankshaft Steel Cylinder angle 90 degrees Cylinder head Aluminum Cylinders Four valves per cylinder Displacement 2.998 liter / 182.9 cu in Engine location Mid, longitudinally mounted Engine block Aluminum Engine management BMW Drive Rear wheel drive Fuel feed Fuel injection Gearbox Williams 7 Speed Semi-automatic Oil system Dry sump lubrication Type Naturally Aspirated V10 Valve drive Pneumatic Valvetrain 4 valves/cylinder, DOHC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 More: Did you know... ...that a Formula 1 engine consists of approximately 5,000 parts and that the piston speed at maximum engine speed equals 40 metres a second? Consequently, an accelerative force of up to 9000g can result, whereby the connecting rod has to withstand forces of nearly three tons. "Despite this enormous mechanical strain," says Dr. Christoph Lauterwasser of the Allianz Center for Technology (AZT), "the connecting rods have a filigree design. Using precise computer calculations, every unnecessary gram is eliminated." For example, a titanium Formula 1 connecting rod weighs only 295 grams, while one made of steel for a standard production three-litre engine weighs 545 grams and must bear far fewer loads than Formula 1.
