As i know back in 1986/7 when turbocharging was allowed in F1, Cosworth V6 1.5L running twin turbos and 4 bar boost. gain 1000BHp to 1200BHp ( GBA's )

Formula 1, Turbo V6 Ford, Benetton has 1000 Bhp+ (1986/7)

So the answere is

All F1 Turbo charged 1.5L Engines back in 1986/7 gain 1000BHp+

Gihan is correct. The old BMW and Honda 1.5 V6 engines were the hottest, esp. in qualifying trim, when they went in excess of 1400 hp with the boost turned up, which was more than the team dynos were capable of showing.

Or is this a trick question, Kris?

[Elvis_Pil]

Please no names Kalim

Actually you'll right I was thinking of the monster Honda RA166E that powered the 1986/7 Williams to the constructor's title Those were great seasons what 'ya say KLM? My earliest memories of racing.. watched them on BetaMax if I remember right They were V6's as well

Someone post another question!

[KLM]

Aight, how about this one?

Who was the last driver to win an F1 Championship with a Ford engine? In what year?

[Elvis_Pil]

Easy MS for Benneton

[Elvis_Pil]

[miniace]

Michael Shumacher ,Benetton- Ford B194 V8 in 1994

MINIACE

[Elvis_Pil]

yep it should be 94.. where MS one by one point

[KLM]

Google and Wiki have taken all the fun out of this type of thing. Not that I'm saying that we all don't know these things off the top of our heads or anything..........

Pilawoos don't you think it'll be more fun in a Pub Quiz format? I think CMSC had one not long ago, in such a format, covering local and international racing.

[Saturn]

lol thats why the questions need to be more specialized.. otherwise it'll be no fun with even google-ists being able to answer.. so fire away with the questions.. KLM lay down the format

Wild guess: Toyota Eco??

[Supra_Natural]

Wild guess: Toyota Eco??

umm... Perhaps the Toyota Prius?

[neXGen]

That pic gihan posted has something which looks like a turbo.. seems so but no outlet or inlet in seems lol..

Is not the Toyota Echo a small family car with a norm engine? My guess would be the Toyota Prius, though would hybrid water based combustion engines be applicable?
