Honda F1 project leader Yusuke Hasegawa has outlined a number of reasons why Honda has been struggling so badly in the beginning of the 2017 Formula One season. He confirmed that lots of problems were not discovered while running on the dynamo meter.
I wasn't being serius. Just making fun of how ridiculous that number was.
Should from their jet division, they have supercomputer to crack the internal airflow and plumbing. All possibilities regarding housing, turbine and compressor blade, until the manifold. I dont think its about downsizing, but toward to reduce the parasitic loss and air flow management. Wouldn't big improvement compared to what Mahle done for other manufacturers. Btw, i cant imagine how much money and effort they spend of this PU, much more effort compared to develop their MotoGP bike..godlameroso wrote: ↑19 Jun 2019, 19:19More interesting is what collaboration they could have with the aero department? Maybe regarding the turbine housing? Is it possible they've made the turbo more compact? Maybe found a way to get more energy to the turbine without compromising ICE power? Probably why there is a new combustion engine, turbo, and MGU-H.
If all it means is that the car can harvest X% more electrical energy per lap, that is still a substantial gain. Hell, I'd call it an engineering achievment if Honda can now send more or any energy from the H to the K, to reduce drain on the ES. It would lead to more ES deployment per lap.
I don't think this is a realistic number. When it is only 10HP Honda never would introduce a new engine .
imagine honda racing boss to say .. oh look our collaboration with the Aero engine department with all their knowledge and technology in the area of aerodynamic design, working alongside turbocharger manufacturer IHI.
