if I remember correct one of the manufacturers had something similar back in the eighties. I only cannot remember who.pgfpro wrote:EDIT:
OK I have come to the conclusion that the object in front of the compressor could be some type of anti-surge cover.
Example:
Coming out of an low rpm turn and lost all boost. So the MGUH goes into motor mode and spins the turbo's compressor wheel and turbine wheel to make boost. This puts it into instant compressor surge. So this could be a anti surge cover on steroids.lol
Some GPs this will see as much as a 55% reduction on current capacities in KGs.ringo wrote:Each Grand Prix is about 300km in distance, so i think the 100kg will work all-round.
That is cracked right across the top.langwadt wrote:isn't it a bit odd that it looks like the head is split in the middle right through on of the cylinders?
I'm pretty sure that isn't the turbo that will be bolted to the Renault next year. It looks like an off the shelf turbo to me, maybe a truck version.pgfpro wrote:Thanks for all the pics guys.
I'm pretty sure that's some type of exotic anti surge cover on the front now. In this case the MGUH will be on the front intake side of the turbo under the intake manifold with the coupling going forward from the compressor wheel to the MGUH. This also would explain the anti surge design to bring airflow around the coupling and into the turbo's inlet.
Boys, that's definitely a wastegate.lol Looks like a modified TiAL 44mm. They will probably be running two. One per side?

Non era ancora il rombo del motore V6 Turbo che correrà nel mondiale di Formula 1 nel 2014, ma l'avere avuto il privilegio di stare alla console di uno dei dodici banchi prova di Renault F1 a Viry-Chatillon, ci ha permesso di scoprire quale potrebbe essere la musicalità dei motori che animeranno il Circus dal prossimo campionato, per un periodo di sette anni. Chiariamo subito che non si trattava di un vero propulsore da corsa, ma di un'unità dimostrativa che ha simulato per noi un giro della pista di Monza, considerata, non a torto, la più impegnativa del mondiale per le parti meccaniche. E dobbiamo anche aggiungere che in questo run al banco non è mai stato superato il regime dei 12 mila giri, mentre il regolamento consente di arrivare a 15 mila giri.
Jean Michel Jalinier from Renault Sport F1 also said that Honda could be looking into return with the new engine formula and that they made contact with Simon on that matter.Omnicorse wrote:SECONDA PUNTATA A GIUGNO? Un tempo gli operatori che andavano al banco erano condannati alla sordità: c’era chi si proteggeva l’udito usando le cuffie. Nelle celle di Renault F1, invece, l’insonorizzazione è eccellente: il musicalità arriva, ma è mitigata rispetto ai 130 decibel concessi dal regolamento FIA. Ci mostrano un prototipo del V6 Turbo che gira: l’ago del contagiri non supera mai i 12 mila giri. Si tratta di un’unità dimostrativa e non ci fanno vedere gli scarichi, né dove è stato montato l’Ers (può essere collocato fra turbo e compressore, oppure a monte di entrambi). Viene simulato un giro di Monza, dove il gas resta tutto aperto per il 72% del tempo, ma il divertimento dura poco. Ci hanno promesso che l’appuntamento è rinviato dopo giugno, quando in scena entrerà il V6 Turbo Renault. Quello vero. E allora, probabilmente, sarà tutta un’altra musica…

Fair enough.Of course I don't.
It just looks, to me, to be have a typical production finish on the turbine housing. I have no clue as to its origins.
Also, there is but one entry for the exhaust, which probably isn't the best for use with a V6.
Just needs to be twin scroll.pgfpro wrote:A dual entry turbine has its own issues that require some type of VGT system to make it work proper and F1 won't allow any VGT system in 2014.
Exactly, twin scroll is legal for 2014 and will be done.wuzak wrote:Just needs to be twin scroll.pgfpro wrote:A dual entry turbine has its own issues that require some type of VGT system to make it work proper and F1 won't allow any VGT system in 2014.
