BMW Brabham BT52 Formula One 1983 -- Dyno Run with glowing headers

[@holeshotshane6344]

I love how the most powerful engine ever put in an f1 car is a little turbo 4 banger

[@alexwright6038]

What is more it was a standard road car block. Usually aged in the rain for a year, preferably having done 50000 miles in a road car. This was done to weed out imperfection in the block, as they would have caused a failure by then. Poor Renault with their purpose built turbo race engine, getting beaten by a pumped up road car engine.

@@alexwright6038Thankyou for that information. Amazing how aging processes make things stronger.

Turbo 4 bang the world

[@FlavioSpirit]

Boa noite meu Amigo !!!! Que motor fantástico. Com esse motor que o nosso Grande Campeão Nelson Piquet, ganhou o seu segundo título Mundial. Só saudades....... Muito obrigado pelo vídeo e parabéns pelo canal. Abraço do Brasil.......

[@Juggernaut30]

Schönes Video und sehr schöner Bericht! Hätte nicht gedacht das so ein Museumsstückchen doch noch soviel Arbeit macht!

[@utube321piotr]

Would be nice to see Nelson Piquet drive this car once again.

4 cylinder sound better than modern V6 hybrid 🙃

Amazing sound !!!

The Best Looking F1 Car Ever !!! ! !!! :-)

[@dolphinsattack]

I'd be happy if modern F1 went back to these types of race cars i.e. = Weight of car = 1,190 pounds or 539 kilos. Rear tire size = 420mm or 18 inches wide. Engine = 1.5 liter inline 4 cylinder turbo. I'd keep the advanced sequential gearbox in carbon fiber case. Since the engine would be more simple and less costly to make I'd let teams spend more money on more advanced aero package... Lower to the ground, lowered height. Ground effects for the under tray. Active suspension.

[@motokrack]

f1 sucks

[@S85B50Engine]

The problem with ground effect is that the G forces are too high even for F1 drivers. Niki Lauda said that after he raced the Brabham Fan car, he said the car felt like it was on rails, but he was clearly physically exhausted.

[@Rottensteam]

@@S85B50Engine the G forces were much lower back then compared to today. Drivers just weren't used to it back then.

[@paulp1450]

The manufacturers would never agree. Plus, F1 has always been the racing business that brought us all these new technologies, I can't see that changing.

[@paulp1450]

@@kirisaki.777 I think you're arguing about their motive for bringing the latest tech. Same result.

And I was proud of my 136cid engine for making 120hp...

Beautifull garden at the end

[@josvandencamp8441]

What a great engine and based on the M10.

[@olivertoeknuckleiii2093]

Cyl # 4 looks a bit rich. I spoke to Piquet about driving this. He said “tach is useless. When head snap forward due to rev-limiter, you grab another gear. You shift gears almost as fast as you can ‘row through the gearbox.’”

[@texasmr2]

That engine was as insane.

[@marcosbatistacarvalho9148]

lindo demais som incrivel .............

[@OfficialSVSTAIN]

Why does the exhaust glow purple and not red?

[@jokiiiiiiii]

titanium glows purple when around 1300-1500 degrees.

[@jacktorrance7847]

Kristo Nuut titanium doesnt glow purple, it does go purple after use but those wouldnt be titanium headers. The purple glow is from a crap infrared filter on the camera

[@xXturbo86Xx]

Jack Torrance infrared filter.....are you on drugs?

[@RHBTurbochargers]

they are inconel. titanium is way too volatile

[@gigizack]

The only thing I know is that Ti alloys would disintegrate at those temperatures

[@CesarAugusto-tq5gm]

Mas em quanta potência chegaram neste teste?

[@fernandosfjr]

Nelson Piquet had to tame that little monster race after race in 83. Incredible power.

[@mas_v70]

What turbo did they use??

[@KitKitChanIsaac]

A KKK turbo bigger than my future

[@VolkerDau]

Tolles Video! Es gibt auch noch ein 30 Jahre älteres vom Prüfstand mit dem leider kürzlich verstorbenen Paul Rosche der den Motor und die Turbofunktion erklärt! Wo wurden denn die Rollouts gemacht? Scheint ein Militärflughafen zu sein.

Has this Engine a Cross Plane Cranke?

[@CaOak]

I think I know this place at the end of the video... Is it aorund the Industrie- und Gewerbegebiet Pferdsfeld, in Bad Sobernheim?

[@ricardomoco1942]

Sou leigo, mas gostaria de saber que resultado eles estavam buscando ali, e porque os canos foram ficando florescente aos poucos. Grato.

[@stanvann8347]

So, what was the horsepower? That's why we came to watch.

[@catalintimofti1117]

Estimated 1400 peak BMW dyno maxed out at like 1280 so no one really knows for sure

[@diegosilva3816]

Só o Nelsão p doma esse motor. Ele dizia que pilota o Brabham BT 52b com o motor BMW era mesma coisa que dirigir uma cadeira elétrica.

I like the glow of exhaust pipes.

[@thereluctantgearhead4544]

Helps when BP or Shell is paying for it.

[@almcconahay9064]

Has anybody ever verified those outrageous horsepower numbers or has it become mythology....I realize its technically do-able on a dyno with a lot of tricky stuff...but not believable for a road race car. I spectated at a couple of F1 races in the mid 80's and IMHO, the cars were nothing like 1hp per lb

[@martincosby9743]

I've been going to F1 races since 1980 and I can verify that the figures were pretty accurate. I was at Silverstone in 1985 when Keke Rosberg set the famous 160mph average speed lap for pole position. I watched transfixed as he went through Clearways to complete the lap with a deflating left rear tyre: on opposite lock, leaving huge black lines on the tarmac, mist of unburnt fuel spraying out behind him, flames as he changed gear. Spectacular. Also don't forget in those days the engines were burning Tuorine, which is basically a rocket fuel. Read the interviews with the drivers too - it was clear those cars were way overpowered.

[@marguskiis7711]

This engine put out maximum 850 hp with 5 bar turbo boost.

[@Enthropical_Thunder]

On a training lap it could output up to 1200hp. You can look this up. They dialed it down for the actual races but it should have had up to 900-1000 hp.

[@emelle1283]

what makes you say that? they were insanely fast - 0 - 200kph in 4.8 seconds. yes they were at around 1 hp per lb.

[@DDBmaster]

@@marguskiis7711 1.450 max hp on qualifying. 5.51 bar / 80 psi of boost. Freaking 1.5l engine block

[@4622201]

1000 Hp

[@farrinmccahill6920]

VW 1800, big turbo,yes

[@bingrasm]

Just the sound could make you addict to it, when they put the maximum bar at 2.5, and then simply banned the turbos i stop watching it. They already made mess when impose the fuel limit, so others with more experience win almost all the races ( McLaren Porsche) the Brabham BMW was the team who put some fight.

[@forsakenoutcast]

Didn’t even hit boost.

[@fasterandnoiser]

7500 rpm

That is dieter zetsche learning how a proper engines are made for f1,later on he probably copy paste the bmw.joke for zetsche.
