When UNDERPOWERED Porsche F1 Dominated With A V6 Turbo

[@superfast30]

I own a TAG turbo valve cover. One of the best looking valve covers ive ever seen on a F1 car. One of the greatest era's in F1!

[@chesspiece81]

It's hilarious that Porsche was able to excel so much with a water cooled engine and the 911 was still air cooled.

[@POVShotgun]

Yeah it’d be like Harley Davidson running twin cam water cooled motors in racing but giving the public what they give them now

[@rockets4kids]

@@POVShotgun For a long time that's what the market wanted. The problem now is everyone who wants a bike like that now has a bike like that.

[@michaelguerin56]

Liquid-cooled engines are reportedly easier to set up for high output because they avoid the heat rejection issues that tend to plague high output air cooled engines. BMW only changed over to air cooled aircraft engines because the Nazi government ordered them to do so. Same with Fiat and Mussolini. That is why, despite having the best aircraft engine research facilities in the world, during WW2, the Italians had to resort to licence production of a Daimler liquid cooled engine. If Fiat had been allowed to stay with liquid cooling, the Regia Aeronautica could have had all the high performance engines they needed. I also suspect, that with Fiat’s research facilities, they would have emulated Rolls Royce by using the high pressure cooling system that was a key advantage over the relatively low pressure system used by Daimler Benz.

​@@michaelguerin56liquid cooling allows control over temperature over all rev ranges allowing closer tolerance and radical Timing etc. The most power ful engines in ww2 where radial air-cooled , notably the focke wolf 190, they where also more robust and less prone to damage as there was no rads to puncture and three banks of cylinders meant they could loose cylinders and still run unlike water cooled in line engines.

The 930 is my favorite car of all-time! Visio never fails to bring interesting videos, I had no idea this engine was a thing!

[@VisioRacer]

My pleasure!

Collaboration between the sports car maker and the watch maker creates such impressive beast...

1000hp from a 1.5liter engine just what i need for my motorcycle🐱👍🏿

[@Xayuap]

¿are you planning to dig a hole with that as a tool?

[@PaulG.x]

I'd be more interested in a 250 hp 750 triple derived from half of the Lanzante 930 engine

dat makes a lot of sense

I'd not heard of the test cars before. Thank you for telling the story. :)

Great video mate! I had no idea about this

[@michaelguerin56]

Nice piece of history that I was completely unaware of. Thank you. Good to be a patron.

[@VisioRacer]

Thanks!

[@Santos.Sarmento]

Super video, very well imagined subject, very comprehensive research, very well edited and narrated. Great job! Greetings from Brazil.

[@VisioRacer]

Thank you very much!

[@finehit]

Love your content you share a lot of great specs on these engines thanks 😮

[@AndyFromBeaverton]

The majority of turbo engines back then had relatively low compression. They didn't have the electric aids of today to control things like detonation. We had built a 350 Chevy back then with 7:1 flattops, bronze guides and titanium valves, exhaust wastegate, and water/methanol injection under boost powered by a windshield wiper pump. Turbo engines were so basic back then. I would love to know how much power someone could get out of those 40-year-old motors without changing the block or heads.

[@Grrrrrrg]

Don't all turbo engines have low compression? I mean it's a feature that allows them to operate, at all - I.e. you can't shove twice the fuel and air, I to a high compression (naturally aspirated design). American V8s are another phenomenon altogether, mostly NA, and yet, lower compression than Benz's first engine, back before Ford had even built an engine.

[@AndyFromBeaverton]

@@Grrrrrrg I think F1 today is limited to 18:1. In 2026, they will be limited to 16:1. Also, the engine inlet air pressure must be less than 4.8 barA at all times.

[@Oberon_Boost]

​@@AndyFromBeaverton5,5 bar at 1985.

[@AndyFromBeaverton]

@@Oberon_Boost But they didn't last very long at that pressure. BMW only went that high in qualifying and put a new block in for the race.

[@Twobarpsi]

2:58 nice boost pressure 🤗

[@MattBrownbill]

I am guessing you can't get parts for that 930 from Eurocarparts! Great video, as always.

[@paulfranks9760]

Another good one 👍

[@hugejohnson5011]

Great video, and some very cool vintage clips/photos. Of course, it helps that I am a Porsche 911 fan. My absolute favorite sports car ever. I do remember the Lanzante cars, but have never seen one in person. Keep up the great work!

[@branko917]

It was not Porsche F1 but McLaren MP4/2 designed by John Bernard and Steve Nichols, two the most capable F1 car designers of all time, second thing, two great drivers, Lauda and Prost, third thing, very good reliability of the whole packet.

[@АлбертАйнщайн-з1р]

[@ryanjonathanmartin3933]

What Alain Prost did in '86, to win the title against the superior Williams, deserves more praise than it gets. I don't care what the Senna fans say, it was one of the greatest individual seasons from an F1 driver ever.

2:59 - That's PSIG, not PSIA?

[@LeapFrog_Radio]

If the engines not running then the intake plenum is relative to atmospheric pressure, when the engines running you have a vacuum at the inlet of the intake, the boost pressure is positive pressure, measured relative to vacuum, so absolute or PSIA, I mean I could be wrong but a little bit of Googling should help clear it up

[@aaaabababa]

@@LeapFrog_Radio boost is usually measured in PSIG

[@amigo8872]

que maravilha , maravilinda

[@augustortiz]

61k swiss francs seems low for such a rare engine.

[@Where_is_Waldo]

A German developed engine with a pair of kkk turbochargers... I'm just saying that's an unfortunate coincidence.

This "TAG-Porsche" 930 1.5l V6 Turbo is truly unicorn ! Never thought about Porsche 911 been using F1 engine before ! But about this F1 1.5l V6 engine put in Porsche 911 is water-cooled engine or same way like Porsche 930 RSR still by Aircooled engine with engine oil cooler support engine ?
