Excuse itix that it looks like you wrote this.
My comments (besides what it says at the bottom) are sections that beginns with "Both the length" and "Explosion velcity" in the middle of the clip.
That's cool, I hope Proton will fund an ERC programme for MEM.Quote:

Dimvii: Thanks, I'm aware that there are many things to count with but still I find it interesting that there is no universal formula. Also we shall not forget that often the choice starts with stock configuration which isn't driven by same needs as racing use.
It's not really even playing fields to compare an NA unrestricted 2L motor to a 1.6L, inlet restricted restricted motor though. Airflow works completely differently for those two motors. Same with having things like anti-lag as well.Quote:

I was not aware that NA Skoda had 92.2 mm Mirek, but it is so both Super 1600 and S 2000 rpm limit of 8500, or?
92,2mm * 8500 gives piston speed of about 26 m per sec. It is very fast and above what was previously thought was the limit for piston speed (25 m per sec).
But kitcar had not 8500 as limit, and if we take 93mm * and forexample 9,000 rpm, this will give the piston speed of about 28 m per sec.
Yes, 92,2 at 8500 rpm for Fabia S2000. That's why I mentioned it as it's unusual configuration for such type of engine.
I just checked Peugeot 306 Maxi and the sources say it had stroke 86 mm. I don't know the rpm limiter but most of the sources say the peak power was at 11000 rpm. 86 mm at 11000 rpm means the piston speed 31,5 m/s. Can it be real?
There was an interview with Bútor before Eger, and he said his Evo II Maxi was 300 Hp, with peak power at 8600/min, but the gearchange light flashes at 9700. I believe the factory/Evo III spec Maxis and the Xsaras had 311 Hp, but don't know the characteristics.Quote:

No upgrades allowed. Neil Simpson don't change car. New one is to Preston.

Is this the first video of the car in motion? It sounds a bit 'tame' like the Fabia.
Ketomaa testing in italy too

Why use a gravel driver for a tarmac test?Quote:

Wednesday he was here at Portugal to help Joaquim Alves. Usually Ketomaa came to help João Barros.

Could this (rather early announcement & deadline) add fuel to the i20 R5 at Ypres rumours?
Time to download.. :cool:Quote:

Like Duval, Princen, Bonato showed they are competitive. Also in the past Abbring, Breen, etc they also showed it's pace, just then they had a lot of reliability issues. PSA cars have bad reputation because of those problems (mostly past problems) and I think that's one of the reasons why not many fast drivers use those cars, so also not many good results coming.
Demaerschalk, Dilley, Leonard, Scaillet or here Jakeš (the only PSA R5) had all technical problems with the DS3 R5 this weekend. Princen had problems during pre-event test. On the other hand out of 11 Fabias in the same two events none had technical problems. Fiestas were also ok. I wouldn't say that the issues with PSA cars are a matter of the past.

Seems like that rear spoiler is there to stay after all?
Actually Scaillet retired with broken wheel after hitting the edge of a sidewalk on the first corner of the rally. But you made your point, the PSA R5 cars are still the least reliable of the class... It's a pitty, especially because they're the most spectacular R5 cars. :)Quote:

Princen was the first one to do a rally with it, sadly after 4 stages it was already done when he rolled on SS4. On SS3 he took the scratch. Gilbert will be the second one to drive with it on his DS3 at Portugal.
20.000€ for a new servo-pump, a new radiator + intercooler, and a new icu seems a bit expensive too me. if that is all they could do its hardly an update, let alone a new version.Quote:
