There may be something to that. Composition of coolant is seemingly unregulated barring one entry:
I don't think so. Honda does use a "waterless" coolant formulated for them but I would think the other manufacturers are all using a similar coolant so I don't think it would that far ahead of the others if at all.
Thx Wazari,
I'm a total engine-noob, can you highlight the oil tank in the Honda-PU for me?godlameroso wrote: ↑19 Jul 2019, 06:30New spec incoming, have any of you noticed Honda has no reservations giving money shots of the power unit once a new one is rumored to be around the corner.
Interesting about that gap between the exhaust and bodywork, and how it tapers down. I know what that does.
If this keeps up Verstappen is going to know what Marquez in Moto GP has been feeling the last couple of years.
This power unit has taken a nice step forward, it's so beautifully constructed. The oil tank
At one glance you can instantly tell that that thing does not work. Graphical materials for this sort of things are just casual diagram, same as tube maps, anatomical explanation drawing of organs etc, not something to take serious about.ispano6 wrote: ↑20 Jul 2019, 16:48Is this new information? Honda has shown this since the beginning of the season.
Dual inlet, dual outlet, split turbo physically connected and it's orientation.

Obviously, they are not showing exact details. All I'm saying is this information is not new. Dual outlet and dual inlet that is.muramasa wrote: ↑20 Jul 2019, 19:20At one glance you can instantly tell that that thing does not work.

Telling orientation of turbine rotation is so easy, just look at its body will do.
It's at the front of the ICE, it is moulded around the compressor. Compared to the design they had on there 2 years ago this is light years ahead.daniellammers wrote: ↑20 Jul 2019, 18:34I'm a total engine-noob, can you highlight the oil tank in the Honda-PU for me?godlameroso wrote: ↑19 Jul 2019, 06:30New spec incoming, have any of you noticed Honda has no reservations giving money shots of the power unit once a new one is rumored to be around the corner.

You are right, you've convinced me.roon wrote: ↑20 Jul 2019, 02:22Demarcated with the orange arrow showing compressor outflow. Second image below. It is of apparently the same diameter as the left-side outlet, which you acknowledge to be an outlet. It's flange is treated the same way, with two white o-rings. Do you have another suggestion for its purpose?
Most photos of RB cars from the past six seasons with engine cover off will show the thicker-core a:a intercoolers mounted below the thinner liquid radiators. These are mirrored about the car, one per sidepod. Compare to Force India who dedicate an entire sidepod to one a:a intercooler. RB, Mac and Renault altenatively fill half a sidepod on both sides.
They do this presumably to balance weight and aero loads, as well as optimizing flow to both cylinder banks.

2018 plenum. Inlets point away from CL, toward outboard intercoolers. Unlikely to be sequential/series flow.
