but to answer to you, you cannot think to THESE engines that are projected to have around 600 cv due to fuel restriction.
from the purely technical point of view if you are boost and fuel free it will be not a problem to build a 1000cv 1.6 lasting for several races....
it will be expensive but completely feasible. 30 years ago (thirty! with no electronics no pneumatic valves and primitive materials) they used to built 1500 cc engines with 1000cv lasting one race...
Let's assume that i decide if this is the right place for me or not.
BTW, the fact that these engines are projected to have around 600cv is due to fuel rate restriction and a lot of more expects.
If you are able to build 1000cv 1.6 that lasts for 4000 km tell me, we would make a society and we will be billionaires in a blink of an eye. It's not feasible, even without flow rate restriction.
Ah, there is no waste gate, try to develop 1000cv with 1.6 turbo with turbine stuck at 125000 rpm and no waste gate, you will find compressor in the stands and turbine in the pits.
80's engine developed 1300 cv for one lap (qualify) and around 800 for a race, but the engine was not the same, they were use to handle 2 to 3 engine in a weekend; and they often didn't last because a lot of them were used to suddenly blew up during the week end.
