F1 Burns Oil For Power

Re: F1 Burns Oil For Power
Well that be a high strung 500 but i get what your saying. However for simplicity and no forced induction pretty hard to not respect rotax!Little off topic but the 2-stroke benifits from this oiling as he talks about. Even though it would not live without it.
Re: F1 Burns Oil For Power
I just found it interesting how things that have always been considered bad can actually be used to gain power.
I have always ran nitrous engines and the consensus was that oil in the chamber was detrimental, true or not with nitrous I don't know, I have run some leaky engines but never hurt anything.

Maybe the old adage she went the best just before it blew up has some merit?
Re: F1 Burns Oil For Power
Could be, thankfully I never had to do the NASCAR interview where the guy says " Well I don't know, she just blowed up!"

Re: F1 Burns Oil For Power
I knew of at least one Pro Stock competitor from that era that used to get used oil from Fuel teams for that last "Hail Mary" qualifying pass.
One pail of used and nitro diluted oil, a PCV style line breathing into the plenum, no lube in the axle, and one shot at making number 16. This was back when they had 30 cars trying to make the field and it was an all or nothing deal. I seem to remember that it worked...

Re: F1 Burns Oil For Power
2 strokes have oil in the combustion chamber by default and often more oil makes more power. What the optimum amount of oil is, I don't know, yet, but it is more than 6%, and 6% is way, way more than what is needed for lubrication purposes. The right oil in the right form, like anything else, affects the combustion process. Nitro is not needed.

Re: F1 Burns Oil For Power
In my own experience they certainly DO go really well just before they blow up.
Done that a few times.
Re: F1 Burns Oil For Power
Oil improves sealing piston to cylinder. Very little 2-stroke engines don't use piston rings at all but about 30% oil in fuel.
Re: F1 Burns Oil For Power
The new series e-tec engines from Rotax very stingy on oil compared to earlier engines. The new motors have electronic variable pumps that inject oil anywhere from 100:1 at idle to 30:1 or so at wide open. Taking cues from throttle position. Very high tec now.
Re: F1 Burns Oil For Power
In a proper 2 stroke (i.e. one with rings), additional sealing is not the effect, there is a change in the combustion process, as recorded. The same combustion effect would translate over to 4 strokes.
