1JZ into EA Falcon

Formula 1 engines from the 80s: 1.5 litres, and making much more power than that. As well as surviving the race. It's all about fuel. Oh, and it's all about loooots of boost, too!

They ran 72PSI boost, had a stroke as long as ya little fingernail is wide(thats why they rev), 12 cylinders, and ran on 89ish % toluene(they were restricted as to how much octane they could run, otherwise they would have ran 100% toluene) and produced a measily 1500hp (1000hp per litre)!!

So hows that for trivia??

There were other engines though... Honda V6, BMW even used a 4 potter. Later years saw the boost being limited, and fuel amounts being limited also, until boost was banned fullstop. Just imagine though, if ground effects and turbocharging were still allowed, without restriction, just how fast they'd be going NOW...

They'd need G-suits

"...and Senna's vital organs have actually left the racecar, and attached themselves to the pavilion. A member of the crowd has actually mistaken his liver for a hot dog, and is eating it live on internation television! Ladies and gentlemen, motorsport has never seen anything like this before!"
