Ayrton Senna's first Formula 1 car and F1 turbo era engine technology and modernization with Geoff Page Racing.
With some engines reaching an alleged 1500HP in qualifying trim, the turbo era of F1 was one of excitement, innovation, and tragedy. Geoff Page is no stranger to some of the cars of this moment in Formula 1 history, and during Goodwood Festival of Speed trip earlier this year we were lucky enough to visit his workshop that is brimming with cars, chassis, and engines with huge historical significance including the first F1 car Ayrton Senna ever competed and scored points in back in 1984, the Toleman TG183B powered by a turbocharged Hart 415T.
Geoff gives us a rundown on the 800HP 415T plus how Brian Hart and the team decided to look at some older pre-existing monoblock technology at the time to combat head cylinder sealing issues, and how coolant flow was actually one of the biggest issues for them to overcome via a ‘dummy’ head gasket that was cast into the block in order to better control flow and pressure, and therefore temperatures. The evolution of head gasket technology from there on is discussed along with what output Geoff thinks the 415T could produce today with the addition of some modern technology such as an ECU, sensors, and turbo upgrades.
Also discussed is the block casting technology of the time, Nikasil coating and how Geoff has worked to reproduce the 415T with some modern upgrades to ensure cars like this do not just sit collecting dust and can instead be fired up and driven as they were intended to do. Interestingly with a Life Racing ECU developed specifically for the 415T which runs 4 injectors per cylinder, the engine start time has been reduced by a whopping 2 hours compared to the old mechanical injection setup.
This is a huge interview with so much more discussed and we’ll definitely be back to catch up with Geoff again in the future.

Monoblock engines used to be fairly common, when head gaskets couldn't seal high cylinder pressures. The Offy 4-cylinder Indycar engine was a monoblock. Those were doing 1000 hp out of 165 cubic inches in 1972.

We’re so lucky, nowadays you can easily source ECU’s with a ton of ignition and fuel controls plus a host of failsafe and drive-ability functions that make driving a car that would normally be a nightmare on the streets quite tame. And that’s truly the upside to F1, as in all the electronic tech that has trickled down to the general aftermarket over the years.

On a sub note: It was Honda who were the first to be producing the 1500 hp No.'s but they(Honda) were not totaly sure of their power, simply due to the fact they were measuring the rpm and then the torque was measured off of the spring balance scale using binoculars.

@TheChannel1978 5 жыл бұрын

Are monoblock engines used in turbo sports cars nowadays like a Ferrari 488? And are there any downsides to the intense boost pressure to produce 800hp from 1.5l, other than cost/difficulty of servicing valvetrain? (does more boost mean more lag due to large turbo to spool up)? Sorry for all the questions, I'm sure I know a lot less than most of the audience here, just eager to learn.

@Thee_Snow_Wolf 5 жыл бұрын

I can't think of a modern production engine that is a mono block, as head gasket sealing had been worked out by the 1940s. While eliminating the head gasket removes one thing that can go wrong, it's an absolute pain to machine the chamber area. This increases cost of manufacturing. Especially as now head gaskets are much better than they use to be.

@LetoDeWirre 5 жыл бұрын

Yes, big turbo on a small engine result in a slow boost buildup, but more importantly - it will come on boost at wery high engine speeds. It will drive like 120hp NA 1.5L untill you reach 6000rpm and cut fuel at 8000.

The mpg figures from today's turbo hybrid f1 cars make far less than crazy 1500 hp of those good old days. Still with hybrid systems their mpg figures ąre in the single digits. What mpg figures were you getting in Sennas Era with turbo engines

@TristianWrites 5 жыл бұрын

Tanvir Hussain so I did some math and research. So these are rough estimates based on Grand Prix lengths and 100 kg of fuel in modern F1 cars and some conventions. But with that math they would be around 7.2 mpg in today’s F1 cars. It could be more but the teams wouldn’t dare release that info. I’d guess with refueling back then it would be far less. Plus modern cars produce a bit over 1000 Hp.
