Cool engine pictures
I also posted this on the Racing/DE forum but thought there might be some interest on this forum as well. Pictures are of 1.6L V6 formula 1 engine for 2014, turbocharged obviously and I would assume intercooled but I haven't quite figured out this turbo layout yet as the cold side looks to blow straight into the plenum. I also haven't seen a turbo with a similar bearing section. Anyway, I found it interesting.

Reckon the centre section is linked to boost or turbine governer &/or kers?

I wonder if the center section is a gearbox? The exhaust side spins opposite of the cold side. I'm not sure if the gears would increase or decrease speed. Interesting concept!
