SUPERCHARGED SUMP LUBRICATED 2 STROKE thats what we should be developing - and F1 cars should be made to use these - they would sound ASTONISHING

@morpfrank4709 - I thought that issue had been fixed a long time ago but the only reason the project didn't go forward was not demand / need for it

@daveone191 - I dont know cos I have only seen the Ferrari and other prototypes. I you use forced induction you can lubricate the engine the normal way, its incredibly tiny and you get 2 X the combustion events. I just want to hear a V10 2 stroke F1 car reving to 25,000 RPM

@morpfrank4709 - I cant remember I watched a documentary about it but I literally have brain damage which means i forget some things. "This is basically what egr does I guess so it may actually help with emissions on a gasoline engine". I think you are correct that with port tuning [exhaust?] they could achieve very good emissions. For me F1 should be a test bed for weird and wonderful possibilities. Have 5 years running 2 strokes, then 5 running Deisel, then 5 running 3 cylinder engines. If you re going to have multiple billions go into engines - make them invent new things

@alanhat5252 - Im trying to consume less news. I realised I had a level of awareness of political world events that could only be described as "unhealthy and obsessive". Its good to be informed, but there comes a point where is not good, its obsessive and damaging and I had definitely reached that point. Also very nice to see you here.

@alanhat5252 " everyone has to find their own balances." Id got to the point I was correcting BBC correspondents on trivial details of Saudi Arabia's politics and such like - I thought "why do i KNOW this? This is of no interest or use to anyone and i simply should NOT know this stuff. This is an UNHEALTHY level unless its literally your JOB"

@alanhat5252 - can you tell me, cos I have forgotten - did they develop a variable length exhaust manifold to alter the scavenging and reduce emissions I just found it " Two-stroke engine variable tuned exhaust system " Patent No WO1985004689A1

@nerd1000ify - This is so obvious and I never thought of it... Thank you! I once cut the end of my finger off in an intake port LOL, just installed new rings and I was pushing the pistons up and down and my finger slipped off the domed top of the piston and into the port - the momentum brought the piston back up and chopped off about 3/8ths of my finger 8mm - its still kinda flat at the end LOL
