Bonjour!

My french is not so good so I will write in english. Hopefully this is allowed. Please don't ban me

I know that this could lead to problems but i will try it since I think that you can help me.

I am a big fan of the new F1 Renault engine and searching for information about but can't find anything. Ok, it is clear that there won't be too much about F1 engines but anything I can find will be nice. So since it is a complete new engine I would like to ask you here if there is a Renault engine which is similar to that one? That means 1,6L V6 and Turbo?

Do someone know who is doing the ECU for this engine? You call it "calculateur de bord" I think

Sorry for writing in english again!!!

Merci et cordialement

Hi,

ECU = every team has the same : Mc Laren techno.

Engine : go to FIA site :

Bienvenue

Unfortunately there is no "big " engine manufactured by Renault for road cars. There was a V6 Turbo 3.0L (a shared product with Peugeot) a not so long time ago, but it was just average and fun only in the Clio V6.
They are more specialised in Diesel engines, also used by Nissan or Mercedes in the Class A.

Hi,

guys, I knew that I am right here

Thanks a lot, these information pointed me into the right direction! I never asked myself who is manufacturing the ECU's, thought that for RB the "Créateur d'Automobiles" is doing that

since there are always some little differences which are crucial for winning or loosing. So most probably the changes are done live during the race ...

Now I am reading about the standard ECU from McLaren, but as assumed there is not much information around. So I think that it would be impossible to get familiar with the engine management.

I thought that there is maybe a similar Renault engine which I could study but since there is no on it would be hard.

Maybe there are some rough similarities with the R4 1,6T engine from the Nissan Juke but no idea.

Who is usually doing the engine management for petrol engines fo Renault? I know that it was Sagem for some types but don't know if this is valid for the newest engines.

Thanks again for the information although I think that it will be nerly impossible to get more data about the F1 engine and McLaren ECU.
