$5000 Normal Engine vs $10 Million Formula 1 Engine
This one's for Ken Block.
🔧 Thanks to Scarbs for joining us once again! Go follow him on Twitter for F1 Tech news! 👉 / scarbstech
Formula 1 engines are INSANE - let me explain.
This is a 1.6 litre, turbocharged engine from a Ford Fiesta ST, and it produces a maximum of 197HP.
AND THIS is a 1.6 litre, turbocharged engine from a Formula 1 car, and it produces over 1000 horsepower.
But what makes them so different? Well, to start the F1 engine costs 2 thousand times more, at around 10 million dollars.
So why do they cost so much? Let’s get into it.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I imagine why they're going after Binance and Coinbase is because they're basically becoming banks in of themselves. Crypto is supposed to be decentralized, but these institutions are centralizing it and are by default becoming like crypto banks.

@@HAZSAM fucking bots talking to each other bro.
*sniff sniff these bots have the stench of SCAM*
The base size of a component is not called tolerance, that is dimension. There are however two types of tolerances when it comes to machining a part: Dimensional tolerances is the first which look at each measurement individually. Form and location is the other which handles things like parallel surfaces, flatness etc. (I haven't worked with manufacturing parts for F1 but for gas turbine engines and other high precision applications.)
@@theterriblepuddle1830 i would call it more like a safety factor then a tolerance
@@theterriblepuddle1830 - Yeha it does cos failure is 0 so 0.00001% above failure is the tiny tolerance they are looking for. BUt its an unusual way of looking at tolerance I would say.
@@theterriblepuddle1830 He used the word 'tolerance' incorrectly, as Rolf exaplained.
There are calculations for strength and other calculations for fatigue. One can calculate the minimum dimension under static load. If overloaded beyond its stress limits a part will first yield ( and deform) then break and result in a stress crack. One can calculate the failure rate for dynamic load for example the minimal dimensions needed before failure of repetitive loads, this is called fatigue. Like a railway cart axle wont fail immediately, but will fail after a certain amount of rotations because of repetitive load cycles. A fatigue crack is fundamentally different from a stress crack. The standard safety factor for both stress (yield) and fatigue is about 1.5, so a part would be guaranteed to not fail by a 100% to a defined maximum of load cycles or rotations at maximum load with a safety margin of 50% extra rotations. By reducing the safety factor from 1.5 to for example 1.05 a part would be designed a bit lighter and still not break by dynamic loads. It is however a risky play, because you are operating a machine so much closer to the edge of failure.
@@AlfaRomeo156SWGTA please explain how you would calculate the fatigue failure cycles on the rotating cart axle. Thanks

1:54 "I do really miss that sound" We all do, Scott, we all do.
I miss the sound of those high revving engines also and I wish they were back. I also miss the refueling in F1 because of the strategy changes made the racing so much more interesting.
I used to watch F1 races with my father. He's gone now, and I'm taking greater interest in this sport, to honour him. I just imagine my father's sitting next to me and watching this cool stuff, and learning all these things that were never shown on television in the 80's and 90's.
As always great video, love your content, really liked the @M539 Restorations's music from 7:02 onwards. Hat's off for the Ken Block tribute.
As an automotive engineer, I can explain regarding the high *(revs)* numbers. The 4000 RPM on a road car is not the same as the 4000 rpm in a F1 car. Let me explain: 1. The Bore of the F1 engine is larger than a normal road car engine making the stroke of the engine smaller, thus the piston only needs a small amount of distance from Bottom Dead Center (BDC) to Top Dead Center (TDC) 1a. A typical road car bore X stroke dimension is from 79mm X 84mm 1b. An Assumed F1 bore X stroke dimension is from 95mm X 55mm 1c. This makes the distance from BDC to TDC shorter making the revs higher. Most car manufacturers now are not doing so because of the sound regulations that it has to meet. But yes, this is in simple terms on why F1 engines are such. But this calculation is for a typical 1.6L engine. To achieve higher revs in a bigger cylinder engine is relatively the same thing. Just increase the bore dimensions and automatically you will have a smaller stroke dimension. This calculation can be calculated in: *_(π/4 × b2 × s × c)_* b = bore dimension s = stroke dimension c = number of cylinders *note* : The calculation I made above is just for an example.
So sad to see Scarbs was not offered a proper mic for Christmas 😥
Love my Focus ST and wish they never stopped making them here in the US. I'd love to drive or own a new '21-'22 model
Love the Ken Block Outro. He will be missed.
Great clip, really well done and enjoyable, and the outtro for Ken Block was just a perfect nod to that amazing driver.
RIP Ken, one heck of a driver, we all will miss you.

Formula 1 needs to remake the early 2000 cars with today's technology. DRS, V10's with sustainable fuel, smaller lighter cars, bring back refueling, and more teams
Sorry but, completely disagree about refuelling. Turned every pitstop into a 15 - 20 second snooze. The current tire only stops add more jeopardy..
@@W3ndal it doesn't. What it does is make every strategy predictable because the majority of the time in the pits is going slowly. It's the pit delta. So it ends up creating extra boring scenarios for 99% of the tracks where the strategies are entirely predictable. It's why we love rain so much. But further to why refuelling helps create more strategy, now you can choose to do full fuel, half fuel or splash of fuel. Where a pit delta with full fuel may take 60sec, a half load may be a delta of 40. It adds an extra layer of strategy. But you say, they'll still find the optimal strategy. Yea, they will. But more options means more possible paths to the outcome. Furthermore, Pirellis has made shit tires for a long time. Making them fall off so far and go from great to shit means 90% of strategies use the tire that degrades the slowest. Rare cases where the hard tire is worse do exist but the tires are so bad that without refuelling, the strategies (and best strategy) are _boringly_ predictable. Lastly, you may say "yea but with no fuel, if you mess up a pit stop it hurts". Which is your jeopardy comment. Sure. But define mess up? Over the past 5 years I can't remember when someone had a pit stop that was slower by less than a second to their rival where it actually mattered. The only times where a slower pit stop hurts is when it's really slow - like a 3sec turning into 6sec. And that's rare. So in reality, the pit stops aren't doing anything for the racing. The jeopardy just doesn't exist unless there's a huge screw up. They're only cool to watch from the choreography viewpoint. -F1 and motorsport fan for 35 years and counting.
I'm more into the engineering side but even I would be more than happy to have those V10s back. I love the current V6 but it would be nice to see even more complex engineering with the good old V10 and I know it will not rev as high as it was back then (because 3 engines per season limit). If there's anything I would disagree would be bringing refueling back. I thought it would be cool to see a V10 not having to refuel and last all 50+ laps. But of course it's the engineering part, you can disagree if you want.
@@Real28 yeah but I would feel bad for ferrari strategist. They can't make good decisions even without refueling and stuff.
Very interesting. Thanks for breaking it down. I also miss those sounds of earlier models.
Such superb analysis Hat doffed for sharing the technical depth that is F1 engineering
Just a point. The ST you showed has been downsized to a 1.5 3cyl. The older shape was the 1.6 4 cyl. However this only ran 200bhp in the very last models off the line, most were 180bhp stock.
Yeah, I want write this too yet 👍🏼 Because in the animation was a 4 cylinder to see 😅
Just to add. The 1litre ecoboost i had as hire car back in 2015 was banging. My buddy swapped me his jag xkR for it for a week no joke.
@@CaymanIslandsCatWalks the 140bhp 1l fiesta is surprisingly fun car!! Just a shame Ford fitted with eco ditch finders. I found it understeered too much if pushed.
@@rupertm2542 legit was great fun
The 1.6 was 182hp and on overboost (during 15/20 secs would make 197hp on European version. On the US version there was no overboost and they always make 197hp.
That's the same sort of engineering, manufacturing, and maintenance discipline applied to aircraft engines. Good stuff!
rest in paradise ken, you were one of the men that got me into motorsport in the first place, r.i.p. legend
The level of detail and knowledge in your videos is amazing..the technical breakdown of each performance aspect is fascinating..do you have any experience with motorbikes or just cars?.thankyou for the great videos. 😎
I really like your channels you and your team are really creative and make great quality content
Amazing engineering produces amazing things. These engines are pieces of art. Great video. Cheers.
I build submarine parts for a military contractor. We have clearances in the 1-2 thousands of an inch quite often. We have for example a component the size of a small cabin that needs to be aligned to another part within 2 thousands of an inch absolutely square. It definitely adds cost to build anything to that level of detail.
the part where you say the F1 engine is seized when cold is not correct, they can be started when cold, but because of the tolerances they would wear out prematurely
Would have been really cool to see you compare the Mercedes m139 versus the engine from the w13. But regardless this was another great video, thanks!
I saw one of Alfa Romeos engines this year in their garage. So complex and nice looking
We all miss that sound!
I wonder what they would sound like now. With direct injection and no fuel cooling probably no rasp.
Thank you @ 7:17, finally someone inserting a piston into a cylinder without fitting the plastic guide on top of the cylinder hole first. Always wondered if that guide was necessary in order to place the piston in and now I see its possible without it. Lol
As a Ph.D. Aerospace/Computer Engineer who works for a large American defense contractor's Aero company, I would love to be stuck into the middle of one of these teams as Principal Engineer...it would be a metallurgical stress/heat and software engineer heaven.
The engine doesn't produce 1000hp it's the whole P.U that does.
what is a p.u. ?
Power. Unit. As in the system that provides power for the application
Around 750HP I believe. Plus 250HP when the electric battery dumps its load, every lap or so.
@@shelterstation more like 850 w/o the mgu-k
@@exiles299 ERS is 160BHP and allowed 33 seconds per lap, Engine on its own is 700 BHP, not sure where the extra 140BHP comes from?
great vid, thanks for the Ken Block mention.
Great channel. F1 cars have fascinated me for awhile.
pneumatic valves might not be used today as motorcycle engines rev to 14,500 rpm as some brands of motocycles rev to 15k rpm, instead stiff valve springs might be used on F1 engines to adhere to the current cost cap regulations
It would be interesting to compare an F1 engine to an Indycar one that makes moderately less power but it costs a fraction of that
That would be interesting. I bet the power and dyno curves would be basically a secret though. Indy would likely not mind, Formula 1 teams though.... Aint no way theyd all agree to have their skunkworks numbers just publicly known.
Then Look at the archaeic pushrod V8 engines in drag racing that produce insane amounts of power for far cheaper. Making about 11,000 HP for an 8.3 liter engine. That's like 1,400 hp per liter lol. Also the sound of a top fuel is something that can't be explained. It's the one motorsport where you have to be there to experience it. 0 to 330 mph in under four seconds.
@@4touchdowns1game29 I'm talking about racing engines that last for whole races, as amazing as drag engines are they literally last 400 meters
@@ale_s45 yea I feel you about that. They don't last for shit lol. I'm all about modern engines although I did use to drive a c6 corvette with a pushrod v8 and that thing was amazing. Low weight and made power super easy..
@@ale_s45 one of the most amazing modern engines you should check out is the one in the kawasaki zx 25r. its 250cc revs to 16,000 rpm and tuned people are getting them to make 52 hp na and with a turbo they are getting over 100 hp. That's 400 hp per liter on something that can be driven regularly.
The F1 engine around 650-680hp,the rest of the power unit chimes in to make th the rest of the power to total 1000hp.
To be fair to the ST, the F1 engine alone only makes 450ish hp. The hybrid system gets it to 1000, and the turbos run much higher boost pressures. Another thing: V8 era F1 engines make similar hp per liter, but are naturally aspirated.
Most f1 engines have around 850hp it’s the battery with energy deployment which brings the f1 car to over 1000hp
Y35 that sound is amazing. As always, love your analysis.
The shown Fiesta Mk8 ST has a 1.5l three cylinder engine. You talk about the 1.6l of the Mk7 ST (200@5700 with overboost) or probably the ST200 (215hp@6000 with overbosst, 200 without). Anyway, the limiter is higher than that.
Im far more impressed by 80's era turbo F1 engines than any modern F1 hoover vacuum sounding turbo/hybrid engine!
Thank you for the video. And the outro... RIP Ken😥
The gold era was started from 2000 and finished 2006 . The magnificent V10 and V8 naturally aspirated engines.
Totally agree!
Driver 61 : The ST is no race car… Ford : But we painted the callipers…
Well, here's a big block that you might like, good old Chevrolet power. A Bill Michell alloy tall deck BBC 4.5" bore, w/sleeves remove, bored to 4.7" for NiB coating (block & crank weight comp. to LS7); and a 3.75" flat-plane crank, both on the limit of mass, but could be done (forged brass .30", yes .30" head "gasket'' O-grooved to both). The assembly pared-down further w/ 6.7" titanium/magnesium rods(1.786 ratio) pistons that look something like you showed and a 7.72lb steel flywheel, for a 5 X 8.5" kevlar clutch pack and titanium pressure plate. For dual cylinder hyd. clutch assist at 2.5X the pressure. For a C7 manual custom ratio transaxle in a C6 Vette. CID DM500 ported symmetrical heads (John wouldn't give me port volume, he hates it, says cross section is 4"sq. It flows 482cfm @ .800 lift w/2.5" int. valve, and room to unshroud. That's 520cid and 1050hp at 8250rpm, with some trickery from the ZZ572/720 crate mech. roller cam specs, Jesel 1.9, and a custom, mech. VVT mounted to a dual row timing set, for 20* of duration change, phased with the turbos. There's so much more, but NA power greater than your 1.6L wiz banger, and on E90/methanol inj. 2500hp capable w/ < 8lbs psi. per cyl. bank. No intercoolers and direct plumbing to and from fender mounted turbos to 2X50mm twin TBs w/y-pipes, canbon X-ram to opposing heads. The exhaust are Tri-Y for the 1-5-2-6-4-8-3-7 firing order. Lovely Garrett GTX3584RS turbos. Instant power and no KERS to shut down the engine, when the little battery gets all charged up with nowhere to go.. (about $50,000 plus trans, etc.)
At a certain point, dollars per horsepower becomes a game that only deep pockets can play.
True, hence why there have been a clampdown, and more coming in the next few years, on engine development and rules. No one wants another decade of a single bottomless-pocket manufacturer winning everything backed by their ridiculously overpowered engine.
This video is excellent. I knew, but to watch and listen, puts it in to a frightening perspective. It is mind blowing what an F1 engine endures and amazing they don't fail more often.
Very classy tribute to Ken. RIP (Great video too!)
Great VID And R.I.P Ken block
Current F1 ICE does NOT produce 1000hp, that, combined with the hybrid power unit in total does.
RIP KEN BLOCK such a legend
Very interesting video, I love learning about how high preformance engines work and are developed! Maybe it would be interesting to do a same thing with motogp engines, seeing that a roadbike 1000cc engine isnt that much less powerfull then an gp 1000cc engine
This video was mostly fluff except for the outro KEN BLOCK.
Hit me in the feels with the KB outro.... Tough start to the year.
I thought the "F1 engines are seized when cold" was a myth? Great video either way
I don't think they can be seized because it would make them really hard to assemble. I think the need warm them before starting is to get components to the right size before starting to minimise wear.
Could you get some collaborative videos with current f1 driver interviews? Or some type of 1 lab budget car challenge?
Mindblowing details, thanks for sharing this information, just wow.
Thanks you for this! 🤝🏽
The engines are not seized when cold. If they were it would be impossible to assemble the engine but to get those power levels the component clearances are extremely close. Starting a F1 engine cold will cause very expensive damage though. R.I.P Ken Block.
Classy ending guys... love this channel
I'm beginning to believe that Scarb's recording equipment evolves overtime as these videos are produced.
Very informative, thank youm
Beautiful tribute ending. Thanks Scott. He is still missed.
Great video and a very sad ending I’m still in disbelief that he’s gone he’s going to be very well missed and never forgotten go fast risk everything 🤙
The latest Ford Fiesta ST Mk8 has a 3 cylinder 1.5 litre Turbocharged engine that produces 200bhp. Mk7 had a 1.6 litre 4 cylinder atmospheric engine.
MK7 is 1.6L Ecoboost engine. I think they round it up the new 1.5L to 1.6L to make it at same capacity of the F1 for a better comparative
I guarantee you that the Ford ST engine costs less than $2500 to produce (probably costs around $1800, given GDI, VVT & inflation). I worked on a 1.6l for one of the “Big 3” 20 years ago that cost well under $800 to produce at that time.
Yeah I think he looked up the cost to purchase a new engine. That isn't the cost to manufacture.

I'm glad you recognised Ken at the end, too sad, such a lovely guy
4:40 bro... what are you doing... what the hell do the elephants have to do with anything?
Its a state of the art engine that's why its so expensive, rest easy Ken.
its that idle state i believe that gave merc issues with the AMG ONE
Thank you for the video, especially the outtro. Kens driving was both terrifyingly violent and absolutely beautifull all at once. History's most notorious serial killer of tires left chunks of blistering hot burnt rubber around every turn he took and smiles on the faces of everyone lucky enough to see it happen. Rest easy Mr. Block, we love you. ❤️ 🚗💨
I used to manually turn printing cylinders to a tolerance of 0.008mm.
A formula one engine doesn't cost 10 Million. When you consider that for the 20-ish Million a year teams pay their suppliers, teams get 2,5-5 PUs for the season per driver (depending on reliability) plus PUs for the pre-season-tests and other test drives, it's probably only 1 million for the manufacturing of a PU (not including development costs). Some ball park numbers: 20 Million per year for two drivers, each of them needs 3 whole PUs for the season (really good reliability), plus one for testing: that's 8 PUs, so 2.5 million per power train.
Rip Ken Block 43. His cars and racing was insanely fun to watch. What a career! 🙏🏽💯
Very good technology video review....!
The new fiesta st that you show in the video has a 1.5 litre 3 cylinder engine.
Would have been nice to compare a hybrid engine for a road car to the F1 engine. For example, I believe KIA has a 1.6 l 4 cylinder engine mated to a hybrid system.
6:35 the engine is "seized", when cold, and warming it up "unseizes" it 🤔 I don't think so. They are not seized when cold. Pre heating it tightens the tolerances, and brings all components up to operating temperature.
hey Scott, F1 engines generate 1000hp WITH the electric systems, the ICE itself “only“ produces around 700hp.
Legend has it the worst of the worst end up as tires in hell, with Ken Block shredding them for all eternity
Great video, and classy tribute. Hate to he that guy but the clip at 9:03 isn’t Ken, that’s BJ Baldwin.
If I was head of the FIA, I’d have a rule that all engines must be production based and the displacement is capped at two litres. Any number of cylinders, diesels are allowed and beyond that, anything goes.
9:00 This is what I will remember Ken for. Rest in peace.
Such a sweet touch, the ken block outro
So basically in F1 if you miss the torque setting by even 1ft/lb or Nm you’ll be out of a job so fast it’s unbelievable
Great video as always. RIP Ken! O.G. badass.
