It seems obvious that F1 would already use this concept, as the intake/exhaust duration seems to be a No Brainer for a turbo formula.
Insights from the forum would be very welcome!
I understand. I would also love to hear about the harnessable benefits for turbocharging. With shorter exhaust duration, the exhaust speed would need to increase. Obviously, longer intake stroke then improves cylinder packing, especially under boost.
Hmmmm . . . making the exhaust valves and ports smaller will increase the speed too . . . but they don't do that!
I'm sure there are a million trade offs. I guess the pumping losses increase of the exhaust stroke then as the piston forces the exhaust out the valve?
