Description
How would you like an actual Cosworth Formula 1 carbon fibre part to display in your home or office? Well, we have for sale a water transfer pipe as used on the Cosworth CA2010 Formula 1 engine. It looks incredible, and will certainly be a talking point to everyone that sees it.
Cosworth CA2010 Engine
The final Formula 1 engine from Cosworth, codenamed the CA, took all of the knowledge gained from decades of competition in F1 and turned this know-how into probably one of the best Cosworth engines ever. The CA was introduced in 2006 with Williams, and saw Cosworth return to the production of V8 normally aspirated engines that began with the DFV back in 1967. Capable of 20,000 rpm, the CA became the new benchmark for F1 powerplants.
After a brief sabbatical, Cosworth returned to the grid in 2010 with an updated version of the CA. By now the rules had dropped the maximum speed to 18,000 rpm. Nevertheless, the CA2010 engine was still able to produce in excess of 775 bhp. Consequently, the CA2010 was the ideal choice for both Williams and for the three new teams in F1 (Virgin Racing, Lotus Racing and Hispania Racing).
The CA2010 engine was raced for four season, bowing out at the end of 2013 after powering the rebranded Marussia team.
You can watch a short video we put together of a Cosworth CA2010 engine being pushed through its paces on Cosworth’s transient dyno at speeds of up to 18,500 rpm – just click here.
Cosworth Formula 1 Water Transfer Pipe
Booth cylinder heads had their own water outlet elbow, and these two elbows were connected with this water transfer pipe. It was manufactured from carbon fibre to save weight and yet still be strong enough to cope with the extreme temperature, pressure and vibration that it would be subjected to. This particular water transfer pipe is in excellent condition, with no damage or wear marks visible.
Details:
- Length = 432 mm
- Weight = 119 g
- Material = CF0300 carbon fibre cloth in an ACG LTM 45 resin
