Those are mostly VW engines and they are not lined up in V-shape but rather they are In lined.. E. G volkswagen Jetta/Golf... There is nothing like V5

Basic physics: work = force x distance

Thermodynamically ; work = pressure x volume

Power = work output / time taken

The number of pistons and cylinders an engine has does not necessarily determine the work, and apparent power of the engine.

What does are the variables of manifold pressure and volume. So long as the universal stoichiometric ratio of 14.7 : 1 air/fuel ratio is obeyed

An in-line 4-cyl engine with an air compressor can generate more hp than a v6 engine

The countries that produces conspicuous and distinct piece of engineering are
Germany: Mercedes
. BMW
. maybach
. Volkswagen that manufactures' Porsche, Audi, scoda,

Italy : Ferrari
. Maserati
. Lamborghini
. Bugatti

USA: ford
. Cadillac
. Chevrolet
. Lincoln
. dodge

England: range rover
. rolls Royce
. jaguar
. Aston martin

Others are for the masses but those mentioned above are the pinnacle of engineering


Just so you know, you don't know what you are saying.

The Japs were the ones who brought about the revolutionary V-shaped engine arrangements that the rest of Europe and Americans have adapted in their designs. With BMW being the only exception till now.

Op my Quest 2000 model (v6) is 4.0 pls what do I need to know about it

You drive quite a big engine 4000 cc the pistons goes up and down a cyl . Like some carsbhave 4 ,6,8 cyls. With varying diameters. The bigger the piston and cyl the more power they generate to turn the cranshaft that spins the engine . In trucks like the DAF 75 one of its cyl has a cubit capacity of anbintire 4cyls in a corrola. You got quite a big engine inbyour quest

Nice 1. I use a v4 engine; 2.4l when I checked the specs online. Im still shocked cause it's a 2001 nissan altima, looks small but really it moves and it's pushy.
sometimes I consciously have to use my toe to push the accelerator to reduce speed
laughing, u are just driving right?

These VW engines are referred to as H4 or flat 4. The pistons and cylinders were arranged horizontally hence the "H" or "Flat" term.

Picture shows an example of a Flat 4 or H4. You can see it actually has the "H" shape.

thanks

tongue embarassedgood to know, I thought the 2.4l was the amount of oil the engine can carry... now I know better

2.4 ltrs or 2400 cc is the sum of the diameter of the cyls present in an engine. Like a v6 3.0 litre accord has 6 cyls of .5ltrs each. Each of the cyl has a piston attached to the crankshaft. .on combustion the explosion pushes down the piston which in turn turns the crankshaft that roatates the engine. The total size of the cyl determines the torque the engine produces.

Horse Power (strength of the engine)

The 2.4L in this case means the swept volume of the cylinders. In layman's terms, the engine has 4 bores in the block, and 4 pistons that rise and fall, compressing the fuel / air mixture. The space at which this takes place is measured in litres or cubic inches. In this case 2.4 litres.

It is not the engine output in horsepower or kilowatts, although it is linked.

That's the car engine capacity. The higher the capacity, the more powerful it becomes and more fuel consumption, the car can travel longer distance. But the lower the capacity, the less powerful it becomes and fuel efficient, this can't travel longer.

Generally true, but not always the case.

Na yo type go talk say Benz better pass Tesla

The first V engine was built by Daimler around 1890.
By 1900 or thereabouts, (I need to go back to my old, moth-eaten books to confirm exact date here) Société Antoinette began mass producing V8 engines.

Going by the names here, none of these manufacturers were Japanese.
