Car TalkRe: What Are Differences Between The 6-cylinder Engine And The V6 Engine? by timifakay(m): 6:59pm On Mar 30, 2018
Naijauto1:
Have you known how they are different? If not, check our article right now!
If you are a car owner, you might have known about the 6-cylinder engine and the V6 engine which has been equipped in most of the cars today. But have you ever questioned that how different they are and what are their own advantages and disadvantages?

Naijauto.com is sure that not all car users know well about this. That is why we write this article to make it [s]clearer and help you have a better understanding of these types of engine[/s].

1. Straight six engine: Advantage and disadvantage

A straight six engine is a kind of engine that includes a straight line of cylinders and all of them face the same way. Because of this arrangement, there is no need for cylinder offset as in the V configuration. A straight six engine [s]doesn’t use double the number of smaller camshafts, it has an overhead camshaft used to close and open its valves[/s]. Accessing the straight six engine’s components is not difficult, making the engine become popular and a favorite of auto mechanics.

A straight six engine is a kind of engine that includes a line of cylinders which are arranged in the same way

Advantage:

The straight six is used largely because of its huge advantage - its balance. Thanks to a good arrangement of its cylinders, the equilibrium of reciprocating forces is created, providing a smooth and powerful engine.

Disadvantage:

The most difficult thing when installing an inline 6 cylinder is that there is not enough space for the gearbox, so it is hard to mount the engine sideways.

The Differences Between V6 and Straight-Six Engines

2. V6 engine

Advantage

The V6 engine is well-known for its compact shape that makes it easier to be mounted and add other parts to the engine like turbochargers.

Disadvantage

Different from the straight six, the V6 engine doesn’t require balancing shafts to counteract the force generated during the car’s motion. If there is no balancing shaft, the engine will run with large vibrations which also cancel out the engine reciprocation’s efficiency. Especially, when the car speeds up, the balance will turn worse.

The V6 has a manufacturing cost because of its counterweight and additional parts. And this engine has a complex structure, which is why you always need consults from professional mechanics as owning a V6 engine.

Although the V6 showcases not fewer disadvantages, it still attracts a number of carmakers today as an outstanding engine.

Car TalkRe: You’re Going On A Long Journey, Which Of These Suvs Will You Pick And Why? by timifakay(m): 2:41pm On Mar 27, 2018
AutoJoshNG:
You’re about to embark on a journey.. like heading to your home town in December... and you have to pick one of the SUVs below bearing in mind that you want a vehicle that will handle the terrible roads in Nigeria, have adequate cabin space and still enable you arrive in grand style. Which of these 3 SUVs will you set out in?

You may also want to consider factors like..

- Luxury and comfort
- Infotainment capabilities. The journey shouldn’t be a boring one for you and your passengers
- Durability and Reliability. Which of them will make you not feel bothered about the road as well as reaching your destination without mechanical issues.
- Fuel consumption and other factors could be considered as well.

Having these factors in mind, you are now to make a choice.

The three SUV are:

1. 2017 Range Rover Sport:

Will you go with this English engineering?

https://i63.tinypic.com/24fjy8w.jpg



2. 2017 Mercedes Benz G63 AMG:

Or the German Beast?

https://i68.tinypic.com/16lwt95.jpg



3. 2017 Lexus LX 570:

Or you'll prefer the Japanese gentleman?

https://i67.tinypic.com/2vjdkir.jpg



Out of the three, which will you travel with?

Let’s hear from you in the comment section.

In developed countries, there are institutions (eg DMV in the US) who test cars before they are back on the road, hence quality of repair work is assured, not here where cutting corners is the order of the day.

@Cosp.lay, only a legal entity can declare a criminal act and not you.
I would rather refer the action as that of one without any integrity to protect.

It is also possible that this guy doesn't even know the implications and impact of auto-registration and only needed the loan money to do other things. He should be arrested and prosecuted accordingly, if he refuses to transfer ownership to the real buyer.

I expect licensing offices should demand proof of purchase from registrants, but anything goes in Nigeria.
Ignorance is no defense.

None of your posts included front view of car and that was a red flag even before he requested for VIN... You got a car with minimal damage for sale and don't have to cuss anyone out for drawing your attention and that of prospective clients to it, your reaction to his posts goes a long way in projecting a negative image of you...

Which do you think is better in : 2005 RX330 Or 2009 Rav4 Limited I4
The rx is 3.3L v6 while the Rav4 has a 2.5L 4cylinder. i feel the rx is bigger with more ground clearance but i also think the rav4 is more recent.

Which do you guys think is better and more preferable .
IMO, Rav4 is better.
More recent
Tho smaller engine, but not as sludge prone as the engine of Rx330.
