Is there ANY chance that these will become a thing again?

shut up retard

>>power of a 4cyl
>>fuel consumption of a 6cyl
when will this meme die

>getting triggered on Veeky Forums

>block guard

have fun with those oblong cylinders.

No, gm ruined it for everyone else, just like diesels in passenger cars.

Well, diesel passenger cars are verry popular in europe, especially in france.

Theyre already coming back

bait

>advocating turbo I3s
>not loving turbo I5
you fucked up, let's see how
>power of a I4
one more cylinder of displacement, no replacement
>economy of an I6
more fuel= more fast
>heavy
use aluminum
>long
but short enough to mount transverse
>shake itself to death
and I3 and 4s don't need them?

>sound is not an argument
leave

I6>I5>I4>I3

Ford's 3.2L is an inline 5 diesel

I12>I10>I8>I7

A I7-12 would be too long, except for streamlined land speed record cars.

>implying I7s aren't made commercially
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight-seven_engine
>yfw not man enough for a I14

OP was talking about inline fives, not sixes
try again

that is fucking monumental

That is not a car engine, these engine go into streamlined ships.

user how can you be so sure?

Because a car fits in each cylinder of that engine.

I8s were made for cars for a long time
Including Duesenberg Model Js

same to you

it is still mighty impressive no?

And Mercedes made them as well, but theses engines where half as long as the car itself.
Indeed, marine diesels are impressive engines.
Especially their efficiency is insane.

That's a big truck

>mfw I'm a NAME student

>moving goalposts
>didn't even read spoonfed article
>doesn't even know the straight-7 configuration is a low-cost investment because Sisu has reused cylinder heads from their I3 and I4 diesel lineups

Maybe weak tiny European car. American car fit whole engine in bay with space for one more

These engines have bores like 2-3m.

I4 U

looking at a trailblazer or something?

Fucked up an amazing GET

nice digits madman

So do corvettes.

No. It was the fine point of where novelty and technology met.

Not in the US since the oldsmobile diesel left a sour taste in everyone's mouth. If you want a diesel in the US you're pretty much limited to fuckhueg 3/4 ton+ pickups or vw tdi.

> He doesn't have a a 5 cylinder

That was willow springs, not the ring

Try a Juke.

VW uses an I5.

we're not talking about trash an/o/n

>what is primary engine balance
>what is secondary engine balance
>what are rocking couples

too bad 5 cyls are usually smoother than 4 bangers

>unbalanced
>being so dumb you don't understand the i5's and v10's are the most geometrically balanced around
>Does not understand Counter weights on crank shafts or block weights.
get out

>most balanced
>needs balance shafts

not him but are you daft?
the i5 and v10's dont require those weights , thats the whole reason regular engines arent as efficient and balanced. get out of your highschool auto class and learn before shit posting.
also
>balance shaft
for real? Shafts/ have you ever even seen a crank case or shaft/ do you know what the weights look like? get out of here middle schooler and take your FRS with you

>the i5
>dont require those weights
but they do

kek, the ones that don't require them are the I6s and V12s

Didn't Volvo prove they were viable in touring and in a heavy wagon no less? Why is this a question still? Every engine works if designed and implemented well.

you think you know what you're talking about but in actuality you don't

No you shut up retard

no you shut up
them being heavy as fuck isn't safety regulations' fault, the battery packs weigh a ton
