Three-cylinder diesel engines have not disappeared from the market, but they now occupy a narrower, more specialized corner of the powertrain world than they did a decade ago. They continue to be ...

2.Reduced engine rpm (without attending losses in net torque) tend to improve overall fuel economy and driveability. 3.Treat multi-cylinder engines as a combination of several single-cylinder engines, ...

In the era of downsizing, automakers are gradually moving away from high-cylinder engines. As a result, they are increasingly in favor of smaller, often turbocharged or hybridized powertrains. A few ...

When thinking about diesel engines, it's easy to associate them with heavy-duty applications. Diesel engines are more durable than gasoline ones, often delivering higher torque while being made of ...

It's important to keep in mind that the combustion process occurs in a very brief period of time. Due to a variety of conditions that include mixture density, homogeneity, temperature, fuel ...

Four-cylinder engines have been part of the automotive scene for over a century. Yet the quest for more power under the hood dominated most of the 20th century, giving rise to six- and eight-cylinder ...

Obviously, the bigger the number the better, and that goes for engines. As enthusiasts we love huge engines, whether they be huge in size or huge in power (or both), and one of the most obvious ways ...
