3cyc minimum for car if 2cyc then become motor bike engine lol

I believe 10-ton lorries have 6 wheels and 6L 6-cylinder non-Turbo engines. .......

When /k resident car expert think they are better than engineer of volvo in term of car knowledge

you suka then you buy
you no suka then dont buy

you dont buy but talk cock in internet forum then you bodo

senang cerita tikus makmal la untuk geely+volvo? tunggu lagi 5 tahun untuk mature...

in malaysia, toyoda still no 1. oh wait

It just like AT change to CVT, 4 cylinders to 3. It’s all called manufacturer cost efficiency. Reduce costs earn more and make bullshit.

Tim Cook also explained why removing the charging plug is better.

4-stroke 1-cylinder Honda Cub kapchai's do not vibrate like crazy. Maybe you are referring to those 2-stroke noisy and smoky kapchai's, eg Suzuki 110RG Sport.

Number and size of cylinders are optimized for the weight of the vehicle.

In the case of the still quite heavy-weight Proton X50 Compact SUV, the car-maker is very likely maximizing profits(= save manufacturing costs) by reducing the number and size of cylinders from 4 to 3 cylinders and from >2.0L to 1.5L, by compensating with a turbo-charger, which IRL causes the consumers to pay more for fuel consumption.

human not yet reach there ma... straight go for 1 now.. tak cukup power to jalan later. hahaha

To me, the misinformation is being disseminated by the car-makers and car-trade news media.
.

1) Engine mounts are part of vibration dampers, if you havent realized their function

2) The 5 year figure is the typical age when the infamous lifetime transmission fluid failed. To the car manufacturers, lifetime of a car is 5 years or less.

ktards ain't doing any better here either.

The "vibration damper" mentioned in that article is a specific engine part usually built as part of the crank pulley. It is not related to the engine mount. steady bro, just FYI.



Like I asked, which 3 cylinder engine you know need this part replaced after 5 years? or any other engine internal parts referred to in that article?

You guys keep mentioning engine mount, I already addressed it in my post replying to steady bro.

As for vehicle lifetime, you're just taking that "lifetime fluid" as reference and running with it. If manufacturer deem the car's lifetime to be 5 years, why do some markets enjoy 7-10 yrs warranties on their cars? in fact in Malaysia some Ford cars get 7 years warranty on clutch parts and 10 years for the transmission controller. Why bother with such long warranties if they don't think the car can last that long?

thanks bro for the detailed info, appreciate it

anyway, most of the 3 cyl engine cars we see today are mostly 2 types

1) lower output 3 cyl engines from the japanese makes, new almera, new city, vios etc, less than 125hp( there is the yaris gr but thats not what most ppl will buy so lets ignore it), these cars are relatively new to the market so its still early to judge their reliability, but these are lower output 3cyl engines, so they dont require the kind of technologies found in a higher output 3 cyl engine

2) higher output 3 cyl engines from the contis, bmw, mini etc with at least 170hp, these cars are out quite long ledi and their 3 cyl engines proven to be reliable and dont have those issues like excessive vibration etc
but lets not forget conti cars have the latest and state of the art technology compared to other makes, more technology means more expensive to maintain, parts are also much more expensive than other makes

and now we have the new proton x50, a high output 3 cyl engine and it performs like a conti 3 cyl engine (little vibration, little noise etc), so is it using conti cars technologies to achieve the same result as a conti 3 cyl?
if yes then the maintenance costs will also be around conti cars level

so for me i will just avoid this kind of car first and see how it goes first, now is still too early to judge , need more ppl to be the lab rats first haha

Yep, eg..

... however an end-to-end rocking couple is induced because there is no symmetry in the piston velocities about the middle piston. A balance shaft is sometimes used to reduce the vibrations caused by the rocking couple. ....

The straight-three versions of the Ford EcoBoost engine - a turbocharged 1.0-litre petrol engine - was introduced in the 2012 Ford Focus. It uses of an unbalanced flywheel to shift the inherent three-cylinder imbalance to the horizontal plane where it is more easily managed by engine mounts, and so remove the need to use balancer shafts. In 2016, cylinder deactivation was added, claimed to be a world first for three-cylinder engines. ...

To save on manufacturing costs = maximize profits, downsizing the Ford Fiesta hatchback engine from 1.4L 4-cylinder to 1.0L Turbo 3-cylinder introduced a host of unnecessary engine noise and vibration problems that needed to be dampened, various under-powered conditions and higher fuel consumption IRL, which did not actually benefit the consumers one bit.

vs

k/tard armchair engineer

Once you tried inline-6 engine smoothness, difficult to go down

y not using 4 inline engine?
more power full.
230kmh in hand.

3 cylinder long run sure wear and tear worse than 4 cylinder, stnad from physic point of view

Fyi, .......
