I haven't encountered many good V6 engines, I'm not really sure why but they seem to be much less robust than inline 6's, perhaps it's the compact shape? Depends on where in the power band. Inlines, because of the relatively short stroke, and big bores, have a lot of low end torque. Modern V6's on the other hand, because of the configuration, are longer stroke, smaller bore. Top end torque. Nissan makes a bitchin' V6 Do you ever get sick of being wrong? Show me. Or shut up. Torque is relative to crank throw- longer stroke = more torque, not less as you've stated. Now will you shut up? Hmm, so I take it that you think torque is relative to ONLY stroke?? Are you REALLY saying that? Everything else being equal (# cylinders, displacement)- yes. Now that's just a plain stupid answer! How so brain sturgeon? I'm not a brain surgeon. Thats obvious. The real measurement would be to change the stroke AND bore to keep the same displacement. Exactly what I said- "Everything else being equal (# cylinders, displacement)- yes" Lets REALLY dumb this down for you. Engine #1- 250 ci straight 6 in a under square configuration (Stroke is longer than the bore- long stroke) Engine #2- 250 ci straight 6 engine in a over square configuration (Stroke is smaller than the bore- short stroke) Engine #1 will have more torque than engine #2 at a lower rpm. Engine #2 will rev higher and achieve its max torque at a higher rpm than Engine #1 Engine #2 will also redline @ a higher rpm than Engine #1 capiche? |
