Appreciate all of you watching!
FINALLY SOMEONE FREAKING EXPLAINS IT IN ENGLISH NOT ADVANCED AUTO 101. Thanks dude this helped a lot
Right on, exactly what I want to hear 👍
@@ReignitedAutoThis video did help a little, although I use a slightly different calculation based on my measurements of my own cars engine. Hight x Width x Hight divide buy 14. 225 Cm X 64 Cm X 58.38 Cm Divided by 14 Cm remember I have to scale down 14 Feet by 30.48 Cm, it = 60L a true monster of an VR8 engine.
@mobythemerpup1515 I had one of those, they're pretty quick! 😄
Man my 4th grade teacher told me they found displacement by dropping the engine in water, starting it and measuring how much water was displaced, you said it’s air, how common is this water method or liquid method used ?
Fr i was a fake car guy before i watched, now I'm an educated fake car guy@@ReignitedAuto
This video is underrated. Most straightforward explanation I got.
This was absolutely brilliant! Perfectly clear, no dumbing down of the facts and with an engine on display. Well done and thank you
Appreciate you watching!
I really liked the liter container example. You added clarity to the way to figure out the displacement of an engine. Thank you. :)
What basic engine topic would you like me to cover next? Remember, there's no stupid questions when you're learning 👍
I have two topics.
You should come Camshafts lift and duration. I feel that one is harder to understand especially on how it affects the powerband.
Secondly, you did a good job on Displacement. I think you can take a step further on the difference between long and short strokes.
Coolant system like how does the heater core and engine use the antifreeze to cool the engine and ac
Swept volume vs. total volume, and how different cylinder heads can affect not only total volume, but also compression ratios.
Great breakdown. Just got a 5.0L V8 Supercharged Jagaur, I wanted to understand why I fishtail out of any spot so easily😂
For the next one you should expand on displacement and explain how a stroker kit works to give more displacement without increasing the physical size of the engine.
Good idea 👍
i know a lot about engines and always asked that exact question for 30 years could not get simple answer thank you
Glad it helped!
Dang!!! Never in my thought "LITTER" was the litteral meaning of a 1000cc displacement engines. Kudos to you sir, thatt was straight and simple! Legit💯💥
Very helpful. I’m not a mechanic but have always wondered what the different descriptive numbers meant when describing an engines size. I got curious and am happy I found your video. Extremely straight forward and clear explanation. Thank you!
man thank you sooooooooooo much, you are the only one in the whole internet who explain it NORMALLY !!! thounthand thankses to you!!!
bruh i thought litres referred to the amount of oil🤦🏽. this helped a lot, i wanna get into cars and actually knowing basic terms helps
Love hearing this, thank you 👍
Thank you, beautiful, beautiful simplified down to earth explanations.
I liked the video. It's something a parent/ spouse can watch with their kid/spouse to help explain terms used around the garage/parts store. Thanks Sky
I was used to the cc measurements, now knowing that liter was actually a thousand cc just made me opened my mind a lot.
Very well explained. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Such a great video! Thank you for making it super easy to understand!
Well done bruh, I finally can understand what sellers talk about when they mention this
One of the clearest explanations on the internet
Appreciate you watching! 👍
Not sure if you've done a video on gear ratios and final drive ratios or not, but that would be interesting.
GOD DAM.......all this time I had no idea, wel now I know, thanks bro
As a female this is the BEST explanation I ever heard 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 unlike others😒
I never felt more responsibility to like and comment on a video than engine explanation videos
No nonsense direct to the point, this is what you call a perfect video watch eat popcorn and gain some knowledge for free
Thank you for the kind words!
Thank you for this simple, easy-to-follow explanation
Rolling in my 4.9
Just doesn't have the same ring to it 😂
LOL
Thanks for that! It was a great way to finally help my son understand displacement. Great video!
There's no replacement for displacement. But boost still makes it better!
Thanks dude I really learned a lot. I'm starting to learn about engine's because I'm really curious about it and I love cars, this significantly help me.
Nice and simple, much appreciated.
Finally some good explanation
Glad it helped! 👍
I never knew what a 1.6 or a 2L engine was until now. Awesome! My old honda was a 2L and my suv is a 1.6 hybrid. Sad my honda engine was bigger
comments looking good already even before I've watched 2 minutes of the video .and I've already subscribed.😁😁😁😁😁
Great video and great explanation!!
I'm very familiar with automotive stuff so i knew it but this a very good explainer👍
Hey brother I sent you a question on messenger a while back, I was just wandering if you happened to see it, great explanation and video, thank you 👍👍
Thank you for that explanation.
.061 is what I learned, why is/ was the Chevy 350 such a popular and reliable engine, and why did Toyota andDodge come up with the 5.7 as their choice for optimal motor sizes 5.7 =350CI
Very informative, did not know that
Thank you for explaining this.
ok so a bigger number/size engine would be better for power right? Really helpful video! I always felt silly not knowing what the Litres meant when talking about engines. Now I know what my dream car (Toyota jzx100 Chaser) 2.5L 1jz Engine means!
No, 5.7 is the way to go when boosting, 392s are decent anything up like the 6.4 will blow the fuck up
I was loss & felt like I was in a Trigonometry class up until 4:00 minute mark.
When he pulled out those oil containers out it all clicked & made sense 😂
Loved it!!!
What an amazing explanation, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Great video, as always. But let's talk more hurricane. Specifically what are the transmission options and when could the average guy buy one in a crate? Asking for a friend. :D
SUPER SUPER SUPER HELPFUL ❤
I would really like to know how smaller engines make more power than big ones
Very nice. However, a liter of air can mean different amounts because air can be compressed. So a liter of air at 1 atmosphere is not the same as a liter of air at 5 atmosphere of preassure. I think it would be better to describe the displacement as a liter of space.
At laaast i learned this , i watched a couple of videos but i think i've never understood this.
Dude, thank you!
Hey I have a question..maybe you can help me....I have a 2016 Chrysler 5.7 hemi...I have been having problems with the vehicle not going into reverse unless I switched it to reverse immediately after starting, also I have to time the RPM while driving to get it from 3rd gear to 4th gear. Do you think it's the transmission or the TCM? thank you.
Thank you!
Well explained
Simply
The visual representation really put it in perspective. So a small 1.4L engines with a turbo is no good?
Depends on a number of factors. I actually like a small displacement turbo engine, but it needs to be in a light vehicle to make sense.
"Rollin', in my 4.9 with my rag top down so my head can shine."
Stroker build!
You're best dude
2006 5.7 hemi how much can you over bore that motor
I used to think when they say 5.0l they were refering to the amount of fuel the whole fuel tank carried 😂
Growing up in Europe all this seems rather basic and common sense to me, although I'd have trouble converting to and understanding cobic inches.
That's only because cubic inches makes no sense 😄
I learnt something in this life that take the information from the expert. Some body told me that the "liter" refers to the fuel !! And here comes the question: Is the amount of air sucked inside equal to the amount of fuel ??
No, there is an air to fuel ratio that takes place inside the engine. This ratio changes constantly as the engine is running, but the "ideal" air to fuel ratio is 14.7 parts air to 1 part fuel. 👍
Thank you❤
Hope he doesn't get kicked out of the club for letting people actually understand the answer to the question they ask every time you go to the autoparts store. 😂😂😂
I was always imagining some formula having to do with engine oil flow or something weird that made it a different number from the amount of oil I needed for an oil change. 😂😂😂😂
I'm glad I was able to help! 👍
That was great!
Now it is actually meaningful when I see an old Mini Cooper can be like 0.8 liter, a Bugatti v16 that can be 8 liter, my Scion xB coming in at a whopping 2.4 liter, compared to my old Dodge Ram van that was a 5.2 liter... water bottles will never look the same again! Thank you my excellent sir!
Now I'm trying to find examples of similar engine sizes that have different numbers of cylinders...
Thanks man
Ty
Great vid!!
Let’s make something up, let’s calculate the ACM or ‘active cubic meters’ meaning the amount of engaged cubic meters firing at the engine
I like it, a new system of measurement. Like horsepower, but better 😄👍
@@ReignitedAuto I think the flat plane crank produce more of that bang using the same overall displacement. Idk lol
Can you go over how a mopar's rear end works, I've rebuild one on a 2017 ram 1500 but I'm curious how it is similar to the dodge rear wheel drive car
Thank you for explaining that formula, although I will admit there’s no way I could solve that formula even with a calculator. 😂
Just found your site. I just purchased a used grand Cherokee 92 with the 5.7. No start and no run situation. I was inspecting the spark plugs and found 2 of them smashed on the driver side. 2 on passenger side with oil. Is this engine salvageable?
Did not expect to hear the number pi 😂
So if a cylinder goes past the top of the block is that number subtracted from the total.?
Good evening, I would like to ask you a question, the oil pump of a hellcat 6.2 can be installed without any problem to a ram 1500 engine, 5.7 2022, do I need to make a modification to install it or does it fit perfectly? I saw your video and now I'm worried my vehicle is new it is working perfectly but I would like it not to have a problem in the future
On a four stroke engine cycle, at 1000 RPM would a 6.0 liter engine consume 6000 liters of ‘air/Fuel’ volume or would it he half that because every other stroke is a power stroke ?
Hey man, quick question: which variables result in a more powerful/agile engine? I know that there are several for each part but it's all very confusing😅
That's actually a great question, and one that has a very long answer 😄. The simplest way to look at is is that your engine is an air pump, the more air it can get in/out, the more power it makes. This is why an intake helps, because it helps the air to get in, this is why a larger exhaust helps, because it moves more air out. Cams accomplish both. Usually all of these things working together is what gives the best results. For my part, I think bolt ons like that are sort of a waste of time/money. I like to go straight to forced induction supercharger/turbo because you get more power for your money. 👍
@@ReignitedAutoawesome! And I'm assuming that the lesser the time between piston cycles the more performant your engine becomes in turn, such that wider pistons and smaller rods are "better" for overall performance. Is there anywhere else where I can get more information on the subject of engine design? (I'm taking on a very long-term project for fun and I figured I'd start with the engine).
🤟👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆.That illustration with the oil bottles was P.H.E.N.O.M.E.N.A.L
You going to dyno tune your 5.7 challenger with 6.4 cam build. The people want to see
Helpful thanks. 🙂
I watch your videos and they are super helpful. Thank you. Idk if you will respond because I know you get alot of comments but I was wondering if you could give me advice. I'm replacing a cam on my 5.7 hemi due to the notorious lifter tick and was wondering is it okay to keep the old timing chain on it or replace it? The chain has 135000 miles one. Thank you.
That's actually a tough question. For my own builds I'm completely fine with reusing the timing chain because we really don't see many if any timing chain failures. However, if I'm recommending to a customer I'll probably say to replace it just to be safe.
@@ReignitedAuto thank you for taking the time to respond I really appreciate that. The reason I ask is I replaced the cam in my charger rt and the timing came of. Didn't do to much damage just chipped one of my pistons and bent a valve on the same side but the other side looks fine. I haven't taken the valve cover off to see what may have caused the chain to come off yet but I didn't want the same problem to happen on my jeep. I may have tighten something down to hard or didn't tighten it good enough on the cam tensioner or maybe the timing was off. It was my first time doing it. Thank you and keep making videos man I love the knowledge you give very helpful 👍👍
господи, единственный чел во всём интернете, который НОРМАЛЬНО объяснил наконец-то, что все эти цифры значат
I get it now , thank, I am glad I got the 283 , now I feel better .
Never thought I would need math outside of school
just realized Chrysler is the only MnFcter to throw big ass truck engines in ANY car 😂
Why don't they make 5 liter v twins or 2 liter v8s? Why aren't all engines i6 for natural balance? Would a 5 liter i6 make the same power as a 5 liter v8?
Okay but like how do I figure out what will fit into my engine bay ......man this shit is impossible to figure out....I didn't complete highschool but I'm not completely stupid.....I just need help with this shit and unfortunately neither of my father's are much help(complicated childhood😅)
That is the challenge! In my case I like to jump in with both feet and see how much needs to be cut out 😄. It's the best way to learn in my opinion, just do the best you can with what you've got and your skills will grow every new project you work on. 👍
What it means is if you’re of driving age and don’t know what it means you need 1.5L or less in a car and 150 on a bike.
Thank You Steve Wilkos
😄 I haven't gotten that one yet, looked him up, ya I can see it lol.
Dumbass me always thought it means the amount of fuel the cylinder bores can contain if you filled them up.
Would a 1.5 liter engine have less torque and hp than a 5 liter engine? because (i assume) it has more space for fuel and air leading for a better combustion but worse fuel economy? sorry its a research about the differences between engines for my highschool automotive class, im not the most knowledgeable about cars, but i would be more than happy if you responded sir!
That's exactly right, the 5L engine has 3.3 times the displacement of the 1.5L engine so you are going to be using 3.3 times the amount of fuel during normal operation. Now one thing to understand is that it's not really a direct correlation between engine size and the amount of fuel that is used because engine design differs greatly which effects engine efficiency. Usually smaller displacement engines are more focused on good fuel economy with lower power numbers, whereas large displacement engines are more focused on power rather than fuel economy. 👍
@@ReignitedAuto thank you!!!
So we are strong but cant handle cc
Is their differences thats what we want to kno not cauculation In size
3.14 for what ?
The word is multiply. 😆
Why do Americans use the metric system for liquids and nothing else?
We have a passion for confusing everyone 😄
Manufacturer's love to round up. Bigger is better after all. 😆
Macejkovic Burg
Is this the dude from the Green Mile?
Is it 5.7 liters each stroke?
You can't really think of it that way because the pistons are at a different point in their stroke in relation to each other. Just think of it that it's a full 5.7l after all 8 pistons have gone through their cycle.
how can i understand engine names
Which names do you mean? Like: coyote, Hemi, LS? Or big block chevy, small block, SOHC things like that?
