What Does 2.4L Really Mean In A Engine Of Car? by rifasenate11(m): 6:08pm On Apr 15, 2016 |
So probably you saw this car on OLX, and seller says V6 2.4l, and all; and its a cool car and looks cheap too, there are important thing you need to know before buying that car, i mean like what does it mean this car has 4 cylinders and 6 cylinders (V6)? yeah technically what V6 is? if you are going to buy a new car you need to know these basics before you purchase. so here is it; The way an engine works is that gas is pushed into the cylinder, then air is pushed in from the air filter, then the sparkplug makes a spark to ignite the air/fuel mixture to make a small explosion. This explosion moves the pistons up and down at a high rate of speed The more cylinders you have the more pistons you have moving up and down, and generally the more power you can make. Now this is not to say that you cannot have a 6 cylinder car that makes more power than a v8, or even a 4 cylinder car that makes more, it comes down to compression, and overall build of the engine. For example subaru makes some 4 cylinder cars that are pushing near 300 horsepower, while some great big 8 cylinders only make 200 or less. The V refers to the shape of the cylinders. in a V6 you have 3 cylinders on each side of the engine, all angled towards the center of the engine making a V shape. On most modern 4 cylinder cars all of the cylinders are in line. In many jeeps, BMW's and other cars their 6 cylinders are lined up. These are called inline 6's (or straight 6). The alignment of the cylinders shouldn't be a huge concern to you but that is what makes it a V6 or a I6. The L in 2.4L refers to the amount of liters of air that the car displaces on a full cycle of the pistons. The more liters the more power, simply put. Basically higher the number, bigger the engine, higher cost for maintenance, uses more gas, higher insurance, taxes and registration cost. 167 Likes 12 Shares |

Nice 1. I use a 4cylinder engine; 2.4l when I checked the specs online. Im still shocked cause it's a 2001 nissan altima, looks small but really it moves and it's pushy. sometimes I consciously have to use my toe to push the accelerator to reduce acceleration. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Not a bad writeup but from your last line I smell copy and paste, the very last three words doesn't apply in our society so how did you come up with that? Still not a bad enlightenment for those who never knew. 11 Likes |
