Double or half your engine for no reason at all

If you have an inline engine, double it into a V and tell us the specs. If you have a V engine, half it into an inline and do the same? Why? Because it’s Sunday and you’re bored!

Half of my Corvette engine would give me a 175 cu.-in. (2.9L) inline four making a whopping 175 horsepower! Sounds like a mutant Iron Duke.

Double my engine would be a twin turbo, 2.8L v8 with 328 hp and 368 lb ft of torque.

So like the Ford truck v6 but with more cylinders.

This doesn’t look so bad, but sub-250HP for any V8 is terrible. The already low mileage would probably take a hit, too. Guess I’d be malaise era spec then lol.

Doubling my Twingo’s 1.2 inline 4 would give a 2.4L V8, 32 valve engine with 150 hp and 214 Nm(158 lb-ft) of torque, so still no powerhouse.

On the other hand the 308's 1.6 inline 4 diesel engine would give a twin turbocharged 3.2L V8, 32 valve diesel, with 240 hp and 600 Nm(442 lb-ft) of torque, so that engine would have roughly all the torques.

4.OH turns into an 8.0 V12. 380Hp, 448 lb-ft. Don’t think it’ll fit in the MJ’s engine bay tho.

The Niva gets an underachieving 3.2 V8 with maybe 160hp, 180 lb-ft. If that’s even accurate, pretty well every publication lists different numbers.

I’ll do both of my engines.

The first will be a DOHC all aluminum Atkinson cycle 3.6 V8 with intake VVT, 192 HP, and 210 lb-ft. However, it’d have 40% thermal efficiency, so it has that going for it. And, it’d also have double the electric motors and presumably battery, so it’d have 242 system horsepower.

The other will be a DOHC iron block, aluminum head 3.7 (it rounds up to 3.7, not 3.6) V8 with 280 HP and 238 lb-ft.

The VW EA888 1.8 TSI in my 2015 Passat is 1.8 liters and 180 hp of German fury.

If I double it, I’d get a 3.6L twin-turbo V8 with 360 hp. That sounds terrifying in theory. A front wheel drive turbo V8 is a recipe for disaster in my mind.

If I half my engine, I’d get a 0.9L turbocharged inline-2 with about 90 hp. It basically sounds like a Fiat TwinAir engine, which isn’t a bad thing.

Not always - a 180º V and a boxer are actually two different things.

Externally, they look identical, and some “boxers” are actually 180º Vs (I’m looking at you, Ferrari and the Porsche 917), but the crankshafts are different between a boxer and a 180º V. A boxer has pairs of pistons reaching TDC and BDC at the same time, whereas a 180º V has one piston reaching TDC when the other is reaching BDC.

If we take the engine from my DD, we’re looking at a 5.0 V8 of 314 HP - ho hum. But I’d prefer an I8 instead just to be different.

Now if we took my ex’s car we’d have a 7.2l W12 with 600 HP. That sounds pretty good to me. Or we could just get weird and make a 150 HP VR3. They made a 150 HP VR5, so why not lop off two more cylinders yet have the same output? Think of all the small cars that could fit into...

Or we just go crazy with the vehicle I wish I had. A 305 HP twin-turbo VR6 does seem a little low compared to what VW actually produced, so how about we make a 1,120 HP 12L quad-turbo W24?

The MX6 would have a 1.25L 3cyl making barely 100hp and 110 Nm. Not ideal..... I feel like this game kinda screws over those of us with small displacement V engines. Although my 900kg Hyundai Accent would have a 3.0L V8 making 180hp but probably revving to the moon. Dad’s Peugeot 207 GTi would be fun, a 3.2L TTV8 making 350hp and over 500Nm of torque!

Hals my LS2 would mean a 3.0L inline 4. So 385 rwhp, so then I’d have 192.5 rwhp.

2.6l 110hp V8, technically if I upgraded cam and injectors it’d be 150.
