@feldmancjlivonia: Feels like 6-cylinder engines are getting harder to find… That’s because a lot of brands are moving toward turbocharged 4-cylinders. They’re smaller, more efficient, but still surprisingly capable 🧐. What do you think about this? 🤔 #automechanic #cartok #autorepair #cartok #jeeplife
A 4cylinder engine doesn’t belong in a full size truck

So. 300 horsepower is 300 horsepower. It takes X amount of fuel and air to make that power. It doesn’t matter if you do it with 4,6 or 8 cylinders. What does matter is how you get that air into the combustion chamber. 8 cylinders can easily draw in that amount of air. 4 cylinders need to have some kind of forced pressure to achieve that same amount of air. Thus increasing heat, wear and stress on internal components. Longevity and durability will suffer. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. A 300 hp turbocharged 4 cylinder engine is a very high performance engine. A 300 hp 8 cylinder engine is extremely mild. It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to understand that. 👍

And it lasts a 1/4 as long because it’s struggling to do that. And that’s why you have a long block in a dealer.

adding turbos is adding more failure points

Turbos destroy engines. We’re seeing that right now many engines are failing will very low miles. Don’t be fooled.

annnnnd thats why they are breaking so easily now because your having to squeeze all that power out of a engine that when naturally aspirated it makes 140 hp and your jamming a turbo on it to get to 300 and theeeeen putting it into a heavy a** suv or car

Not as reliable. It doesn’t get better gas mileage. It’s just cheap cheaper for the manufacturers so the manufacturers get more profit.

So if they can make a four cylinder engine now that makes as much power as an eight cylinder, I’ll take an eight cylinder as powerful as a sixteen cylinder then.

I will always prefer a v6 making 300hp than a 4 cylinder making 300hp.

Id say 4cyl turbo should be in things that don’t pass the 4k or less weight limit putting a 4cyl in an suv is ridiculous especially in towing applications 😭😭😭
