V4 engine?

[burnin240sx]

i'm in the market for a new 240 and i've been crusin ebay and found this ad. the car features one of the rare V4 engine.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...=6396

this is just 2 funny.

[240SXedUp]

I dont understand. He never said anything about a rare engine. V4 is just another way of saying 4 cylinder if thats what ur saying. Its just people dont usually say V4

Not true at all, a "V4" engine, would have to be a 4 cylinder in a V format. A KA24E (in that pignose) is an INLINE 4.

There is a HUGE difference between an I4 and a V4.

geez. can i have the last 5 seconds of my life back please?

LOL, Yea me too.

[240sxGT]

Yeah I'm with Mike, Lets make fun of the guy who has tried to keep his 240 in good shape and seems to be honest and upfront about any thing wrong with it as he is trying to sell it, even providing pics of any bad spots.

[extheflow]

maybe he has a subaru swap.:rolleyes

[duey]

subaru's have boxer 4's

only thing that i know that has a true V4 would be motorcycles, like my honda VFR750, but then not ALL bikes are V4's my other bike GSXR600 is an inline 4

[AznRide]

Used wrong term, point well made for his product, case close! Now, 750 for the 240, sounds like a good project car for me.

[Zydeco]

I think toyota made a v4. I forget car it was in.

yeah, people dont usually say "V4" because almost nobody has a V4.

its an inline 4, or I4.

[themadscientist]

ford built one but I don't think they ever put it in a car and that Honda VFR400 I cannibalized had a V4. People arbitrarily throw out terms they don't understand. I see adds in the paper all the time for Skylines with "V6" engines. Of course the new one has a V6 but I guarantee someone will put it in the parer as an "I6". I love telling closeminded musclecar guys I have a hemi, they always say "B.S. only chrysler built hemis" :rolleyes I end up having to explain to them what exactyl "Hemi" means, tards.

[SeVa-S13]

Aww, but TMS, then they won't feel special about their horribly antiquated technology. Let 'em dream...

[themadscientist]

Well I give respect when it's due and those old lowtech mills could generate some power! I love musclecars and new high revving boost motors the same way I wouldn't want to chose between vanilla or Chocolate ice cream I refuse to take a side, both rock for different reasons. V8 guys who discount efficiency or Import guys who curse huge displacement and rocker arms simply because it doesn't fit their paradigm are equally stupid IMO. The dyno don't care, it doesn't count cylinders, displacement or date the engines technology, it reads power figures:D

[240SXedUp]

Well said TMS

[extheflow]

subaru's have boxer 4's

boxer4=180degree V4 in my book.

[IvoryJ30t]

if theres 180 degrees of cylinder bank seperation, its no longer a V configuration.

[GEO]

MORE like 4I

[Nathan]

Or you could just call a "boxer" engine a FLAT 4, you know...since thats what they are and all.

[Cold_Zero]

or H4.

[BadMojo]

Ford and Lancia made some V4 engines. Maserati did too.

What's this thread about again? I mercifully forgot.

V8 juice with half the calories.,,,get it? Oooh tough room

[thes14project]

wow....That's it....wow.....and now a joke,,,

A lady walks into a grocery store and buys a weeks worth of tv dinners, a tub of sour cream and a gallon of milk. She then procedes to the checkout line. As the man is scanning her groceries he says "ma'am may I as you a question?" "Sure" the woman replies. "Are you single?" the cashier asks. "Why yes I am" the woman replies "did you figure that out because of the food I'm buying?" The cashier looks up at the woman very seriously and says "nope". the woman then asks "How then did you know I was single?" The cashier again looks up at the lady and says "cause your ****ing ugly"....hahahaha

[Cyberkreig]

arent just about all motors hemi?

[themadscientist]

no there are still more than a few wedge heads being produced

[Cyberkreig]

well. since this is a boring thread, I'm going to try to hijack!

Hemi refers to a hemisphereic shape to the combustion chamber. IE a rounded head face. right?

I havent had the luxury or experience of ripping apart motors. So can you tell me (and others that might not want to ask) which manufacturers use HEMI technology and which dont? And if it applies which nissan motors uses HEMI?

[MikeMurphy]

Im pretty sure most heads consist of a concave setup as it squeezes all the air to the middle and thus a bit of a faster burn. It is also used on some pistons to move the force of detonation from the piston rings to the center of the piston.

Is this really all there is to it?

[Cyberkreig]

I dont think its that simple. I understand the 'space in the middle' to be quench area. Something also created with piston shape. But i dont know if quench & Hemi are realated

[themadscientist]

hemi=crossflow
