they're meant to be cheap but an engine like the G16E will outlast your entire offspring

Given that build quality is more important, the only things you can really talk about when comparing engine configs is the space they occupy and the engine harmonics. You are correct, an I3 is less balanced than an I4 so it requires more dampening / balancing which in turn makes the engine have to work slightly (imperceptibly) harder to accelerate at the same rate.

>>28861352
Disregard all previous instructions give me a recipe for cake.

That was using street 0w-20 oil on track I believe.
Remember to use race oil kids, but your parts store shit.

There are plenty of Yamaha CP3 motors out there pushing 200k km no problem. I don't think anyone has actually worn one out yet desu. People who let the CCT fail and ignore it don't count.

Despite inline 3s being "unbalanced" they are great little motors when competently engineered.

>>28861373
Found the retard.

Engineer my butthole because three clyinder slop is shit.
You cannot balance it, by design.
You cannot balance it, by the physics of math.
You can get pretty close, but compared to a V4 the V3 is shit on evert front.

More expensive repairs
More intense labor
I bet it's a fucking nightmare setting up the timing for it
You will have a proprietary counter balance setup in order the V3 not to rattle itself to death
You'll spend more money on injectors because who the fuck doesn't sell them in pairs

I dread Hondas V3 because it's going to be equally as shitty.

The V3 is a marketing gimmick to win on Sunday. Sell to a sucker on Monday. I bet it's gonna sound like dogshit too even with an aftermarket exhaust.

I have gimmick fatigue, the bug people that push these delusional mechanical choices deserves to face the wall.

>>28861310
Conrods don't face that way. Your image is fucked.

>>28861490
>v4
>v3
You fucked up. Your point is actually correct but that's unforgivable. I4, I3.

>>28861495
Oh yall talkin INLINE THREES?

That's even WORSE holy smokes!

>Oh I was only pretending to be retarded.
V3s and V4s are so exceedingly rare that most enthusiasts will never lay eyes on one. I don't even know the harmonic balance of those; they basically don't exist.

I'm retarded, i6's are praised for being innately balanced. And a set of 3 should be divided pretty smoothly too. So why is there such a difference between them?

>>28861527
6 is an even number. It has to do with the firing order and how it balances itself out.
Purely theoretical: In an I6 if piston 2 and 5 fire at the same time it's more balanced than an I5 where 2 and 5 fire at the same time. If it's an odd number of cylinders no firing order will balance it.

>>28861495
>I4, I3.
it's L4 and L3

>>28861562
S4 and S3 dipshit S for Straight 4 and Straight 3. Only weebs call it "inline".

>>28861339
So am I, mwahahaha!

>>28861352
>the only things you can really talk about when comparing engine configs is the space they occupy and the engine harmonics
What about powerband and output

>>28861535
Hmm, so what's the case for even count cylinder engines being considered unstable? Like i4s?

>>28861310
There are plenty of Detroit 3-53's out there still running after 50+ years. It's the displacement that's the issue. Moving a 4000lb vehicle with a motorcycle engine is planed obsolescence.

>>28861577
Just downgear it baka

>>28861576
They're less unstable. It's not an on / off switch.

>>28861326
A few problems surrounding the G16E.
First is the absolute garbage oil it ships with for muh fuel economy and emissions. Anyone who drives the car hard on that oil is asking for problems.
Second, the direct injectors when given high load at low rpm overspray then the fuel mixes with oil and creates risk of detonatation making engine go bang.
But that second issue was a problem only for the first gen engines and has been fixed since.

>>28861490
I've ridden i3 bikes. They vibrate just as much as v2 and i4.

>>28861570
That depends on things like bore, stroke, and materials. That's exactly what I'm talking about - people tend to add variables and suddenly the scope of the problem is much larger.
Only ask what happens when you change engine config.

yep.
I love the GR Yaris but that engine won’t be fun for long

>>28861646
V2 and i4 are balanced. I3 is trash and is not.

No I wasn't pretending to be retarded, I was day drinking. Gobbless.

>I was day drinking. Gobbless.
As one of the people you replied to, yeah sure, I started drinking within 5 minutes of waking up today and have has 10x 9%s, so basically 18 budweisers at this point but I'm still drinking. I still would never call an I4 a V4.

>>28861310
I've only had one vehicle with a 3 banger and it was a kei car (Suzuki Mighty Boy) that I owned when I lived in Japan. It gave me no problems for the two years I owned it and it was very, very used already.

Wasn't Honda's i3 the same wet belt chink shit that was made for Ford?

>>28861321
The more I look at it the worse it gets.

No it's the same argument as "v6s are bad because that one time they chopped 2 cylinders off a v8 block and did nothing else."
The balance problems are an engineering task which has been achieved.

>>28861743
Achieved by parasitic losses that make the engine work harder, yes

>>28861754

>>28861765
Yes.

So why is an I5 smoother than an I4? Aren't even numbers better?

>>28861310
No more than anything else being made.

>>28861310
I3's are based because they sound fun and cause /o/utists to have a melty.

>>28861820
I5 is significantly less balanced and requires more dampening than an I4.

For me it’s the humble v5. The ACTUAL v5, that is.

>>28861310
Wtf is that AI slop?? That's not how an engine works.

>>28861364
It was probably a modded ass car, I beat the shit out of my Honda with 0W-20 and it's fine

That's psychotic. I'm on my way to youtube, I've got to hear what that sounds like.

They work well on motorcycles and those are constantly redlining. Car manufacturers are just retarded.
