Thank you, i added it to my favorites. It's very interresting. :D

Is it a boxer engine??

Great site now I understand more about cars and other things and how they work.
Thanx.

Yes, because: opposite cilinders are mounted with an angle of 180°, and during the compression phase or exhaust phase, opposite pistons are 'boxing' away from each other

The official name is an opposed cylinder engine but the accepted name is boxer.

Excellet site

PS: the boxer engines are great except for the rough idle they all seem to share.
They sound great though

Great site, the first time i visited it i spent about four hours in front of the screen reading for all sort of things.

yet they and most of the auto world call it a flat (eg. flat 4cyl)

Porsche calls it a Boxer engine on their site actually
And Subaru calls it a Horizontallyy Opposed engine on their site
and those are the only two that I know of that use that layout.

haha i've used that site before mainly for visual aids to explain how rotary engines work to my gf.

Yeah I use that site a lot .. It got a lot of useful information.... I accully learn something fron that site more than I learn at school.. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Yeah- that site is very useful not just for car info, but info for many other mechanical devices and how they work.

I loved that site. Used it to help with my networking management course. My teacher had a test based on it a while ago, I barely passed lol. I had to draw the dam pictures they had.
