Entry #2 Car Engines

           So recently I had been thinking about getting a new engine for my car (to get more power) and I started to look at all the types of engines that their are and It was very hard to choose from one. Every automotive company makes their own and they all vary in power and performance. some have a lot of power and some make very little power, some are big 12 cylinder engines and some are puny 3 cylinders.. Some are "V" engines ex. V6 or V8 engines, some are straight 4 straight 6 and all the way up to straight 10 engines (straight as in the cylinders are not in a "V" shape but rather in a straight line.)

       V6 engine    Straight 6 engine

Perhaps one of my favorite engines though would be the Mazda rotary engine. These engines are super small, they have no pistons whatsoever, very well balanced, and make crazy power! The only down side to these engines is that the seals they have in order to seal the different types of gasses will wear out very very fast and you will have to take the entire engine apart to replace the seals. Also as part of the engine desighn the engine is supposed to burn oil. 

 

This here is the rotary engine as you can see it has no pistons. What replaces the pistons is the triangle looking thing called the roter.

If you ever want to make an engine swap for more power make sure to do research and get the engine that is best suitable for you and your vehicle. Any engine can fit into any car with the right amount of money but not everyone has the brains to pick the correct engine to build and swap!
