What's your Cylinder Index?

[jcp123]

Just add up all of the internal combustion cylinders in your possession (cars, power equipment, etc.).

Mine's easy since I don't have my own compressor, lawnmower, etc.

Mustang = 8
Harley = 2
Kia = 4
Toyota = 4
-----------------
= 18 cylinders for me!


Remember that he who dies with the most cylinders wins :p

[pimento]

Aww crap, I only have 3... one twin (pictured) and one single (little beastie).

[Mugen_Ferio]

8 for me. Both my cars are 4 cylinders

[kingofthering]

Baja SAE car - one cylinder, 305cc. :D

Not mine, but something I'm partially responsible for.

[acfsambo]

Falcon = 6 (Straight Six, woot)
Mower = 1
Edger = 1
Total = 8

(Household is 20)

[Matra et Alpine]

38 + 2 or 6 ? for the rotary :)

12 : 3x Matra Bagheera I4
6 : A610 ( V6 Turbo woot, woot :) )
4 : A40
4 : Espace QUadra
3 : VW Polo
4 : Peugeot 206
4 : Suzuki Bandit bike
1 : garden tools
? : RX-8 ( 2 rotor, 6 chamber )

[acfsambo]

I would say a rotory is 0 as there is no technical 'cylinder'

[NSXType-R]

13

1983 Honda Accord
1995 Acura 2.5 TL
2003 Subaru Forester

I was going to assume 12, but then I remembered the TL is a straight 5. Man that's an oddball car, I don't think Honda ever made another straight 5.

[csl177]

Well, that was sobering: 85.

12: BMW 3.0CS & CSL
12: Porsche 914/6 (2)
24: Porsche 911 (4)
6: Mercedes 280SL
4: Porsche 356
4: VW Microbus
4: BMW 700 (2)
8: Bertram 25
3: Hobie Power Skiff
4: GE Standby Generator
2: Honda portable generator
1: Honda Power Washer
1: Ryobi garden tool

[henk4]

C(3) + c(5) = 8.

[TVR IS KING]

300ZX + E36 316i = 10 cylinders.
Sounds great, but I'd be much happier if those 10 cylinders belonged to a Carrera GT instead :\

[demonrunning07]

That is really nutty. I never knew that Honda made an I5. I had to look that up because I didn't know if I could believe it. Is that DOHC with VTEC? That could make for some pretty insane(ly expensive) engine swaps. Sounds like the kind of thing Top Secret would do.


As for me, I just got out on my own feet and am still at zero cylinders. Don't even have a bike right now but at least I am saving lots of money :p

My niece in Canada had (has?) an Acura Vigor, which had an I5...

4 in the Golf...

I don't own anything else

Don't worry, even though I listed three cars, I don't drive any of them in any regular basis. I am car-less just like you.


My niece in Canada had (has?) an Acura Vigor, which had an I5...

Yes, the Vigor was before the TL. It's odd, Honda never made another I5 after the 2.5 TL. A good reason why they stopped making them was because the I5 is mounted longitudinally in the car, another odd thing to do. Honda engines are usually transverse mounted, so packaging must be a big reason why they stopped.

I don't know how much power it makes, but I do agree it's relatively torquey and it pulls very well once you're off.

[jcp123]

Hmm, not sure how to deal with rotary motors...

[Matra et Alpine]

no prob as was clear from start that Russel's flat 6es collection would create an insurmountable total until Jim posts :-)

[pimento]

I was waiting for Fleet to post his cadre of V8s, but I'm not sure that'll come close.

Anyone want to try and do Jay Leno's?

Haha, you'd have trouble with giving equivalency with steam engines.

Apparently not. It's a SOHC engine.

Honda G engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

No wonder I think it's so torquey- it has 177 hp and 166 ft lb of torque.

That would be the most torquey car in our lineup.

[car_fiend]

4 = nissan sentra
6 = chrysler 300
6 = dodge caravan

total 16 cylinders :)

[Cobrafan427]

8, all in my Ford LTD Crown Victoria (it was on 7 for a while, that was a joy and a half)

[coolieman1220]

Lets see,

335d - Straight 6
Audi Q5, 09' was a V6 but thats recently been upgraded for a turbo 4
Jetta is a 4 bangin diesel
Ducati Monster is a L twin

so that puts me at 16 cylinders and 7.8 liters of displacement.
702 horsepower
952 ftlbs of torque

no bad at all!

Do turbo's still get a 1.5 liter displacement multiplication? or diesels?

[clutch-monkey]

911- 6 cyl
nissan patrol- 6cyl
honda jazz- 4cyl
leyland mini- 4cyl
sundries:
victa push mower - 1cyl
deere ride on mower - 1cyl?
whippersnipper - 1 cyl

23 cylinders!

[GirchyGirchy]

Chevy truck - 8
Nissan Altima - 4
Mitsubishi Galant - 4
Yamaha Maxim-X - 4
lawn mower - 1
chainsaw - 1

Total - 22

Think I can add in my air compressor to tie clutch-monkey? It has a piston!

Anything with a piston counts!

[jcp123]

Damn, I am falling behind in the rankings LOL! I went from bronze medal to 5th place

My understanding is that it has to be an internal combustion piston - your compressor piston wouldn't count, but if it's run by an internal combustion motor, the cylinder(s) on the motor count!

Since you put up some other metrics...

Total displacement: 9,3l
Average # of cylinders: 4,5 cyl/vehicle
Average displacement: 2,33l/vehicle
Total # of camshafts: 9
Total # of valves: 52

Since I can only make an educated guess at the current HP of two of the vehicles and a less educated guess at the tq on them, I won't try to touch that one :)

[pimento]

Yeesh, my total displacement is 895cc.. so about 300cc/cylinder. I may have one carb per cylinder though, so there's that.

my triumph spitfire is also a six :p.. but i didn't add it since it's not running right now LOL

[coolieman1220]

I'll post up a new thread when she's complete but i bought another one. I love Ducky's too much!

[csl177]

Which will be gob-smacking. :D

Aw HELL no. Realizing how many ICEs I have to maintain was quite enough, thanks. No Displacement/HP/Torque/Valves/Cams/Cranks
or fuel consumption calcs from me. ;)

For awhile, I jokingly ranked my quality of life index by counting toilets maintained, 'cause the damn things are a constant problem in commercial property. At one point we had a total of 26... getting down to 14 was a relief! :p

[GirchyGirchy]

my triumph spitfire is also a six :p.. but i didn't add it since it's not running right now LOL

Crap, if that's one of the rules, I'd have to toss my Yamaha and the chainsaw off!

Well, maybe not the Yamaha, it sort of runs. After a carb swap I have high hopes for it.

[GirchyGirchy]

For 22 cylinders, I have a total of:

10.789 L displacement
636.5 hp
7 camshafts
70 valves (Yamaha is 5V/cylinder!)

[coolieman1220]

Well now we're putting in camshafts and valves?

7 camshafts for 58 valves.
8 exhuast tips for 4 vehicles
4 turbo chargers
54.1 gallons of fuel
20.1 quarts of oil
3920mm of tire width (including winter tires)

revised my math with proper specs:
703 horsepower average of 44 per cylinder, 90 horses a liter
977 ftlbs of torque. average of 61 per cylidner, 125 ftlbs a liter.

all that at a brand new price of $135,000 USD MSRP. almost $8,500 a cylinder, $192 a horsepower, $138 a ftlbs of torque & $17,307 a liter.

Ok back to work.

[Proffa]

Volvo = 5
Skoda = 4
Datsun = 4
Toro (snowblower) = 1
Partner (lawn mower) = 1
Tamica (trimmer) = 1

-----------------
= 16 cylinders for me!

[drakkie]

No wonder I think it's so torquey- it has 177 hp and 166 ft lb of torque.

Nope. I beat you to it :) This is going to be a long senseless post, but hell.. :D

166 ft/lb = 224.81 Nm in the internationally agreed unit system

That gives a ratio of Nm to hp of 1.2701 : 1

Now my Puma, on the last dyno-run had 142.1 hp and 184.6 Nm.

Which gives a ratio of 1.299 : 1

I win :D


Anyway, our households current cilinder count is 11:
4: Ford Puma
4: Citroen C5 Ph.2 2.0
1: Generator
1: Lawnmower
1: Chainsaw

[ruim20]

I think it's something like

4x in the Getz
4x in the Brava
1x in the compressor lol
1x in the Rc car

so it's about 2302.5cc for all exept the compressor, no idea of the ccs on that.

[henk4]

Do you?
A certain C5 has 205 BHP and 468 NM of Torque.....

[NSXType-R]

I'm not sure about winning either- I never said I had the most torque.

Coolieman1220 does have a 335d, which has quite a lot of torque.

[drakkie]

:rolleyes:

True however a diesel has offcourse very different characteristics, as you know all too well. It doesn't matter anyway, statistics are all just that, numbers. The driveability is what really matters on the road anyway.
Let's get back to topic :)

[Fleet 500]

Forgot the tow vehicle/flatlander SUV: Ford E350 Clubwagon V-10. Total is 95 cylinders. :o

It gots torque:
