Inline-six cylinders are making a comeback. Now that smaller turbocharged engines offer better power and better fuel economy, smooth I6 engines are making their way back into engine bays. The three best for 2020, according to Ward's Auto, in the 3.0L I6 in the BMW M340i (B58), the 3.0L I6 in the Mercedes GLE450 (M256), and the 3.0L I6 in the GMC Sierra 1500 (Duramax 3.0L).
Each of these engines are quite different, even though they're all the same displacement. The BMW is purely gasoline, the Mercedes is an electric-gasoline hybrid, and the GMC is a diesel. There's a wide variety of innovative technology used, like twin-scroll turbochargers, variable intake manifolds, variable geometry turbochargers, 48V hybrid systems, infinitely variable valve lift, and incredibly high fuel injection pressures. Check out the video to learn all about 2020's best I6 engines!

@Jeronimo Stupenengo Pefaur That's a bit of a myth actually they don't actually rev very high, typically around 8-9000rpm which not only lots of piston engines can do. Not even getting into motorcycles where they make 1.4l engines that can rev to 12000rpm which is far higher than any mass produced rotary ever. Rotaries are very smooth and balanced and have no parts changing direction suddenly which in theory makes them suited for high RPM operation, but in reality they are limited by the apex seals which if you rev the engine too high are quickly ground down to dust.

@PatrickRich 4 жыл бұрын

"torque alone is a very meaningless number" THANK YOU! I wish manufactures would give us something like an "average power" figure, which would tell the story of actual usable power and ignore torque. Ideally just letting us see the entire power curve, but thats not likely to happen.

@sterlingroberts6240 4 жыл бұрын

Patrick Rich average power would break the car world. I'm surprised it's not featured on every dyno chart during the tuning/testing process. Cars that emphasize midrange power would have an advantage there, though. Each vehicle demands a different torque curve for each application, but I don't like engines that taper off way before redline. I want a relatively flat torque curve with a boost from mid to high rpm! Otherwise, it feels like the engine’s full(street/budgetary/realistic) potential is wasted.

@PatrickRich 4 жыл бұрын

@@sterlingroberts6240 I realize its a concept that would take some time to sink in, but the fact that we use torque and hp separately now suggest that the market is very receptive to assimilating numbers that sound impressive but that aren't face value meaningful. Average power isn't a cure-all but at least its apples to apples without having to disclose the rpm range or use caveats.

@sterlingroberts6240 4 жыл бұрын

Patrick Rich yeah. Because gearing can vary so wildly, what we really need is at least a rough approximation of the dyno chart with information on average power made during the two main driving styles(as I see it). Think of the BRZ: it has rather high power at low RPM(for a high-revving NA 2.0L), from about 2,000 until 3,300, and again, rather high power(for a not excessively peaky NA 2.0L) from 4,600-7,000. If you’re driving with fuel economy in mind, 2,000-3,300 is an important place to know average power, because if average power is high, and you only request low power, the engine just doesn’t inject as much fuel, giving you better fuel economy. Win. If you’re putting your thing in it, 4,600-7,000 is quite wide of a power band, and average power there is what matters to THAT driver. Full disclosure: I actually appreciate the so-called dip in the BRZ because I see it for what it is. Pick a driving “mode” and shift around it, or buy an automatic. You’ll get more of everything on both sides for your “trouble.” Sorry for the tangent, but yeah, average power is a pretty awesome concept, though luxury cars(flat torque curve) will probably always have the win here.

Power only matters at the high end. Power needs time to develop. If you look at the formulas HP=Torque x RPM, when RPM=0 HP=0. So if you are interested in which engine will launch your car quicker from a deaf stop, torque is what matters. Once it gets moving, HP takes over. So, both numbers matter.

@rightwingsafetysquad9872 4 жыл бұрын

@@itsm3th3b33 Torque matters for hurried street driving because you're generally starting low in the rev range and it gives the feeling of more power. And it matters for towing because it let's you use a higher gear increasing efficiency. But if you're worried about setting lap times, it's power that matters. If you have more power and less torque, you can use shorter gears to make more wheel torque, which is ultimately what matters, but that is with the assumption that you're already in the high end of your rev range. Higher torque allows a common set of gear ratios to be suitable for a larger variety of uses. It's important to remember that we're talking about peak torque and peak power, an engine that is making more power than another at a given engine speed is also making more torque at that speed and vice versa. Truck guys and Tesla fanboys generally don't / can't explain it this way, but they're not wrong when they say peak torque matters more than peak power for their purposes.

I believe that BMW does actually vary the throttle valve opening but for the purpose of quick boost control. At least the logs I have seen from valvetronic equipped engines has had throttle valve not completely open at WOT. There is a MAP sensor pre and post the throttle valve which would indicate they are using it to precisely control boost pressure in the intake manifold. A side effect is it allows them to have a few PSI on tap without waiting for the turbo to spool up. There also appear to be some control related advantages to targeting a pressure differential over the throttle valve. Valvetronic is just another bonus on top of all that.

The outstanding IL6 engine of 2020 is BMW's B57D30C 3L quad-turbo diesel. It produces 400PS (394 hp) and 760 Nm (561 lb-ft) torque - more power and a lot more torque than any of the engines featured here for the same displacement.

Jason, I wish you would get the specific fuel consumption graphs for the engines you are talking about. AS I am sure you know, they are fantastic documents that can really tell you a lot about the real efficiency of one engine design and the next and help us all see the differences as well as the most efficient RPMs to run your engine at. I find that they are usually available for industrial engines but virtually impossible to get for automotive engines. It would be so interesting to look at the FCA Pentastar engine over its lifespan and see how the improvements have helped the efficiency and power improve. Anyhow, perhaps some car company will make them available to you.

I have been so sick of explaining to people on this torque nonsense. Most just don't get it and insist on high torque = best acceleration.

@exothermal.sprocket 4 жыл бұрын

Torque is the actual twisting force. That's where it all starts. POWER is a measure of several formulaic factors, including time and distance. Power is a more inclusive factor, makes more tangible sense to people. Torque is a factor some of us prefer to know, because it usually applies to low RPM situations. Take a whimpy torque motor and spin it to 20,000 rpm and you can get immense work done, but it doesn't punch you in the backside off the line. It's less satisfying until everything is screaming many seconds later.

Hey Jason I was wondering which of the two following scenarios was better for brake longevity. Assume that you have to come to a stop in a known distance, such as a stop sign. 1. Start braking early and lightly to ease to a stop. 2. Engine brake for as long as possible, then hit the brakes to come to a stop while being reasonable. I know #2 is technically less safe, but the question is essentially comparing time vs intensity of braking for brake pad life.

Fantastic video to satisfy the engineering nerd rumbling within! One note on the graphic you used in a previous episode and again here at minute 6:35 of the video. The graphic displayed in blue to indicate Stroke dimension of a cylinder is placed close enough to the center point of the diameter of the cylinder, that it may for a second be confused as dimensioning the radius of the cylinder. For new learners, it may cause a few seconds of confusion (admittedly things should clear up further into the video). Just a thought to scoot it to one side so that there is no possible confusion, as since this is an explainer video, if it can potentially be explained more clearly, even a little bit, why not? Really trying not to sound like a smug annoyance, just thought it could be helpful. Now I'm off to watch the other linked videos you have in the description :) Great work! Also, congratulations and much success to your marriage :)

@roflchopter11 4 жыл бұрын

Regarding the drag race, if you want all engine to hold a gear to certain vehicle speed, your gear ratios are proportional to the desired shift speeds. So a vehicle with twice the redline speed had twice the torque multiplication due to the transmission and is also operating at twice the engine speed for a given vehicle speed (at least in first gear)
