Engines' aggragated technical data for a presentation

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the difficulty of obtaining comprehensive technical data for internal combustion engines across various applications, including light duty, heavy duty, marine, and aviation. The requester seeks aggregated information such as power, capacity, weight, dimensions, and fuel consumption metrics, noting that existing online resources are often incomplete. Participants acknowledge the challenge of finding such detailed data and share a few useful links to resources that provide some of the requested information. Despite the limitations of these sources, they offer a starting point for gathering engine specifications. Overall, the conversation highlights the scarcity of consolidated technical data in the automotive field.

Hi everyone!

I am trying to make a presentation concerning up to date internal combustion engines for different applications (light duty/passenger cars, heavy duty, marine/low rpm, aviation etc). I don't need any charts just sheer numbers of power, capacity, weight, engine dimensions, consumption(lt/h)/BSFC(g/kW). I tried to google them, but apart from the fact that the data I found were incomplete (e.g. I couldn't find engine weight and dimensions for passenger cars), it is also impossible to check every engine one by one (light duty applications alone may consist of hundreds of engines). So, I would be really grateful if someone could provide me with any source of information (books, technical papers, data bases etc.) that would have all these technical data aggregated (e.g. in the form of tables). Thank you in advance!

Good luck with that request, and welcome to the real world. Data like this is tough to find, and almost never as complete as what you want.
 
Thanks! Yeah it's really hard to find but with some help I' ve found a few things. Of course the data is incomplete as you said but it's better than nothing. I post the links here in case someone else needs them.

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'
We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
