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.

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
