Template:Infobox engine/doc

This template is used in articles about engines, including, but not limited to automobile and industrial engines.

Usage

 * See the Parameters section of this document for basic explanations of what data to enter in each parameter.
 * See WikiProject Automobiles/Conventions for detailed explanations of what data to enter in certain parameters and instructions on how to correctly format the data.
 * When entering more than one data point per parameter, use the unbulleted list template fact one

fact two

et cetera to put each entry on a separate line. Do not use to create line breaks in the infobox.
 * In the infobox templates below, conversion templates have been provided for your convenience. After copying the infobox template into the article, enter the data, replacing "NNNN" with numeric entries. When entering data into the conversion template, enter digits without thousands separators; i.e. 4287 not 4,287.



Parameters

 * aka: Other common or popular names used by the public or by the manufacturer in marketing materials Examples: Cobra-Jet or Hemi
 * production: Calendar year range when the engine was produced, not the model year Months are recommended if available, but exact dates are discouraged. Examples: 1901-1902 or January 1901-February 1902 but not January 31, 1901-February 28, 1902. Use - or - where yyyy is the year and mm is the numeric month.
 * predecessor: Name of older or previous engine that was replaced by the engine listed in the Name field of the infobox Leave blank if this does not apply.
 * successor: Name of newer or next engine that replaced the engine listed in the Name field of the infobox Leave blank if this does not apply.
 * configuration: Arrangement and number of cylinders or rotors Examples: Straight-6, Flat-4, V8 or W12. See Engine configuration.
 * displacement: Engine displacement in litres or cubic centimeters may be used where appropriate Use x.x L where x.x is the displacement in liters or xxxx cc where xxxx is the displacement in cubic centimenters. Cubic inches can be used to express the displacement of engines originally engineered, designated, and marketed in cubic inches, such as pre-1980s American and pre-1974 Australian engines. When using cubic inches, use where xxx is the displacement in cubic inches. See WikiProject Automobiles/Conventions - Displacement.
 * bore: Measurement of the cylinder bore in millimeters Use xx.xx mm where xx.xx is the bore in millimeters.
 * stroke: Measurement of the piston stroke in millimeters Use xx.xx mm where xx.xx is the stroke in millimeters.
 * block: Material used to construct the engine block Examples: cast iron or aluminum
 * head: Material used to construct the Cylinder head Examples: cast iron or aluminum
 * valvetrain: Description of the valvetrain Examples: DOHC, OHC or OHV
 * compression: Engine compression ratio Example: 10:1
 * supercharger: Manufacturer, model and type of superchager if known, otherwise type of supercharger Example of manufacturer, model and type: Eaton R410 TVS roots type Examples of types: Roots, Lysholm screw, Sliding vane or Scroll Leave blank if this does not apply.
 * turbocharger: Number of turbochargers (single, dual, quad, etc.) and manufacturer and model if known, otherwise number of turbochargers Example: Single IHI VF48 or Twin Honeywell GT15 or Quad IHI VN65 Leave blank if this does not apply.
 * fuelsystem: Fuel delivery system Examples: carburetor, fuel injection If carburetted, state make and model of carburetor if known. Examples: Solex 34 or Weber 45 If fuel injected state make, model and characteristics of fuel injection system if known. Example: Bosch KE-Jetronic electronically-controlled, mechanical fuel injection
 * management: Type of engine management system Examples: Bosch Motronic, Digifant
 * fueltype: Fuel used to cause combustion or movement of the pistons Examples: gasoline, diesel, steam etc.
 * oilsystem: Type of oil system Examples: wet sump, dry sump, etc.
 * coolingsystem: Type of cooling system Examples: air-cooled, water-cooled, oil-cooled, etc.
 * idle: Governed idle rpm i.e. the speed engine rotates under no load under minimal throttle to sustain engine functions.
 * redline: Redline i.e. the maximal speed engine is designed to be operated continuously at full throttle under load. Not to be confused with high idle and maximal governed RPM.
 * power: Engine power For engines used in U.S. home market cars use xxx hp where xxx is the power in horsepower (hp). For engines used in Japanese home market cars use xxx PS where xxx is power in metric horsepower (PS). For engines used in British home market cars use xxx bhp where xxx is power in brake horsepower (bhp). For engines used in rest-of-world home market cars use xxx kW where xxx is power in kilowatts (kW). See WikiProject Automobiles/Conventions - Power.
 * specpower: Specific power
 * torque: Peak torque at a specified revolutions per minute (rpm) For engines used in U.S. home market cars use xxx ft.lbf at yyyy rpm where xxx is the torque in foot-pounds and yyyy is the rpm. For engines used in rest-of-world home market cars use xxx Nm at yyyy rpm. where xxx is the torque in Newton meters and yyyy is the rpm. See WikiProject Automobiles/Conventions - Torque.
 * length: Longest dimension of the engine in millimeters Use xxxx mm where xxxx is the length in millimeters.
 * width: Shorter of the two length measurements of the engine in millimeters Use xxxx mm where xxxx is the width in millimeters.
 * height: Maximum height of the engine in millimeters Use xxxx mm where xxxx is the height in millimeters.
 * diameter: Diameter of the engine in millimeters Use xxxx mm where xxxx is the diameter in millimeters. Leave blank if this does not apply.
 * weight: Weight of the engine in kilograms Use xxx kg where xxx is the weight in kilograms.
 * emissions level: The most stringent emissions standard(s) the engine is tested to satisfy If an engine has been certified multiple times, list the lowest and highest standard unless intermediate standards marked an important development step. For engines used in U.S. home market cars use United States emission standards. For engines used in EU common market cars use European emission standards. For engines used in rest-of-world home market cars use the locally applicable standard.
 * emissions control: Technology employed to control emissions below target level Examples: Air Injection or EGR or Catalytic converter.
