What is a 2Y engine?

What is a 2Y engine?

2Y. The 2Y engine is an OHV, eight valve construction just like the 1Y. It shares that engine’s 86 mm (3.39 in) bore, but stroke is increased to 78 mm (3.07 in) for a displacement of 1.8 litres (1,812 cc). There are also 2Y-J and 2Y-U engines with differing emissions control equipment. OHV, eight valves.

What is the purpose of gearboxes?

The purpose of a gearbox is to increase or reduce speed. As a result, torque output will be the inverse of the speed function. If the enclosed drive is a speed reducer (speed output is less than speed input), the torque output will increase; if the drive increases speed, the torque output will decrease.

What car has a 4Y engine?

The Toyota 4Y engine dates all the way back to the 1970s. It was first seen in small light duty trucks such as the Toyota Stout, Hilace, Daihatsu Delta, and Australian built Toyota 4Runners. Virtually every gasoline or LPG engine used in forklifts today were originally used in automobiles.

What is a 1 speed gearbox?

Using a single-speed gearbox means the drivetrain acts like if you were in top gear in a combustion car. That gear has to move the car at all speeds, from 1 mph to whatever its top speed may be. And that’s fine, even considering that off-the-line acceleration could be improved by having a bonus lower gear.

Which type of gearbox is used in cars?

Modern cars use helical gears and synchromesh devices in the gearboxes, that synchronize the rotation of gears that are about to mesh. This eliminates clashing of the gears and makes gear shifting easier.

How does the size of gears affect the speed?

If the gears are of different sizes, they can be used to increase the power of a turning force. The smaller wheel turns more quickly but with less force, while the bigger one turns more slowly with more force. Cars and bicycles use gears to achieve amazing speeds our bodies could never match without help.
