Solved-It's an I6: Is the Wentward engine an I4 or an I6?

Me and @Softair (who is currently banned because of shitposting ) are once again debating on whether or not the bus engine is an inline 4, or an inline 6.

Proof for inline 6:
- 6 Cylinder housings

- Wiki says I6

- Uses I6 sounds

Proof for inline 4:
- 4 Exhausts connected to turbo

 

What does the in-game parts selector say? This engine might have that odd exhaust header that some old old V8 engines use, where two exhaust ports converge into one exhaust header pipe

 

The engine looks like the Detroit Diesel Series 50 which was used in transit buses, but it looks more to be a 6 cylinder. We really can't know 100% for sure until a dev tells us or the engine model gets updated to be less ambiguous (which is highly unlikely).

 

yeah, some engines (especially industrial/low performance applications, as well as vintage engines) share exhaust ports, as displayed in the video above
also would be unlikely imo for a bus of this size to have any less than 6 cylinders

 

This thread was interesting lol

 

it should also be mentioned that the engine sound much more closely resembles an I6 than an I4, and both sound samples are named as "I6D".

 

Thank you!

 

Also according to the intake manifold, the radiator looks like an intercooler
