Why did the i5 die?

>>14009595
It didn't. Audi still uses a far few of em, and I think there are some others as well.

Because odd-numbered cylinder engines are inherently unbalanced?

I hope you're trolling you big faggot.

Advancements in turbocharging.

>>14009600
Volvo is on their final run
Vw have the 2.5
Acura vigor
Chevrolet colorado

These are the i5s i could think of off the top of my head.

>>14009693
The I5 was in the old Colorado. GM no longer sells gas I5s or I6s, that engine family was retired.

I knew it was inevitable that it would be doomed when they didn't replace the Vortec 4300 V6 in the base Silverado with the 4200 from the Colorado/Trailblazer.

>>14009693
The Ford Powerstroke 3.2 liter in the Transit is a I5 turbo diesel

>>14009739
You can get that in new Rangers too, right?

Probably rattled itself to pieces. If you want a real engine get an I6 like an RB26. It was designed for one thing only, to kick yuropoor cars asses.

Because they're inherently unbalanced and less smooth that an inline 4 or 6.

I5s have better harmonics than I4s. I4 is a layout that was chosen purely for packaging reasons. The only problem with the I5 is that if you have the room to fit one, you probably have room to fit an I6, which is a layout that has a genuine engineering reason to exist.

Because its used by European manufacturers. i guarantee you if it were designed and build in japan it would be viable. Just like germanys rotary

>>14011085
this makes no sense, you know toyota and honda have made i5s right?

>>14011004
Is it a meme that nobody on this website knows how to take pictures upright?

Yeah because Rangers are actually out doing work as opposed to their own only redeeming quality is the fact their dad co-signed a truck for him.

Know your place, faggot.

4chan removes EXIF data. EXIF data is used in cellphones for photo orientation.

>>14009595
They weren't very popular to begin with, and share similar packaging problems to I6's

>>14012824

Holy shit this explains so much

I knew exif data got removed but I never realized orientation would be included

>>14009595
I6 is better, slightly more hood length needed for similar displacement/cylinder vs I5

Why not just widen the block a tiny bit and make a big bore I4?

The I5 was doomed to fail.

Its not dead, still probably the best sounding small displacement engine ever. The anons no nothing about balancing and smoothness, they act like other engines don't have any harmonic balancers. And don't forget that turbo i3's are all the rage right now, a very very inherently unbalanced and rough engine. I dear you to show a real quantifiable difference between a well balanced i3 and anyother i4. Same goes for the i5 to the i6.

Dare* I always manage to emphasize the e that isn't there.

There he is. There he goes again. Look, everyone! He posted it once again! Isn't he just the funniest guy around?! Oh my God.
I can almost see your pathetic overweight frame glowing in the dark, lit by your computer screen which is the only source of light in your room, giggling like a like girl as you once again type your little Corvette vs GTR thread up and fill in the captcha. Or maybe you don't even fill in the captcha. Maybe you're such a disgusting NEET that you actually paid for a 4chan pass, so you just choose the picture. Oh, and we all know the picture. The "epic" Corvette vs GTR lap times, isn't it? I imagine you little shit laughing so hard as you click it that you drop your Doritos on the floor, but it's ok, your mother will clean it up in the morning. Oh, that's right. Did I fail to mention? You live with your mother. You are a fat fucking fuckup, she's probably so sick of you already. So sick of having to do everything for you all goddamn day, every day, for a grown man who spends all his time on 4chan posting about how GM is shit. Just imagine this. She had you, and then she thought you were gonna be a scientist or an astronaut or something grand, and then you became a NEET. A pathetic GTRfag NEET. She probably cries herself to sleep everyday thinking about how bad it is and how she wishes she could just disappear. She can't even try to talk with you because all you say is "1.27.10 LMAO" You've become a parody of your own self. And that's all you are. A sad little man laughing in the dark by himself as he prepares to indulge in the same old dance that he's done a million times now. And that's all you'll ever be.
