  • Hi can someone tell me what is happening at 1:01 when the cylinder hits the 4 jointed thingy creating an explosion? How is the explosion created and what is it? Thanks in advance

  • bollocks! nothing like a subaru boxer I worked on em and they definatly don't have all that tv animation glitzy bullshit under the hood! (they do have dpf full of shit!) although they seem to insist on playing that music that sounds like your off to a funeral particularly in the show room! ;-)

  • Comment removed

  • was this done in 3ds max

  • fantastic soundtrack

  • diesel engine are great they sound great and they make smoke :D

    and they have power

    what do you want more from an engine?

  • @wav5000kb Diesel engine sounds great? Excuse me, it sounds like a commercial vehicle! And they may have power but diesel engines are turbocharged. Turbochargers work at a certain RPM and they will suffer from power loss during high RPMs.

  • @rvind92g

    then buy a bmw or a vw,and you will no more belive that!:D

  • @rvind92g modern commonrail diesel engines sound great especially with a good exhaust on them.

  • @krispage206 Well my father drives an Benz E280 diesel and the diesel clatter is there, plus it's sounds more like a refined commercial vehicle than a proper sedan. If they manage to make it sound sporty and meaner, then I wouldn't really mind a clatter. Diesels are good for the long-haul though, but I still prefer petrol.

  • @rvind92g I agree that some manufacturers diesel engines sound horrible (like the Corsa 1.3 diesel, thats just horribly loud) others make quieter/nicer sounding ones (like Peugeots HDI). Also have a listen to this Impreza diesel, it just sounds great watch?v=9kSJOAUYXJA

  • @rvind92g I think you've confused superchargers and turbochargers. Turbochargers work fine throughout the power band as long as they are sized correctly.

  • Can't wait to see one of these powering an STi

  • дайте два!!!

  • Bio-fuel compatible!

  • I have this in my 2010 Subaru Outback, and I can assure you it is a very good engine. In the 2.0 liter version it delivers about 150Hp and a torque of 350Nm from around 1800 revs. Having driven vw/audi's diesels before, I would say that this engien is right up there with them. The boxer layout gives it a characteristic sound, and low vibrations. It delviers extremely good milage too, for a car like this. You from the US will find more specs for the diesel at subaru.co.uk

  • Absolutely beautiful :) i want one

  • the japs could never make good diesel engines compared with euro ones..!!

  • @anitatime: You are soooo wrong! look twice ... and learn! This is the next level in diesel engines for automobiles.

  • es muy impresionante este tipo de motores

  • I wouldn't have thought such a thing possible.

  • Ignition? tht's not diesel.

  • @RAPXZibit there has to be ignition, whether its done with a spark plug, or simply through compression. no ignition, no combustion... no go :)

  • I think he is talking about the spark plug at 0:45. Diesel's don't use spark they use compression.

  • @K4KillerKilling "Diesel's don't use spark they use compression." [sic]

    thanks for that, thought i made it clear from my comment that i knew that already :P

    it does look like a spark plug doesnt it, that doesnt mean thats what it is, it could be a glow plug. you could ask subaru if you care enough to :)

  • @frackcha It isn't a glow plug, its in fact a fuel injector...the pressure of the air in the combustion chamber is so high that as soon as the fuel(diesel) is injected into those surroundings, it burns of/ combusts without much of a time lag. hence, giving u an impression of a glow/spark plug

  • @K4KillerKilling That is the injector. When the cylinder goes up, it spray the fuel and straight away burn because of high thermal energy. I bet this surely will have 240hp or more if it is 2.0.

  • @RAPXZibit Haha! You think diesel doesn't ignite?

  • im assuming the intercooler for the turbo is on top the engine because heat rises huh?

  • @72fordmaverick

    because of the hood scoop, they can get cool air running on it

  • '

    how about V-4

  • tourque monster! it feels so good being a subaru owner!

  • 119 people are blonde

    

  • huh pistons are diesel shaped but at 0.44 there is a spark from the glow plug?

  • @biketronic at 0:44 thats the injector injecting the diesel

  • Sweet lil engine!!!

  • @Smwebster2 lmao someones never been laid. Fucking cock sucking fag

  • ชอบเทคโนโลยี่ ซูบารุ สุดยอดมากครับ

  • very cool animation

    

  • Hmm, timing chain instead of a belt. Has subaru ever put a chain on any previous motors?

  • @mowgli2908

    re. timing chain,, yes the 3L 6

  • @RocketWRX

    yep 3L EZ30 H6 motors are chain and the 3.6L EZ36 have timing chains, oh and the new FB25 motors in new foresters have timing chains

  • excelent

  • PLEASE put a petrol engine on the FT-86 PLEASE!!!!!

  • @51madgecole51j spinner

  • @taschentuch1948

    re. mowgli2908 timing chain,, yes the 3L 6

  • I'm pretty sure your looking at the fuel injection, not a spark.

  • Diesel with spark?

  • @guisnu glow plugs not spark

  • @guisnu ignite under compression no spark

  • Classy animation. Thanks for the share.

  • why not just add four more cylinders to this demon.  a boxer 8. awd would be so extreme. all the muscle heads would be looking at a new sedan for the daily driver.

  • excelente video ;)

  • @smwebster2 sucka bag of dicks

  • These engines have great output&torque

  • is it expensive to maintain and repair boxer engines

  • @alitap Weird, had mine for 6 years and it ran like a top and didn't pay anymore than anybody else. The only bad thing about the boxer motor/awd, is if you have to replace one tire, you have to replace two. Other than that, it's a bulletproof motor!

  • that thing's go looads of torque! and good economy too

  • are there any disadvantages of a flat engine (true boxer or not)?

  • @JSnyder49428 yeah the bottom of the engine wears out faster..... hehehe HAHAHA lol

  • @JSnyder49428 opposite and equally opposing. 180 degree plane. More efficient and bulletproof.

  • subaru impreza wrx... very goood car in world!!!

  • оппозитники-форева!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

  • really great demo it does shows us how the boxer engine works

  • will it have the same crappyt pistons in it that are in the gas engines, that go bad and have piston slap in 40,000 miles

  • Where is it? It won't be in America. Our diesel has too much sulfur (supposedly) and our environmentalists keep out the cool stuff like this.

  • Diesel Engines MAY be slower, and lower in horses or Killer Wasps, but with a diesel you measure foot pounds in torque, torque is what makes a DIESEL great, the ability to hold on to that very last gear even though the strain is unbearable for a petrol engine, another benifit is diesel runs cooler :)

  • I am not from the 1950's more like the 1990's.

  • Cool

  • I hate diesel. Their slow sounds like crap feels mushy,old,and broken.

  • @cocooreo100 You must be from the 1950's then.

  • @cocooreo100

    you might be suprised with new diesels, especially in luxury sedans etc. very quiet, imperceivable knock, and good power

  • @cocooreo100 100% right. what annoys me is that people dont understand that. a diesel engine has to be much more carefully build to last long, and people still buy them even knowing that they were mad by peugeot, or renault or citroen, that dont know how to build cars, or sometimes people even think that french cars are good now because they were great 20 years ago. and with all this you end up with a country full of french diesel crap, or opel diesel crap, which is what happens where i live.

  • @ZeGeRiVeNz honestly dude? you gonna hate on diesel engines? you gonna hate on the french car builders? i challenge you to come up with some inventing new design that will revolutionize the automobile industry. IF you can't live up to that, i suggest you start your own car brand and try to rival the french. IF you can't do either of those, i suggest you shut up.

  • @selske23 hey, its just my opinion, if you like diesel and french, go ahead,buy one, but dont expect me to stop and help you when youre on the side of the road broken down. its just a fact that new french cars are bad, they came last on every survey, surveys that had the opinion of who owns the car, not just a guy that drove it one time. and its just my opinion, if you come here shutting people up just because people dont think the way you do and you have a megane dci, I suggest YOU to F*** OFF!

  • @selske23 what? just cause i dont know how to build a car i cant say which ones are good or bad? so by that logic you cant dislike a song if you dont know how to sing, you cant dislike camel testicles, because you dont know how to cook, and so on. i have my reason why i dont like diesel, those you can criticize by saying that diesel cleaner, cheaper and so on, but when i say new french cars suck, you have to agree cause theres evidence showing that their new models suck

  • great video, can any1 explain how subaru cars work if the cylinders fire out sideways ? i though exploding the fuel causes cylinders to move them up like in most cars..so how does it work ? any link to detail explination appreciated

  • @chainsore Its simple really... Explosions can happen sideways :P LOL. Seriously though it works exactly the same way as most other cars, the only exception is the cylinders lay on there side. Think of it like a V engine except the cylinders are layed out completely flat at 180 degrees instead of a 60 or 90 degree V. The intake of air and fuel followed by the 'explosion' is so fast it make no difference what angle the cylinders are at.

  • thanks for uploading this

  • Yea,,I have heard of VW's, Porche,,but Can not remember seeing a Diesel Boxer.

  • THE MOST POWERFUL ENGINE FOR HYBRID - PAUT MOTOR- YOUTUBE

    

  • diesels run on spark plugs now? science these days... :/ (LOL SARCASM)

  • Bring it! I want this engine so bad. Love me my WRX. Wonder what model would ever get mated with that engine in the US? Love. It's what makes a Subaru owner one for life!

  • @jpisthacoolest Hated to tell you this, but chances of anything diesel going to the U.S.A. is EXTREMELY low. I know from personal experience from living around the world. The American market prefers gasoline/petrol over diesel even though great diesel engines have been around for decades everywhere else in the world. That's why there are very few cars with diesel in the U.S. even though the majority of car lines have an alternate model fitted with a diesel and there isn't many diesel mechanics.

  • @Neopulse00 I hate that, I want a diesel Ford Ranger, like the European models, but NO... It'd be much better if America would invest in diesel vehicles.

  • @MotocrossPenguinPro Would be better, but there's no money in dirty gas that makes your car make less stops at the station.

  • @MotocrossPenguinPro there are 5 new ranger models being designed here and relased in africa and china that we cant touch and some of them are really really nice

  • @Neopulse00 It's not just consumers; it's California's emission laws making things difficult. They pass tough restrictions on sulphur and other particles so tough, Chrysler gave up trying to sell their Diesel Wrangler in the US. The Diesel fuel in the US is different, low sulphur and whatnot. Makes it more expensive to deal with.

  • @cinndave That is "IF" you live in California. California is terrible for importing. If you import on the east coast like FL you are less likely to run into emissions laws. I own 3 imported diesel cars and had no problem with emissions laws. The diesel over there might be refined differently than in other states also.

  • Subaru is only good for the motorsports imo.

  • @dafour86 how many Subaru cars have you owned to say that?Subaru cars are good for everyday usage as well!

  • Please watch:

    Rotary Engine & Boxer Engine Combination - A WORLD'S FIRST

  • @MDIVISIONRULES

    Agreed. There's a subaru for every persons need/personality. From the Outback to the WRX to the Legacy to the Forester to the Beefed out STi, there's a Suby for everyone!

  • German boxer engines have always been better.. then again they did invent it..

  • why does everyone like diesel cars? 

  • @TruAzn100 Torque

  • @TruAzn100 High torque at low rpms.

  • i think subaru would make a killing of a turbo diesel motor, look at how many people already buy subaru's both my brother and i have 06 STI's that are modded and the next car i buy will be an STI... just to recap i think it would be a great idea for subaru to bring turbo diesel to the US.

  • у меня на мопеде опозитка стоит)))

  • Да, сделал для себя открытие, что на на субару цилиндры оппозитивные, думал такое только на автобусы ставят.

    Привет механикам со всего мира

  • @elyseturi15 gey answer lol

  • Это бензиновый двигатель! Причем здесь дизель?

  • I would have said 800 - 1000 hp group-b rally car.....but those things frighten me....I mean the best drivers ever to live were beginning to get killed because the cars were getting too fast for the drivers. I'm good....but I'm not nearly as good as they were....possibly some day...but definitely not yet.

  • Please watch:

    WORLD'S GREATEST AMOUNT OF COMPRESSION RATIO ENGINE

  • Having said that....give me a 500hp rally car ANY day over a 900hp Drag car....

  • @darthjader08 alot more fun from light to light race

  • @IssaBendeck1 If you say so.....wait, no....any REAL driver keeps it off public roads with other people around. I'm not some kind of pussy who can't control a car at high speeds, but I know people who've crashed while engaging in such amateur activity, killing people in the process. If you're going to be a loser who can't keep it to secluded roads, and legally sanctioned racing events...you shouldn't be driving.

  • No, horizontally opposed engines are NOT more reliable....in fact the longevity of a horizontally opposed engine is statistically 14% worse than an Inline engine of the same displacement.

    ON THE OTHER HAND, due to reduced vibration on the crankshaft, you can crank boost pressures right up on a turbo charged Horizontally opposed engine...and it will run reliably....that's why you have some Subaru's and Porsches pumping out 800hp with very few internal engine mods, running reliably.

  • 2litre + tubo+ 4wd+boxer+ DREAM RIDE!

  • @weldon0m thats your dream car , ill fefinitly go for american most reliable engine ever made GMs CHEVY SMALL BLOCK the pain in the ass engine to most GM haters and the number one engine on the list of THE MOSTCOMMUN ENGINE SWAMP out of a list of 23 most commun engine swamp and gougle it so you know the subaru engine is number 4 in the list .

  • @IssaBendeck1 Wow....fanboi much? Nobody cares bud. The LS1 is popular as an engine swap because it provides decent performance, has been marketed as an engine swap, and is readily available and cheap. Not because it's superior to everything else out there....if Honda marketed the C32B as a cheap crate motor, it would be every bit as (if not more so) popular than the LS1.

  • Er no, the VW bus or camper had a diesel boxer engine in the 80's early 90's

  • Wonderful animation, I keep reading about how diesels are more thermal efficient than gas engines.

  • This is interesting. Subaru engines look quite small!

  • I think having a rally car with a highly modified one of these would be interesting to try

  • Those are injectors, new diesels time the injection of fuel much like you would time the spark events on a gasoline engine

  • @namele55777 thy dnt had spark plugs thy have glue plugs and these start by heat not spark

  • @CurtisNLF95 That's because Diesel has a flash point.....(induced by creating heat through pressure), whereas petroleum fuel does not.

  • @darthjader08

    "petroleum fuel" most certainly does have a flash point.

  • @ewfleisc Sorry, I worded that poorly, of course "petroleum fuel" has a flash point, everything does, but I was speaking in terms of practical use in a combustion engine.....and with petroleum fuels, you're better off not trying to make it work using the flash point of gasoline.

  • why are there spark plugs in the diesel?

  • @namele55777

    there aren't any spark plugs in the diesel engine. There are, however, glow plugs...

  • The pattern of the way the pistons move would cause a lot of vibration

  • @legox50 hah nooo, have you ever drive a beetle?

  • @legox50

    Usually boxer engines are the most naturally balanced engines around. By having pistons actually moving in opposition to one another they need less counterweight to reduce vibrations.

    Of course the biggest flaw is that the opposed pistons have crank journals that must be offset, this induces a vibration, having 4 or 6 cylinders reduces this quality. But if you check out a 2 cyl like a bmw motorbike they tend to have pronounced vibration from this issue.

  • If you live in the USA and want a diesel Subaru, "like" the Facebook page called "Bring Subaru Diesel to the US!" And give this a thumbs up so everyone sees it!

  • @abendroth85 The one I visited said "bring Subaru Diesel to Canada".

  • @abendroth85 I doubt some nonsense on Facebook would sway Subaru. Now, if the Jetta TDI suddenly started selling like mad then perhaps Subaru would seek to compete with it.

    Fact of the matter is, however, that no matter how many people like an FB page, the sales figures just don't back up diesel cars in the US. If they did we'd see a lot more than just a Volkswagen or two.

  • Please watch:

    World's Greatest Amount of Compression Ratio Engine

  • @TABAGfrancis No. Go fuck yourself.

  • @TestECull accept u can barely get your hands on almost all diesels here in the midwest... especially those vw tdi's.... people get it, its just the fact that when they push gas down our throat they kinda sell what they advertise... for instance.. have you seen a shoestore selling toothbrushes??? its the sales market aiming it, not the people

  • @onecylanderracer You are full of it. The American driver does not want a nasty, smelly, underpowered, anemic, clattery tractor engine in their car. If you advertise a diesel, they will assume by default it runs like farm equipment and won't want anything to do with it. Also, GM tried a diesel passenger car in the 80's, but their engine was a converted gasoline one so it was shit. Which doesn't help much.

    If you can break people of that false notion then you can sell diesels here.

  • @TestECull

    Just don't tell any Jetta TDI owners.... you can't even tell it's a diesel. Mine gets 50mpg in combined driving.

    It's not smelly, not clattery, and not anemic. Diesels now account for 40% of VW's sales in North America.

  • @JayTee441 I know TDIs are gasoline-quiet. It's not me that needs convincing. It's the masses that heard about that old Olds diesel that barely ran worth a damn, the ones that connect diesel with clatter and no power. They're the ones you need to convince.

    If I could get it in a RWD car with a manual I'd be all over a TDI.

  • @TestECull... lol if u say so, u refer to the worst thing ever that was attempted to save money... but underpowered??? i beg to differ... blown off alot of doors on so called tuner cars in my one ton dually whill pulling 15mpgs.... and have u heard the new diesels lately??? u dont, their just as quiet as ur overrated gassers and u dont smell them with todays 0 emmisions law... get up on the times kid

  • @onecylanderracer ...You are one dumb motherfucker. It took you one month to reply, one whole month to read my comment, comprehend what I was saying, hell even do a bit of research about the things I said, and yet YOU STILL FUCKING HAVE ME CONFUSED FOR THE FUCKSTICKS THAT HATE DIESEL!

    Shut the fuck up and don't reply to me again until you understand what I'm saying. You're not worth my time if you're too fucking stupid to understand plain English.

  • @TestECull So conclusively,you are in favor of diesel engines,but american buyers wont buy them right?

  • @MDIVISIONRULES Bingo. I'm all for diesels, they get excellent economy and are just as peppy and civilized as gasoline ones. But the majority of american car buyers don't want anything to do with a diesel in a car. The only diesels acceptable, it seems, are those installed in 3/4 and 1 ton pickup trucks, and even then only because of how much torque they make compared to gasoline ones..

  • @TestECull Good brief,i'm also in favor of diesel cars

  • Comment removed

  • epic fail... not a diesel baha

  • @nathan1methven could be glow plugs

  • fuck your subaru, i've a horse outside!!!!

  • Need to marry you **busizz4me.info**

  • i love my scoobie!

  • Opposed cylinders. Have none of you people ever heard of the Volkswagen Beetle? They only sold millions of them from the 1940's to the late 70's (in USA) and 90's in other countries. (air cooled flat four). You may have heard of the Porsche? (aircooled flat six), or even some of the Italian supercars, with flat 12's. Low center of gravity, better balance with pistons opposing each other, much more room for cooling jackets (air or water), many reasons could be used to describe the advantages

  • @huudathot add compact size that allows this kind of engine to sit in rear, plus allows for the car front to be lower and more air dynamic!

  • @huudathot still has disadvantages compared to other layouts however, for example, unless you give it an almost microscopically short stroke-a boxer engine can be very wide, meaning that the engine compartment has to be wide as well, this doesn't work fro every car

  • @huudathot and AMAZINGLY reliable,routine maintenance can let these enginges see 300,000+,the engine of a beetle will outlive the car itself,the doors will fall off before it smokes unless you drive like a moron.

  • @huudathot One would have to not know cars or be totally ignorant not to know about boxer engines. I have some friends who used to have a VW Bus in the 70s when I was a little boy. I didn't know much about cars at the time. I didn't know at the time that what was driving the bus was a boxer engine. So it's definitely nothing new. What's new is that this is the first diesel-powered boxer engine.

  • @Seattlecarnut

    Er no, The VW camper or bus had a diesel engine option in the 80's early 90's.

  • @Seattlecarnut Er no,  the VW camper had a diesel option in the late 80's early 90's

  • @gunggerdin1 I know that VW offered a diesel Vanagon in the early 80s. But I doubt that it was a boxer diesel.

  • @huudathot I always loved watching team subaru when they participated in wrx, whenever they took a jump, they always landed the smoothest partly because of the engine form (lower center/stability) and other mechanical aspects, the boxer engine has many advantages with the only real disadvantage being the space it took with it's width. thanks for educating people on the boxer engine, kudos ;-)

  • @huudathot Ferrari 512 BB (Berlinetta Boxer) and its follower Testarossa engines? Actually, and by nitpickin' those motors were flat V12s/180 degree V12s, Ferrari just improperly called them boxer engines. These motors has 2 connection rods attached to the same crank journal which is a characteristic feature for the V engine, no matter what the bank angles are. About the low center of gravity - the both cars had gearboxes under the motors, so in a way the low center of gravity was wasted.

  • @OttovonEarth I'm not sure how you can call a 180deg opposed engine a "V" configuration, but even if we accept that definition, a hallmark of a "Boxer" engine is the opposed cylinders in a 180deg arrangement - not the type of crank journal. (the name stems from the motion of the pistons - like a boxer jabbing). While it may be technically correct, I doubt anyone is going to go for "V Boxer" and the more generic description is from the obvious planform of the cylinders (ie: Boxer).

  • @huudathot Let's not forget Alfa Romeo boxer engines.

  • @huudathot well most people who buy cars nowadays only know to look for a 'V', which is sad because i love my subie

  • @huudathot and the sound. especially subaru's one.

  • nothing new ...... and my car has a boxer engine. Oltcit Club made in Romania!

  • @poldyfex Is it a diesel? No? Fail.

  • Trying to be a bit open minded here but whats so significant about the pistons being horizontal other than theyre each others counter weights.

  • @BumbleBeeGS

    BMW motorcycles had opposing-piston engines on their bikes for generations. They run like quartz clocks. The opposing pistons cancel vibrations, making them run smooth with very little in the way of extra engineering.

    Since these opposing pistons are slung very low, the vehicles have an unworldly low center of gravity. This makes them virtually impossible to flip. Subie vehicles are great at rally racing and trail riding for that reason. They're also very durable.

  • @hoosnation So Subaru took the idea, renamed it, and called it their own? Kind of like how Toyotas taking credit for regenerative brakes that have been on trains way before cars?

  • @BumbleBeeGS I don't know who came up with the original idea. I just know that opposing piston engines have been on BMW motorcycles for decades, albeit only 2 cylinders. Honda subsequently used it (decades ago) on the Gold Wing.

    Subaru has been the only AUTO company to have used it, and it's the only style engine they have. Furthermore, no other auto manufacturer uses it.

    If you want to know what these vehicles are capable of, Google Ken Block gymkhana. He takes the capabilities to an extreme.

  • @hoosnation lots of other car manufacturers have used this design, such as Chevrolet, Porsche and VW.

  • @BumbleBeeGS More directly, look in the engine bay of a Subaru GL and then in the engine bay of a Citroen GS

  • is there any point having the cylinders horizontally opposed?
