Straight 4 : ウィキペディア英語版
Inline-four engine

The inline-four engine or straight-four engine is a type of inline internal combustion four-cylinder engine with all four cylinders mounted in a straight line, or plane along the crankcase. The single bank of cylinders may be oriented in either a vertical or an inclined plane with all the pistons driving a common crankshaft. Where it is inclined, it is sometimes called a slant-four. In a specification chart or when an abbreviation is used, an inline-four engine is listed either as I4 or L4 (for ''longitudinal'', to avoid confusion between the digit 1 and the letter I).
The inline-four layout is in perfect primary balance and confers a degree of mechanical simplicity which makes it popular for economy cars.〔Nunney, ''Light and Heavy Vehicle Technology'', p. 12〕 However, despite its simplicity, it suffers from a secondary imbalance which causes minor vibrations in smaller engines. These vibrations become more powerful as engine size and power increase, so the more powerful engines used in larger cars generally are more complex designs with more than four cylinders.
Today almost all manufacturers of four-cylinder engines for automobiles produce the inline-four layout, with Subaru's flat-four engine being a notable exception, and so four-cylinder is synonymous with and a more widely used term than inline-four. The inline-four is the most common engine configuration in modern cars, while the V6 engine is the second most popular.〔Nunney, pp. 13-16〕 In the late 2000s (decade), with auto manufacturers making efforts to reduce emissions and increase fuel efficiency due to the high price of oil and the economic recession, the proportion of new vehicles sold in the U.S. with four-cylinder engines (largely of the inline-four type) rose from 30 percent to 47 percent between 2005 and 2008, particularly in mid-size vehicles where a decreasing number of buyers have chosen the V6 performance option.
==Displacement==
This inline engine configuration is the most common in cars with a displacement up to 2.7 L. In practice, the displacement of inline-four petrol engines in cars rarely exceeds this figure. For example, the largest engine of this form on the U.S. market in model year 2015 is the Toyota 2TR-FE, which is available in the Toyota Tacoma.〔()〕 However, there are some notable exceptions. Porsche used a 3.0 L four in its 944 S2 and 968 sports cars, the Chevrolet Colorado came with a 2.9 L inline four, the International Harvester Scout was available with a 3.2 L inline four from 1965 until 1980 and Rolls-Royce produced several inline-four engines of 2,838 cc with basic cylinder dimensions of diameter and stroke (Rolls-Royce B40). Early vehicles also tended to have engines with larger displacements to develop horsepower and torque. The Model A Ford was built with a 3.3 L inline-four engine.
Inline-four diesel engines, which are lower revving than gasoline engines, often exceed 3.0 L. Mitsubishi still employs a 3.2 L inline-four turbodiesel in its Pajero (called the Shogun or Montero in certain markets), and several manufacturers of light commercial vehicles and large four-wheel drive vehicles, such as Fiat Powertrain Technologies, Isuzu, Nissan, Tata Motors, and Toyota employ a 3.0 L inline-four diesel.
Larger inline-four engines are used in industrial applications, such as in small trucks and tractors, are often found with displacements up to about 5 L. Diesel engines for stationary, marine and locomotive use (which run at low speeds) are made in much larger sizes.
Generally, European and Asian manufacturers of trucks with a gross vehicle weight rating between 7.5 and 18 tonnes use inline four-cylinder diesel engines with displacements around 5 L. The MAN D0834 engine is a 4.6 L inline-4 with and , which is available for the MAN TGL light-duty truck and VARIOmobil motorhomes.〔http://www.man-engines.com/datapool/mediapool/800/D0834_LKW_dt.pdf + http://www.mantruckandbus.com/en/Products_and_solutions/MAN_Lkw/TGL/TGL.jsp + http://www.vario-mobil.com/welcome%20to%20variomobil.html〕 The Isuzu Forward is a medium-duty truck which is available with a 5.2 L inline-four engine that delivers and .〔http://www.isuzucv.com/engines/4h_index.html + http://www.isuzutruck.co.uk/downloads/specsheets/fseries/f110.210%20easyshift.pdf〕 The Hino Ranger is a medium-duty truck which is available with a 5.1 L inline-four engine that delivers and .〔http://www.hino-global.com/products/diesel_engines/index.html + http://www.hino-global.com/pdf/catalog/Hino_500S_Catalog_LR.pdf〕 The earlier Hino Ranger even had a 5.3 L inline-four engine.〔http://www.scribd.com/doc/17851931/HINO-Series-Catalog + http://www.hino.com.au/Upload/specifications/ranger_pro/FC-SEHi-Grade/Ranger%20Pro%205%20DUMP%20Models.pdf〕

Brunswick Marine built a 3.7 L 4-cylinder gasoline engine (designated as the "470") for their Mercruiser Inboard/outboard line. The block was formed from one half of a Ford 460 cubic inch V8 engine. This engine was produced in the 1970s and 1980s.
One of the largest inline-four engines is the MAN B&W 4K90 marine engine. This two-stroke turbo-diesel has a giant displacement of 6,489 L. This results from a massive 0.9 meter bore and 2.5 meter stroke. The 4K90 engine develops at 94 rpm and weighs 787 tons.
The largest on-road inline-4 cylinder turbo-diesel engine is the Detroit Diesel Series 50, with a displacement of 8.5 L. It is widely used in various applications such as buses, trucks, and more. Power ratings varied from 250 hp to 350 hp. It was manufactured from 1994, until 2005. The Series 50 was also marketed as the Series 50G, for its CNG and LNG versions.
Displacement can also be very small, as found in kei cars sold in Japan, such as the Subaru EN series; engines that started out at 550 cc and are currently at 660 cc, with variable valve timing, DOHC and superchargers resulting in engines that often claim the legal maximum of .
