Type C torque output
[edit]Can I ask, what unit is the Type C torque output in? And do you have any reliable sources for it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.186.67.197 (talk) 18:23, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
Type S torque output
[edit]type S torque: 98 Nm. That is never possible. A simple calculation gives 24,6 kW at 2400Rpm with 98 Nm. Above the 20 kW rated. Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.195.55.202 (talk) 19 January 2015
- Not sure which of the power/torque figures is the wrong one. I will search for some references over the next week and get the correct figures. Stepho talk 07:58, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
Renaming this page?
[edit]Should this page still be called Toyota Type A engine if it contains content about engines that are unrelated to the Type A? I understand the Type B and C engines are related but the Type S and E are unrelated. In my opinion it’s fine to have all these engines on the same page as they are close to 100 years old, low production, and thus have limited information not fit for their own articles. What would this article be called ‘Pre War Toyota engines’? ‘Early Toyota Engines’? I’m sure there were other prototypes that could also be included on this page too just as the Type D engine is.

- Maybe call it Early Toyota Engines – or split it into Toyota Type A engine (retaining info on types A, B, C, D) and Early Toyota Engines (for the S and E). Mr.choppers | ✎ 05:18, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
- I'm okay with renaming it. As long as the first word is Toyota. Perhaps Toyota early engines? FYI, WP:TITLEFORMAT says use sentence case.
- By the way, this is why I push for using redirects. We can edit Toyota Type C engine to point to the new name and all articles using that link will automatically point to the new engine article. This doesn't always happen when using the # form of links and the # form has real trouble when articles are split.
- I would advise against splitting the article. Deletionists love to delete small articles as not being noteworthy or as being stubs. Stepho talk 05:44, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
- Good points all; I vote with Stepho. Mr.choppers | ✎ 13:12, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
