Features
1) Seamlessly transforms into different type of engines

Select from inline to V-type, or other multi-cylinder engines,
and watch the running engines transform over continuous CG animation.

Enjoy watching the inline engine camshaft separate into two parts as it transforms into the V-type engine and
how phase angle modulation between cylinders makes the crankshaft rotate, separate, and combine into many engine formations.


2) Add Engine Sound (In-App Purchase)

Developed in technical collaboration with "CAI MEDIA CO.,LTD.", the developer of the iPhone app featuring innovative synthetic engine sound, "RealEngineSim" this new feature will add a variety of realistic engine sounds ranging from different number of cylinders to explosions with unequal intervals and cylinder rest.
Engine Sound Add-On is available via In-App Purchase.


3) Accelerator Control

Accelerator control is available during engine sound replay. Tilt iPhone to different degrees as if pressing the accelerator pedal. Tilt forward horizontally (as if pressing the accelerator) to activate the accelerator, and erect vertically (as if releasing the accelerator) to deactivate it.
Furthermore, you can race the engine by tapping the center of rev counter.


4) Addition/expansion of engines

There are currently 22 types of engines registered. Through automatic network updates, continuous expansion is planned.

In addition, there are functions installed that allow users to newly register and edit engines.

Able to adjust setting for engine bore stroke, firing order, and ignition timing.
Easily replicate on the iPad, engines with unequal combustion intervals for two-wheelers, Inline-four crossplane or V5.


5) Interactive Movie

·Four-stroke engines
·Firing Order
·V Angle
Recorded 3 controllable presentation videos.


The company and product names used within the application are generally registered trademarks or trademarks of the respective companies.
The objective of this application is to upload engine specifications disclosed to the public and to learn about general information regarding engines.
It does not accurately replicate actual machine measurements and designs.
The CG animated engine rotates at one tenth of the actual speed to enable users to learn the structure and to enjoy the visual.

Pros and cons of Trans4motor - Engine Simulator app for iPhone and iPad

Trans4motor - Engine Simulator app good for

Génial pour simuler les architectures moteurs 4 temps, en particulier pour le paramétrage de la disposition des cylindres et des intervalles d'allumage, qui permet d'avoir le son associé et le calage correspondant du vilebrequin. Pour le bicylindre CB 450 HONDA des années 60 dont le vilebrequin a en réalité 2 manivelles opposées à 180°, les intervalles d'allumage sont de 180°-540°, et non 360°-360° comme représenté qui correspond à d'autres moteurs HONDA (CB 72 de 1961, CB 400 de 1978).
Can you guys put more honda motors in to it like B series motor
This is such an amazing app. This thoroughly shows engines and their works; however, if you would add diesels (such as Cummins, Duramax, Powerstroke, and others, thatd be great) also 2 stroke engines and the Detroit 2 stroke diesel. And if you could add Honda engines and emphasize V-TEC.

Some bad moments

Great visuals and menu options including the ability to add/remove engine components. A major disappointment however is the accelerator control. You have to lay the mobile device flat to the point you cant look at the screen when accelerating. The inability to go through the gears with a speedometer is frustrating too. Tilt feature and engine sounds are both poorly made. Ironically you have to pay extra for something that should already be part of the SIMULATOR app. The Porsche 911 audio doesnt even sound like a boxer for example. Why are people having to pay for bad synthetic sounds when audio of the real cars could be used? Otherwise, this app could have been perfect...
I absolutely love this app! The sounds are nice, the visuals astounding, etc! And now, you have DUCATI BIKES! Insane! Keep up the good work!

Please add Diesel engines such as 5.9 liter cummins and the 6.6 liter Duramax. Also add more components like turbochargers and superchargers. And maybe make the engine building feature more useful by having the option to change the valve train from 2 valves per cylinder to 4 valves. And more option like that. Thanks for the app. Please continue to add new engines.
Very useful app for understanding cylinder layouts, timing cycles, and valve designs of various production automotive and motorcycle gasoline engines. It doesnt cover every engine in existence, but that isnt the point. It offers several pre-built variations of standard designs, but also unique features such as the Wankel engine, flatplane crank, and desmodromic valves. You can also adjust parameters to create other designs which is a great feature.
I like this app, its very entertaining to mess around with. Can you please add W engines, diesels and 2 strokes too maybe? Also maybe add a setting that lets you view the animated engine at full speed instead of 1/10
I love the app, but it is missing one type of engine and that is the 16 cylinder 4 turbocharger engine that the worlds fastest super car called the Bugatti veyron uses.
