Real Engines and Part Names (EN)

This is Version 2 of the mod, initially named Better English Part Names - Extended

This is an English localization file with many changes.

• []Reviewed ALL engines and parts in the game.

  []Vanilla made-up engines renamed to real-life equivalents (all of them are based on real-life engines).

  []Part names (EN-US) corrected and made more descriptive, in some case substantially so.

  []Added real life names to all unique parts I could identify.

  []A/B/C changed to reflect part location (left/right, upper/lower etc) or function.

• []All part names which refer to specific car names in the localization file (these are mainly interior parts) changed to match the Authentic Car Names V3 mod by SterlingC32.

  []Also included is a revision of all mission descriptions by SterlingC32 with fixed grammar and generally better language as the original translation is pretty bad.

  []various minor and major translation errors changed here and there (only if I noticed them, I haven't done a full review of all texts)

  []As of version 2. 0 the "basic" version is no longer included or supported, the changes are too extensive to maintain two versions. If the current version is too much for you stick with the previous one, or keep both, you can switch between them any time from the Language menu.

  []The new filename is RealEnginesAndPartsEN.txt, meaning you can keep your default English file (or the one from the older version) so you can switch to it from the Language menu in case you need for some reason.

  I dare say you can learn a lot from the added information in this mod. I have done EXTENSIVE research, I've been to OEM part sites, Ebay part and engine auctions, I've read articles and blogs. If I was charging $ for this work I'd charge at least $1000 for the time spent, although it was worth it to me, I learned a lot and I hope you do too.

  INSTALLATION

  The file goes into

  C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Car Mechanic Simulator 2021\Car Mechanic Simulator 2021_Data\StreamingAssets\Localizations

  Obviously if your Steam installation folder is different you should account for that.

  Then in the game go to Settings - Language and select RealEnginesAndPartsEN

  DETAILS

  See Change Notes for a full list of the changes (interior parts are not listed since every car-specific interior part name is changed).

  ENGINE NAMES

  Every vanilla engine with a made-up name is based on a real-life engine. Sometimes the power ratings match the real engine, sometimes not. I did a lot of research to try to find the real engines and found almost all. Note that the game wiki does give some of them but in some cases I disagree and have found what I believe is the correct engine.

  • []I3 DOHC - I3 1. 0L DOHC DI Fox // Ford Fox engine

    []I3 DOHC Turbocharged - I3 1. 0L DOHC DI Fox EcoBoost // that's how Ford calls their turbo engines

    • []I4 DOHC BFM - I4 2. 0L DOHC TFSI Turbo // Audi TFSI engine

      []I4 DOHC 4x4 - I4 2. 0L DOHC TFSI Turbo AWD // I prefer AWD for cars and 4x4 for trucks with transfer cases

      • []I4 DOHC TAE - I4 1. 6L DOHC 4A-GE // Toyota AE86's legendary 1. 6 4A-GE

        []I4 DOHC AQC - I4 1. 8L DOHC GDI // Mitsubishi Sirius GDI engine, not sure of the exact model, decided on 1. 8L based on the engine performance

        []I4 DOHC Turbocharged - I4 1. 8L DOHC GDI Turbo // it's the same as AQC just turbo

        • []I4 SOHC ABT - I4 1. 8L SOHC FWD // I could not in fact find the real-life equivalent of this engine, assigned it 1. 8L displacement based on its performance; I suspect it is a VW/Audi motor like the others but could not find it

          []I4 SOHC BMJ - I4 1. 8L SOHC RWD

          []I4 SOHC 4x4 - I4 1. 8L SOHC AWD

          • []I4 SOHC Diesel - I4 1. 9L SOHC TDI TurboDiesel // VW TDI engine; sadly in the game it only comes in RWD in the Valsen / Volvo; so you can't make a proper Golf TDI
            • []I5 DOHC ADI - I5 2. 2L DOHC 20V AAN Turbo // Audi AAN 2. 2L; engine NOT used in any car
              • []I6 OHV - I6 OHV 300 // this is a Ford 300 Inline-6 engine

                []I6 DOHC -
