You can make cars with no thrusters at all!
So how does it work?
Basically it's an object you can steer with you movement keys. You can also put parts on such as a radiator, turbo and fuel tank.





Instructions:

How to connect things
Just touch the engine with the part you want to connect and it will automatically connect the device. You can also connect things to the engine by touching the fuel cap ent with the car parts.
Not that the fuel cap must be connected to the engine.

How to turn the engine on and off
First you have to connect a vehicle (example: Airboat seat or pod) to the engine before you can start it. You start the engine by pressing the jump button while you are in the connected vehicle.




Engines

The EP2 engine
You can control the engine by using your movement keys ("a", "s", "d", "w"). Don't try to turn the engine on before it's welded to a vehicle. Use turbo by pressing the sprint button, the turbo will be enabled if you have installed the turbo on the engine.

The Airboat engine
It's the same as the EP2 engine. I just included the airboat engine so people who doesn't have EP2 can use this entity pack.

Boat engine
The difference between the boat engine and the other engines is that it will only work under water when it's submerged otherwise it's the same. The boat engine will also emit bubbles from the propeller and the boat engine also uses different sounds.

Jet engine
This engine was a request!
Don't expect things to fly just by welding the engine to an object!
The engine itself will not make any generated lift!
Basically it works like the other engines to but it has different controls and you can't connect all parts to it. Primary fire will increase the throttle and secondary fire will decrease it. Press the forward and backwards buttons to pitch the engine forward or backwards. You can control the yaw by pressing the strafe left or strafe right button.
Tip: Try to freeze the engine when it spawns so you will keep the right angle. If you don't have the engine in the correct angles the engines controls may be screwed.





Electronics

Battery
A battery is required for all the electronics(car horn, car radio, front light, rear light, dir indicators, fuel gauge, thermometer) to work. Connect the battery by touching the engine with it. Notice that you don't connect the electronics with the battery. You connect the electronic devices just like all other parts (directly to the engine).

Car Radio
This part will only work if you have a battery connected to the engine.
When you are in the connected seat you can cycle between 8 different radio channels by pressing the reload button. To shut off the radio you have to cycle to the first channel (channel 0), you will hear a sound when it's off and the music will stop. You can play your own favourite music on the radio by replacing the mp3 files in this directory "..garrysmod\addons\Easy Engine\sound\Easy_Engine_Sounds\Radio\custom". If you are replacing the radio music with your own music remember that the music file has to be in mp3 format and got to have the same name as the replaced music file.

Car Horn
This part will only work if you have a battery connected to the engine.
Touch the engine with it to connect it. You can use the car horn by pressing the primary fire button while the engine is on and you are in the connected vehicle.


Front Light
This part will only work if you have a battery connected to the engine.
Touch the engine with it to connect it. The front light will automatically be turned on when the engine is on.

Rear Light
This part will only work if you have a battery connected to the engine.
Touch the engine with it to connect it. The rear light will automatically be turned on when the engine is on and you use the breaks or put in the reverse.

Dir indicators
This part will only work if you have a battery connected to the engine.
Touch the engine with it to connect it. The directional indicators/turn signals will automatically start to twinkle when you steer left or right.

Fuel Gauge
This part will only work if you have a battery connected to the engine.
Touch the engine with it to connect it. This entity will show you how much fuel you have left in your tank.

Thermometer
This part will only work if you have a battery connected to the engine.
Touch the engine with it to connect it. This entity will display the engine temperature. The "progress bar" will also change colour and length depending on the engine temperature. Green means OK, yellow means the engine is starting to get hot and red means that the engine temperature is critically high.

The green radio
This music loops some old music. Press use to turn it on and off.
Do not replace the sound files for this radio!

The red radio
This radio won't loop the music but you can replace the music with your own.
You can play your own favourite music on the radio by replacing the mp3 files in this directory "..garrysmod\addons\Easy Engine\sound\Easy_Engine_Sounds\Radio\custom". If you are replacing the radio music with your own music remember that the music file has to be in mp3 format and got to have the same name as the replaced music file.





Parts

Fuel Tank
Without the fuel tank you can just use the engine for a small period of time before it needs to be refueled.
The engine has a fuel capacity of 500 units and the fuel tank will increase it to 5000.

Big Fuel Tank
This is a home made fuel tank. The big fuel tank has a capacity of 20 000 units.

Turbo/Supercharger
This part will automatically be screwed on the engine(no rope connection).
The turbo part will enable turbo when using the engine. Of course the engine will use more gas when you use it. Turbo most affects the acceleration. The turbo will overheat the engine and the engine will turn red and emit white smoke. If the engine gets to hot it will stop or it will break (the engine will turn black if it's broken and it will emit black smoke). If the engine just stops you can start it again.

Exhaust pipe/muffler
When this part is connected the exhausts will come out from the exhaust pipe.

Radiator
If you have turbo installed on the engine a radiator might come in handy.
The radiator will cool down the engine faster and you can use turbo more.







Tools
The tools are used as sweps.
After you have spawned a tool you can pick it up by pressing "use" on it.
You will find the tool in the second weapon category.
You can drop the tools by pressing reload while you have the tool equipped.
Notice that you have to look at an engine for the tool to work.
The tools can't do any damage.


Wrench
If the engine is broken you can repair it with the wrench.
Primary fire: Repair engine.
Secondary fire: Does nothing.
Reload: Drop tool.

Calipers
You can tune the engine up and down by using the calipers tool.
Primary fire: Tune up.
Secondary fire: Tune down.
Reload: Drop tool.

Screwdriver
You can adjust how sensitive with the car steering should be with the screwdriver.
Primary fire: Increase sensitivity.
Secondary fire: Decrease sensitivity.
Reload: Drop tool.






Fuel

Gas Can
Fuel up your engine by touching the engine with the gas can. You will have to touch it multiple times so it will take a while to make it full if you have a gas tank installed. The gas can fill up the fuel tank to 500 units.

Gasoline Barrel
Fuel up your engine by touching the engine with the gasoline barrel. You will have to touch it multiple times. The gasoline barrel can fill up the fuel tank to 5000 units.

Gas Pump
Just grab the hose and touch the engine with it, it will fill the tank instantly. Put back the hose by touching the gas pump with it and it will be put on place automatically.
