Real world counterparts of the KSP engines

[flart]

I believe mostly every KSP engine has some counterpart from real world — model or name or stats or all of them.

Where I can find a table:  KSP Engines  —  Real Engines ?

 

UPD. From comments below, the table:

Spoiler

S1 SRB-KD25k "Kickback" Solid Fuel Booster -!- SLS STS derived 5-segment SRB
BACC "Thumper" Solid Fuel Booster           - Generic (possible Titan III - UA120)
RT-10 "Hammer" Solid Fuel Booster           - Generic
RT-5 "Flea" Solid Fuel Booster              - Generic

J-20 "Juno" Basic Jet Engine                    -!- Junkers Jumo 004 (world's first production turbojet engine in operational use)
J-33 "Wheesley" Turbofan Engine                  -  Generic low-bypass turbofan (maybe Pratt & Whitney JT3D aka TF33)
J-404 "Panther" Afterburning Turbofan            -  Generic afterburning turbojet, for fighter planes
J-90 "Goliath" Turbofan Engine                   -  Generic high-bypass furbofan (maybe Rolls-Royce Trent 800, the GE90)
J-X4 "Whiplash" Turbo Ramjet Engine             -!- P&W J58
CR-7 R.A.P.I.E.R. Engine                        -!- SABRE
T-1 Toroidal Aerospike "Dart" Liquid Fuel Engine - Any of a number of experimental toroidal aerospikes


IX-6315 "Dawn" Electric Propulsion System  -  Dawn spacecraft NSTAR derived xenon ion engine
LV-N "Nerv" Atomic Rocket Motor           -!- NERVA
O-10 "Puff" MonoPropellant Fuel Engine     - Like STS OMS, probably generic though
Vernor Engine                              - Generic (not strictly a vernier engine)

24-77 "Twitch" Liquid Fuel Engine          - Hard to say, closest to an actual vernier engine
48-7S "Spark" Liquid Fuel Engine           - Again, hard to say. Engines this small are much more numerous. But the most famous is the Apollo descent engine.
LV-1 "Ant" Liquid Fuel Engine              - Again, closest to an actual vernier engine
LV-1R "Spider" Liquid Fuel Engine          - Possibly the Apollo ascent engine
LV-909 "Terrier" Liquid Fuel Engine        - The weird design of this one makes it look like almost no real engine, but behave like any number of upper stage engines
LV-T30 "Reliant" Liquid Fuel Engine        - Redstone A6 or A7 engines, alternatively Rocketdyne XLR-89-5
LV-T45 "Swivel" Liquid Fuel Engine         -  Gameplay based variant of above
RE-M3 "Mainsail" Liquid Fuel Engine        - Vulcain, F1, RS-68
Mk-55 "Thud" Liquid Fuel Engine            - STS OMS
RE-L10 "Poodle" Liquid Fuel Engine         - Apollo SPS
RE-I5 "Skipper" Liquid Fuel Engine         - RL-10, Mvac
S3 KS-25 "Vector" Liquid Fuel Engine        -!- SSME/RS-25
LFB KR-1x2 "Twin-Boar" Liquid Fuel Engine    - IIRC, some NASA design for SLS LFBs since it came with .23.5
Kerbodyne KR-2L+ "Rhino" Liquid Fuel Engine -!- J-2x
S3 KS-25x4 "Mammoth" Liquid Fuel Engine     -!- 4x cluster of SSME/RS-25


// Expansion

Kerbodyne KE-1 'Mastodon' Liquid Fuel Engine -!- F-1
LV-TX87 'Bobcat' Liquid Fuel Engine          -!- LR-87
LV-T91 'Cheetah' Liquid Fuel Engine          -!- LR-91
RE-I2 'Skiff' Liquid Fuel Engine             -!- J-2
RE-J10 'Wolfhound' Liquid Fuel Engine AJ10   -!- AJ-10, in the apollo SPS variant
RK-7 'Kodiak' Liquid Fueled Engine           -!- RD-107/108
RV-1 'Cub' Vernier Engine                    -!- LR-101

I don't know about official counterparts, but this is my unofficial list:

These ones are hard to guess at, since they mostly come from a time when KSP was more cartoonish and based its engines on

BACC "Thumper" Solid Fuel Booster - Generic
RT-10 "Hammer" Solid Fuel Booster - Generic
RT-5 "Flea" Solid Fuel Booster - Generic
J-20 "Juno" Basic Jet Engine - Private plane turbojet engine Junkers Jumo 004 turbojet
J-33 "Wheesley" Turbofan Engine - Generic low-bypass turbofan Possibly P&W JT3D low-bypass turbofan
J-404 "Panther" Afterburning Turbofan - Generic afterburning turbojet, for fighter planes
J-90 "Goliath" Turbofan Engine - Generic high-bypass turbofan Rolls-Royce Trent 800 and GE 90 high-bypass turbofan
T-1 Toroidal Aerospike "Dart" Liquid Fuel Engine - Any of a number of experimental toroidal aerospikes
IX-6315 "Dawn" Electric Propulsion System - Dawn spacecraft NSTAR derived xenon ion engine
O-10 "Puff" MonoPropellant Fuel Engine - Like STS OMS, probably generic though
Vernor Engine - Generic (not strictly a vernier engine)
24-77 "Twitch" Liquid Fuel Engine - Hard to say, closest to an actual vernier engine
48-7S "Spark" Liquid Fuel Engine - Again, hard to say. Engines this small are much more numerous. But the most famous is the Apollo descent engine.
LV-1 "Ant" Liquid Fuel Engine - Again, closest to an actual vernier engine
LV-1R "Spider" Liquid Fuel Engine - Possibly the Apollo ascent engine

RE-L10 "Poodle" Liquid Fuel Engine - Apollo SPS
RE-I5 "Skipper" Liquid Fuel Engine - RL-10, Mvac
LFB KR-1x2 "Twin-Boar" Liquid Fuel Engine - IIRC, some NASA design for SLS LFBs since it came with .23.5. Possibly Pyrios

These ones are easy, since they have definite counterparts:

S1 SRB-KD25k "Kickback" Solid Fuel Booster - SLS STS derived 5-segment SRB
J-X4 "Whiplash" Turbo Ramjet Engine - P&W J58
LV-N "Nerv" Atomic Rocket Motor - NERVA
S3 KS-25 "Vector" Liquid Fuel Engine - SSME/RS-25
Kerbodyne KR-2L+ "Rhino" Liquid Fuel Engine - J-2x
S3 KS-25x4 "Mammoth" Liquid Fuel Engine - 4x cluster of SSME/RS-25
CR-7 R.A.P.I.E.R. Engine - SABRE
Kerbodyne KE-1 'Mastodon' Liquid Fuel Engine - F-1
LV-TX87 'Bobcat' Liquid Fuel Engine - LR-87
LV-T91 'Cheetah' Liquid Fuel Engine - LR-91
RE-I2 'Skiff' Liquid Fuel Engine - J-2
RE-J10 'Wolfhound' Liquid Fuel Engine AJ10 - AJ-10, in the apollo SPS variant
RK-7 'Kodiak' Liquid Fueled Engine - RD-107/108
RV-1 'Cub' Vernier Engine - LR-101

Based from Rolls-Royce Trent 800 and the GE90 high bypass turbofan engines.

J-33 "Wheesley"

The designation “J-33 Wheesley” may be a reference to the real-life JT3D turbofan jet engine, also known as the TF33, made by U.S. aerospace company Pratt & Whitney. It's shape slightly resembles the engine

Why do these two and not any other high-bypass turbofans: Engine Alliance GP7000, Aviadvigatel PS-90, etc?

https://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/J-90_"Goliath"_Turbofan_Engine

While the engine looks similar to other high bypass turbofans, the engine was specifically designed based from those 2

Thanks for the extra info. I'm not very well versed in jet engines compared to rocket engines.
