I saw parts.xml and found the value. Since nothing seems relevant to Isp or Exhaust Velocity, I guess it's the key to set Isp.

Really??? How come???
How???

    @WNP78 I mean it shouldn't be so. Moreover fuel consumption should be mass, not volume.

    @AnotherFireFox
    fuelConsumption is the amount of fuel it consumes in some kind of unit per second (not sure what the unit is but it's the same one used to set fuel on fuel tanks, possible litres but I'm not too sure)
    fuelConsumptionScale is the slider you get in the designer which affects not only the fuel consumption but the thrust.
    thrust is literally the thrust given out by the engine at full throttle.
    ISP is calculated based on the first and last value.

    @WNP78 I mean it should be in physical values like isp or exhaust velocity.

    electricalConsumption type=float
    fuelConsumption type=float

    gimbalRange type=float
    maxGimbalAngle type=float
    maxTorque type=float
    seaLevelEfficiency type=float
    supportsWarpBurn type=bool
