Can you change firing order?
The firing order is manipulated by first changing the camshaft, then wiring the spark plugs or recalibrating the ECU accordingly. Here is a comparison of a cam with standard GM firing order and one with the 4-7/2-3 swap or LS firing order.
What’s the firing order in a 90 degree V8 engine?
Firing order choices in a 90-degree V8 engine are driven by crankshaft design. This is the standard configuration for almost all V8 engines with a cross-plane crankshaft. The #1 and #4 pins are 180 degrees apart, and the #2 and #3 pins are 180 degrees apart.
What are the firing orders of a 4 stroke engine?
From figure 4 cylinder #1 fires in the first 120 degrees. In the next 120 degrees (240 degrees), as cylinder #1 moves from the power stroke to the exhaust stroke, cylinder #4 fires. In the next 120 degrees (360 degrees), as cylinder #4 moves from the power stroke to the exhaust stroke, cylinder #3 fires.
What’s the best firing order for a diesel engine?
Even competition diesel engines are experimenting with firing orders. The stock Duramax firing order is 1-2-7-8-4-5-6-3, but Jeremy Wagler switched to 1-5-6-3-4-2-7-8 when he built this 500ci supercharged, twin-turbo V8 that is cooled with nitrous oxide and water-methanol.
When do you use the asterisk firing order?
The firing order with the asterisk is the one used most often when attempting a bank-to-bank configuration. Four of these possible combinations are generally thought to be ineffective in performance applications, as they fire four cylinders in various sequence orders on one bank before the four cylinders on the opposing bank are fired.
