V8 Firing Order Explained

[@ZachariahRound]

just what an amazing video absolutely bang on mate

[@BadInfluenceGarage]

Thanks man, appreciate it. We have some new ones coming out soon that you'll like as well 😎💪

[@AlexJewett-e2v]

I loved your presentation, I have been trying to understand the exhaust pulse cycle and reconcile the discussion on equal length or not exhaust headers . I feel you have helped me on the journey to understanding. I’m hoping you have a video on exhaust pulsing and headers. Keep cranking out the videos, you have a lot to offer now, just wait till you’re 60.

[@OliviANDixie]

Love the * Boom! * and * POW! * 😂❤ Enjoyed the video and appreciated your clarity in explaining. Thanks for creating this vid!

[@ehb403]

Liked and subscribed. A quick note: you can develop all of the potential firing orders by using your “paired cylinders” list and moving twice left to right, simply changing which of the 2 available you choose each time - some of these are bad (a lot of rocking moment) and some are good. I had heard Ford used the “same order” but numbered differently; thanks for showing that detail. My project involves changing the numbers used on the Ford Mod V8 so that the ECU can be swapped to a Chevy or Dodge without a lot of reprogramming (essentially, I’ll be ignoring Ford’s numbering since it is MUCH easier to think left-right “balance” by referring to even vs. odd numbered banks). Now to compare your video to the Mod V8 firing order….(LS order)

[@Truther00]

I just subscribed because you described it the best 👍🏼

Such chill music I feel like I'm playing Mario cart

[@paulalabab8896]

Thanks for this firing order video. Now I know what a swap is for! Good job in explaining bro!

I dont mean to be off topic but does someone know a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost the account password. I love any assistance you can offer me.

[@troydwayne9784]

@Jace Dash thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and im trying it out now. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@troydwayne9784]

@Jace Dash It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thank you so much you saved my ass!

[@jacedash8956]

@Troy Dwayne Glad I could help :)

[@dgiorgi1725]

Wow, THANK YOU. What a wonderful job of explaining this Paired Cylinder and Swap. I thought I knew something about all of this til I watched your video, how helpful. Thx.

[@depressingskyline1215]

Bro you are awesome

[@BadInfluenceGarage]

Thank you, much appreciated. If there's other information you'd like to see in a video, feel free to comment and let us know.

[@carwashadamcooper1538]

Thanks! This information is gold, and you are one hack of a teacher.

[@BadInfluenceGarage]

Thanks?! I'm assuming you meant hEck of a teacher? Lol

THANK YOU!!! YOU,RE A DAMN GOOD TEACHER. VERY RARE, AND ALSO, GREAT PRESENTATION! JR OWEN

Thank you Jerry, I appreciate that 😊🙏

[@GT1GO]

Good video

[@sarmatiancougar7556]

I have been trying to figure out the firing order of all major V8 engine series with their cylinder numbering in mind and it looks like there's really only a few effectively different firing orders. Something like maybe 4 different crossplane firing sequences, but not more than that.

[@ajingolk7716]

What about dual combustion🤔

[@roshanthammaiah]

Wt if me made 2 cylinder to fire at same time will we get more boost ??

[@BadInfluenceGarage]

Boost is just a measurement of pressure inside the manifold, If you try to fire 2 cylinders at once the timing would be off for 1 of the cylinders. if you had say a custom V16 you could double up and fire 2 cylinders at once but i would not recommend trying that on a traditional V8

[@boatlover8856]

This is a great video and easy to follow along, but I'll still paying for someone to do the work! LOL

[@mickeycook569]

What all should I do to my 2017 Ford F-150 GEN-2 V8 4x4 to get my engine to fire like the Mustang? I want to add a Comp CAM to my truck. Please help me!

That was a good video thank you for sharing

[@shazeebmw]

What have you done to your eyebrows?

[@dannyc7839]

I just bought a 88 chevy k2500 with a 5.7 and the firing order on the cap is backwards from what it should be but runs fine. Noticed this when going to put new plug wires on. Did they put the distributer in wrong previously or something? Tried moving wires to correct locations and engine wouldn't fire

[@twistedwired]

I am trying to understand why a Ford V8 always sounds more raspy. I always thought it was the firing order.

[@ufomamulenda5796]

Hope me I'm in need to start a v8 351

[@bestavatar8986]

This is great but just for the sake of it I'm going to mention an important factor in that, if the firing order is so, than the "pairing" piston is infact at the top of the exhaust stroke, which must be understood as well for installing the heads. TDC is only the piston at the compression stroke.....TDC.

[@shazeebmw]

its V8 ?

[@ceasarvinas3129]

Does the pair cilinder can fire at same time?

[@BadInfluenceGarage]

No they cannot. With a 4 stroke or "4 cycle" engine (intake, compression, power, exhaust) it takes 2 full crank rotations to make the 4 cycles. The paired cylinders are on opposite strokes (coming up to TDC would be Exhaust & Compression)

[@asratchaka9200]

i like it

Going with a 4, 7 swap myself

[@BadInfluenceGarage]

Should work well with that turbo pontiac setup

[@isingmunoz848]

How about hino truck

[@BadInfluenceGarage]

What about them?

[@OtakuDude93]

Damn, I didn’t learn this in university 🤔 So that change the sound, that’s why old V8 sounds more rude.

[@bahaalrayes]

Funny how no matter the combination, only “1” never gets swapped by any number - existential irony.

[@stelios672]

the same think with ford is doing and mercedes for same reason

[@henrysmith8012]

The 4 and 7 swap will gain you about 2 to 3 hp. Not enough.

[@budthecyborg4575]

Has no-one ever made a crankshaft to fully imitate a pair of i4's and keep four cylinders at TDC every stroke?

[@budthecyborg4575]

If you fire cylinders at even spacing (1-4-5-8, 2-3-6-7) the crankshaft would be loaded almost perfectly evenly with every ignition.

[@BadInfluenceGarage]

@@budthecyborg4575 yes, it's called a flat plane crank, it's used in the Ford 5.2L GT350 engines.
