  2. VR5 engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VR5_engine

    In a transverse layout the three-cylinder row is located towards the front, and in a longitudinal layout towards the right. Due to the narrow bank-angle of the two cylinder rows, the arrangement works as a zig-zag staggered, W-patterned inline five-cylinder. The engines have a firing order of 1-2-4-5-3.

  3. VR6 engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VR6_engine

    The V angle between the cylinder banks is 15°, and the compression ratio is 10:1. [3] The crankshaft runs in seven main bearings and the journals are offset 22° to one another, in order to accommodate the offset cylinder placement. [4] This also allows the use of a 120° firing interval between cylinders. [5] The firing order is: 1, 5, 3, 6 ...

  4. Firing order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firing_order

    For this inline-4 engine, 1-3-4-2 could be a valid firing order. The firing order of an internal combustion engine is the sequence of ignition for the cylinders. In a spark ignition (e.g. gasoline/petrol) engine, the firing order corresponds to the order in which the spark plugs are operated. In a diesel engine, the firing order corresponds to ...

  5. Straight-five engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight-five_engine

    Most four-stroke straight-five engines use a firing order of 1-2-4-5-3. [citation needed] This firing order results in the minimal primary (crank speed) rocking couple, and is used by the Volvo Modular engine, VW/Audi straight-five engine, General Motors Atlas engine and Honda G engine. Straight-five engines typically have a 72 degree ...

    The EA211 engines are a completely new four-cylinder turbocharged and direct-injection TSI engines. Compared to its predecessor, the EA211 series is significantly more compact, with installation length 50 mm (2.0 in) shorter, thus offering more interior space. The installation position of the engines has also been optimised.

  7. List of North American Volkswagen engines - Wikipedia

    An all new cylinder head was needed for the Audi-developed Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI), which features cylinder-direct fuel injection straight into the combustion chambers. The result of needing to site both spark plug and fuel injector meant that the former five-valve layout had to be changed to a four-valve-per-cylinder arrangement.

    1919 Napier Lion II aircraft engine with three cylinder banks. Any design of motor/engine,be it a V or a boxer can be called an "in-line" if it's mounted in-line with the frame/chassis and in-line with the direction of travel of the vehicle.When the motor/engine is across the frame/chassis this is called a TRANSVERSE motor.Cylinder arrangement is not in the description of how the motor/engine ...

  9. Volkswagen-Audi V8 engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen-Audi_V8_engine

    Of their eight-cylinder petrol engines, all Volkswagen Group V8 engines are primarily constructed from a lightweight cast aluminium alloy cylinder block (crankcase) and cylinder heads. They all use multi-valve technology, with the valves being operated by two overhead camshafts per cylinder bank (sometimes referred to as 'quad cam').
