Hi Albert,
For a four-stroke, six
cylinder engine, it takes two engine revolutions to fire
all six coils.
So, that coil pulse count you're looking
for is three (only three cylinders will fire in one engine
revolution).
Good question. I have a Nissan
inline-six cylinder turbo, and I removed the stock EFI and replaced it with an
aftermarket one. I went completely distributorless, and I'm running six
Denso coils (taken from a 2003 GMC Suburban, an LS1 engine) so I can run "coil
on plug". They have integral ignitors and I don't have to run "wasted
spark". I also run six Mazda RX7 injectors that can now fire
sequentially (versus batch-fire in the old Bosch L-Jetronic EFI). I'm a
sick gearhead. ;o)
Best regards, -Hugh

number given when I received my racing permit. I run the 1/4 mile
drag at Portland International Raceway. Stock, the engine is 180
horsepower and runs ~16.5 seconds in the 1/4 mile (0-400 meter). Last
season, I was able to get it down to 14.1 seconds.

My previous answer is wrong. 1/2 rotation per
stroke.

This is great I got all you deep thinkers digging
even deeper into the grey matter!
Anyway, my read is on a single cylinder 4 stroke
engine, there would be 2 revolutions of the crank for each time
the coil field collapses.
So on a 6 cylinder engine there should be 3 power
strokes per rev and consequently 3 coil fires per rev. (gotta have proper
ballance ya know)
So my tach dip switches should be set for 3
pulses per rev to get my proper RPM reading.

is probably not a well known fact but your old single cylinder 4 cycle push
mower does indeed fire on both the compression and the exhaust stroke.
Obviously the latter is a wasted spark, but since the breaker points are
driven off the top end of the crank shaft it fires on each revolution. So the
correct answer is once per revolution. Have a great weekend,
Paul

Hi Ray,
I was under the impression that the unique
sound of a V-Twin engine resulted from the fact that the two connecting rods
share the same crank pin at a 45 degree angle (I could be wrong
though).
For all you Gearheads, here is another "Friday
Question":
Why do the European "exotic" V-8's
have a different exhaust note than the American V-8's? Hint: it has to
do with the crankshaft design.
