Wasn't that the goal for them though.... to make it a bit more like a twins firing pattern.
IE, a longer 'pause' in the firing to supposedly allow the rear tyre to maintain or get back some traction before the next firing.

Someone will know the proper firing order/timing, so I'm just guessing (*dons flame suit*....a PP member guessing, surely not)

But instead of
bang, bang, bang, bang at 90,180,270,360
it's
bang bang. pause. bang bang

Like Roger said, it's uneven. (unusual for an I4)

Thus it's the "Twin" part as there's a bang a pause and a bang (or 2).

That's my uneducated understanding

One thing I know for sure is that from the couple of vids i've seen online....it sounds HOT!
I like!

Cheers,
Ant
