How about mating two four cylinders together through a clutching mechanism so that you can shut down the entire engine, with no motion from it. There ya go, problem solved. Or maybe if there were a way to manage the volumetric efficiency of an engine, so that when you dont want air entering the engine, it acts like a 2.5 litre, and when you do, it acts like a 5 litre. I might patent this system of variable volumetric efficiency. I will call it a Turbo.
