This doesn't sound like a very good solution, as not only would you have to somehow decode and reprogram your car's fuel injection programming, but you'd also have to design and build a set of dual intakes to accomodate these sorts of things.

Either way, I wouldn't bother with trying to shut off fuel to certain cylinders. Unless the engine is designed for it from the git go, it won't work out too well.
