Thanks so much!!!
That interesting from an electronic side of things but mechanically nothing is happening to valves for pumping loss issue .

If we look at say Honda's VCM V6 (which has 4 and 3 cylinder modes) thy disable the intake and exhaust valves . they also are balanced in respect to cylinders that are firing and order .

The only real issue with this system is it is not dynamic rotation of cylinders that can be disabled , this has led to some fouled plugs over time .

Do you have a vid of this system running (disabling/enabling ) cylinders ?
