Air/gas engine hybrid idea
I'm planning on taking the back three cylinders in my inline six and running them off of compressed air, the idea is that it would increase low end torque will also allowing me to remove the starter cause one of thoughs cylinders will always be in the power stroke so to start all you have to do is open the compressed air valve. I'm in construction so I have a compressor to maintain compression the only things that come to mind that I'm going to have to do is buy a special camshaft(about $180) cut the back three ports off the intake manifold and manufacture a manifold for the back cylinders, and then get the fittings to adapt the compressor to my jeep and control throttle. Any thoughts on this??
