idea, 4 cylinder to 2 cylinder engine conversion

[Frank Lee]

This will be the 93rd time I've explained it, but both "A" and "B" suffer PUMPING LOSSES, losses which are too great to overcome with ANY improvement in the things you seek. Read up on our own EM cylinder deactivation threads. There is a REASON NONE of the OEM cylinder deactivation schemes simply kill injectors or hold valves open and the reason is this: It does not work. It does not work. It does not work. It does not work. It does not work. It does not work.

"kill injectors or hold valves open"....Must do both.
I'll go back and read the past threads on it.

Thank you.

I found this... some guy wrote,
"Thanks for the figures metro; some rough extrapolating says maybe +15% could be expected on average... that's about what DoD for larger engines gets too... so for the Tempo I'd be looking at +5 or 6 mpg. Nice, but perhaps I won't be pulling those two pistons after all. :/"
I'll take 15% for a start...I go read more now

A 0 cylinder conversion (i.e. turn it off) would be better.

[CFECO]

It is off...

[Arragonis]

Is it moving ?

[CFECO]

Through space...quickly too!
