I was reading in the archives and found this
THREAD
I have a 6 cylinder engine that is carbureted (
Garage Link), this would mean 2 sets of 2 cylinders have their power stroke at the same time. I would think since that was the case I could find those two and somehow rig a device to cut off the intake valve to those two cylinders once I was cruising.
In that thread some of the problems were there computer in the car going haywire over too cold an exhaust, shooting gas into a cylinder cause it doesn't have enough, and other things. The pistons and valves would all still be moving, which is creating friction. Would there be problems with reliability shutting off the air/fuel to a cylinder/pair of cylinders?
The other problem you were talking about was balance, I wouldn't be taking anything out of the engine so no problems there. Since I am going from 6 Cylinder to 4 there shouldn't be any problem with the engine being rough, if anything it should run smoother on 4 instead of 6.
Any thoughts on this would be great!
