Re: Lumina 96' V6 to V4 conversion

You could, but you'd have to have a provision to relieve compression on the non-running cylinders too so they wouldn't create a drag on the running cylinders and make the motor shake...that requires tricky mechanical valve manipulation...but the most glaring issue is that the ECM would never accept the inputs of what it would read as two misfiring cylinders, throwing the engine management system into chaos...

Got any links to such a system? I could see where it could possibly be done with an older vehicle, but not with an OBDII managed vehicle....
