I read somewhere that you can get better gas miliage by converting to a V4 very cheaply. Not that I would do this but how is it done.

 

Buy a Civic

 

hybid ftw!!!

 

who makes a v4?? or do you mean like cadillac where they drop 2 or 4 cylinders at cruise?? ive never seen or heard of this being done as a conversion. i cant see where dropping cylinders by fuel cutoff would gain all that much as your still dragging them round and round, seems to have been more of a novelty so far than a tried and true system kurt

 

yeah,. they dont make v4s as for the cutoff, works pretty damn well on the z06 vette

 

well, technically they do, but it's not an automotive engine. i just rebuilt one for a large riding lawnmower

 

Gas saving tip #1 Break your right leg.

 

Here you go gang. Chuck out that fatGM engine and put in this American made V4 wonder. LOL
