Skip fire on car engines?
I manage marine/powerplant engine software for a living, and there we've started to experiment with skip fire functionalty. This is on 6-20 cylinder engines, running diesel, HFO, LFO gas, etc. This reduces NOx and fel usage under idle.
Does anyone here know if Skip-Fire could be used on our 4-cylinder engines? Would it make the crankshaft unbalanced? If you just skip one cylinder, and change it around between strokes, could it work?
Nismotronic guys, what do you think?
