sort of like GM's Displacement on Demand for their V8s...

 

So when the cylinders need to "cut back on", what kind of lag in pickup is experienced?

 

i'd assume there'll be no perceptible lag, what with the pistons still in motion (just not firing), all they need to do is start firing again within milliseconds of sensing heavy throttle input.

i'd assume all new Accords now have electronic throttle?

 

Northstar system

 

thats the old northstar system they had shit laods of problmes lol.....


also as the lag their wont be any

but also for v8 issue they never could get ther motors to produce 700hp in craftsmen truck sieres... plus look at the indycar /forumla one / cart they coulndt produce reliable v8 that would last...


270hp v6 is not impressive man.....

 

Your run of the mill Honda ECU runs at almost 6MHz, so one cycle on that is 166ns, so a few instruction cycles should be all it needs to kick on the extra cylinders, so yeah, maybe a microsecond to deliver ignition. Of course, the injector opens a lot slower than that, so the next firing cycle should see the engine running on all cylinders if the TPS, etc. can track and settle that fast..

I know no one cares, but I'm rambling anyway..
