Could this work on a Type VI and improve mpg ? Looks promising.
Königsegg says this technology will be applied on every engine in 10 years... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bch5B23_pu0 |

From a pure MPG improvement standpoint I doubt you would ever recoup the cost of the modification.
I'd like to know a ball park cost on 8 units, custom machining and software/CPU. Maybe from a performance angle, but I see one problem with the type four (maybe even a /6) in a 914, the modified valve train (vid at 6:00) and cover might have a problem fitting between the trailing arms. |
