Chrysler Multi-Displacement System (MDS)

I think the technology is really sweet, and certainly a step in the right direction. I think what pulls it down is the fact that the engine its tied to is relatively stone-age in design and not particularly efficient. Apply this to a more state of the art block and I think you'd have something.

And RC, that system sounds like it could be really effective too, particularly since it isn't as complicated. That would be sweet if it had 3 settings - ON, OFF, and automatic so that the computer would decide when to disable the injectors.

I would really like to see if Fiat's UNIAIR technology could possibly assimilate a version of this MDS system. The UNIAIR is for overhead cams for one, and the system can vary valve lift to closely control the amount of air per cylinder... well with some minor modification perhaps it could keep valves completely closed.
