even if you can sort the electronics youre going to spend loads of money doing the work, youll have a modified vehicle so will have hassle every year insuring it, at the end of the day it probably wont be any more economical to run in real life driving conditions.
even if you get marginal improved economy how long will it take to recoup the cost of the conversion? engine, parts labour ... 2k plus?
in short i think its a daft idea
learning to drive economically with your existing engine will cost nothing and save money from day one.
