The engine's response to HHO injection

[Ryanrpm]

Yeah, I know I'm resurrecting this thread.......

Shatto, you plan on doing any hydrogen injection to your Tundra?

What other mods have you done to increase FE in these trucks?

I have done nothing.

In a while I will be due for tires and will upgrade to the new MPG tires and I may go to a bigger diameter tire, but I have not calculated the difference in RPM/MPG. Then there is messing up the way the computer works problem.

My research says intake and exhaust will improve performance but the possibly one mile per gallon improvement is so low, and the expense of changing out a perfectly servicable system is so high, that even with gas going up......let me put it this way; spending a thousand bucks is too much for the potential savings.

My daddy had a wire that stopped the throttles of his P-38 at maximum power. If he got so scared he kept pushing them for more power, like when tracers were going past him from behind, the wire broke and allowed the water injection system to work and there was a substantial boost in power to get away. Then they replaced the engines.

I have yet to see evidence that any of those fancy water or hydrogen or oxygen systems work. Guess I was really turned off when emails were not responded to. Maybe they just want me to buy their book.

Adding a natural gas system works. A Dutch guy posted an excellent tutorial on modifying his Dakota a while back, but unless I can get ahold of a Honda home hook-up, there aren't enough stations, even around here to justify the expense. Then there is the problem of installation. I need the bed to carry stuff, not fuel tanks.
Here, taxis use CNG because it allows them to use commute lanes when empty and because it is politically correct and because Ford sells the CNG version for about the same price as the gas model but they don't sell the dual fuel.

Interesting Shatto, my dad was supposed to fly a P38, but when they arrived at their assignment they realized they were going to fly a B17. Fall of 1943.
He flew 30 missions over Europe from Christmas eve of 43 until D-Day.

I always wondered what would have happened to a P38 if they had replaced the Allisons with Merlins, like they did in the P51.

I don't recall an opposite rotation Merlin being available. I think there were griffons though, but they had altitude issues.

edit: doh, no the griffon was a success it was the peregrine I was thinking of..
