RE: HHO Systems - 8/28/2008 1:17:35 PM    jcbst12 Posts: 1835 Score: 0 Joined: 7/24/2007 Status: offline I''d say $100-$150 up front cost.  Then $25-$50 dollars once every 12-18 months to rebuild the inside.  Savings of around $350 a year at a minimum 3 mpg gain after spending $200 tops. That isn''t amazing but that''s worst case scenario.  The guy who does the red "big rig" units on ebay supposedly gets 27 MPG out of a 5.7 Silverado.  That would be around $700 a year saved on gas after spending $200. So $500 ain''t bad if you ask me.  Plus if you do it right your truck will be spunkier and run smoother. *I used 15,000 miles traveled a year based on $3.60 a gallon of gas with the base MPG at 20. _____________________________ 99'' Silverado 5.3 4X4 Modified Predator 93 tune: TQM @ 25%, injector slope bumped up 4 levels, higher spark advance on WOT TBS, 180 thermostat, 4" CAI, Bypass and De screen performed, AVG: 17 MPG City, 20 MPG Highway.

RE: HHO Systems - 9/2/2008 6:37:25 AM    jcbst12 Posts: 1835 Score: 0 Joined: 7/24/2007 Status: offline Mount the unit somewhere, run 1 vacuum line to the intake using vacuum hose or windshield washer fluid line.  On the end of the hose/line you need a spray nozzle which is rated at 3 gallons per minute or so.   Then run one from the PCV valve using a vacuum "T" and into the unit.  (Air from PCV will push HHO from the unit into the intake).  Then run a positive wire to an accessory power source, ground it, fill the unit with water and baking soda. To tune you need a handheld or professional tune.  Otherwisae you need one of those MAF modifiers and those 02 spacers to "fool" the PCM into backing off the fuel trims.  _____________________________ 99'' Silverado 5.3 4X4 Modified Predator 93 tune: TQM @ 25%, injector slope bumped up 4 levels, higher spark advance on WOT TBS, 180 thermostat, 4" CAI, Bypass and De screen performed, AVG: 17 MPG City, 20 MPG Highway.

You would need to dump about 600Amps into the metal plate (preferably lithium) thats submerged in the water to actually make a HHO system that was worth a damn. Do you know of any 600amp alternators? _____________________________ ''''''''02 1500 5.3L 2WD, K&N CAI, TB bypass, MAF descreened, JBA 9mm SP wires, SLP programmer, Gibson ST exhaust, 3" Fabtech Susp. lift, 33X12.50 BFG MT''''''''s on sweet eagle alloys.
