Hydrogen Generation This one is alittle tricky. I have a 2005 LS motor. I want to put an HHO set up on. That is basically an onboard hydrogen generator. The purpose of the generator is the supplement the gasoline in the engine with hydrogen this has several effects. The Primary purpose is to improve the efficiency of the primary fuel ie better fuel economy. A few other effects are better emisions and oh by the way up to a 15% increase in HP. Now the only problem I have with this set up is that I don't know how lean I should let the mixture go before I have gone too far.
I have looked into it and in the concentration that I will be appling to the engine has similar burning characteristics to gasoline. The biggest difference is the burn rate so far all I have been able to tell me is that you lean out the mixture and retard the timing and you have up to 100% better gas milage. I know someone to has successfully installed and ran an onboard hydrogen gas generator for yearsvery successfully. the only reason I haven't moved forward is that I don't know what to do with regards to tuning a hydrogen and gasoline burning engine. So that's all I have. any help would be great thanks.

You will not be able to crack enough gas to change the
WOT mixture. Not unless you have saved it up. HHO gas
is mixture neutral. Maybe you change the combustion
dynamics and maybe it's for the better. But you're going
to spend a lot of alternator shaft power doing it. Good
luck with the free lunch.

Yea I've seen hydrogen generators. They are huge and made to recharge 1 car overnight. Not gonna happen in your car. I've made hydrogen too, the machine was the size of a gallon jug and I made two test tube vials of hydrogen and one of oxygen and it took like 30 minutes for that much....

bump for this one, I want more opinions on the effect of HHO on the engine;

Looks like it could work pretty good on cars. Just trying to figure out if hydrogen use on a regular engine needs running less timing or other fine tuning method.
