Hardcore Crazies : Hydrogen Fuel Injection
Anyone in C5 FI/Nitrous investigated using Hydrogen Fuel Injection yet?
Link to pic and results
Link to one of the manufacturers of HFI
Link to another manufacturer
Quote:
A small amount of hydrogen added to the intake air-fuel charge increases the octane rating of the combined fuel charge and enhances the flame velocity, thus permitting the engine to operate with more advanced ignition timing, a higher compression ratio, and a leaner air-to-fuel mixture than otherwise possible.
The result is lower pollution with more power and increased efficiency. Some HFI systems use an on board electrolyzer to generate the hydrogen used. A small tank of pressurized hydrogen can also be used, but this method necessitates refilling.
Seriously considering this mod when I install my 200amp alternator...
Yup - you know it... I am definitely not mentally stable

One better hydrogen peroxide.
Don’t blame me when your heads fly off and land 2 blocks latter.

BMW has a car this year that runs on hydrogen or gas. You can switch back and forth, but power drops considerably on hydrogen.

I saw this too. I don't think hydrogen right now is a high performance additive. + an intake back fire would make nitrous look tame.

I'm not talking about using hydrogen as a primary fuel - only as an octane booster.
