    Default O2 Sensor probs with hydro boosting

    I'm currently making a hydrogen generator to get better fuel economy. Prob with fuel injected vehicles is the O2 sensor picks up the extra oxygen and dumps more fuel in so fuel efficiency actually gets worse than better.
    Is there any way on a VY V6 to trick the computer or anything? I have ordered sensor adapters from the states but still would like to know.

    I'm guessing you mean the HHO device. I was thinking of making one myself but I worked out that it doesn't produce enough hydrogen to be better for fuel.

    But to answer your question, yes there is a way to get around it. It requires you to build a Map Sensor. This sensor doesn't actually sense anything so don't quote me on the name but what it does is it allows you to determine how much fuel the car injects by changing the amount of oxygen it reads. This will teach you more about it. How To build a simple DIY fuel injection ECU controller | eHow.com

    Good luck with it. Be good to know about results.

    I'm making the "smack's booster" which creates 1.7L of hydroxy gas per minute - which is by far enough to add to the air intake to get way better fuel consumption - or so i have read. they are talking between 25 - 40% better economy, way way better emissions and even more power - i can't see why i shouldn't give it a go - only costs a couple of hundred bucks.
    cheers for the link I will have a look see.

    Yeah, I had a look at that. The only problem is that to produce the mass volumes of hydrogen, it requires more from the alternator and therefore more fuel. I did my research on it and found it very hard to believe the miracle stories but I would like to see it work. Don't always believe what you read. Everybody will try to sell you their product and most of what they say is just a sales pitch.

    I hope that it works though. Would be good to lower my fuel bill.

    Keep us posted, and would working out what voltage the sensor normally sits at, and then just get a pot and set it to that voltage work.
