Maybe I should try this out on my 93 Sentra - the engine is in good shape but the rest of the car is useable but not that saleable. Then if it works and does not screw anything up, I could put it on something less efficient like my Hiace. Wish I had something both semi disposable and inefficient.

What kind of instructions if any do they give for changing the injection timing / volume? For those of us who aren't up to doing that level of adjustment ourselves, that adjustment would be an added cost to go through before seeing if this thing works well enough to buy it.

The feedback I've seen online about similar kits is that they do not do much. And/or that the guys running the various companies are schysters or incompetent, even if the principle behind the technology could work. The one exception is the Canadian hydrogen Company, which makes these for Semis, charges $4k for them, guarantees 10% extra efficiency and has a patent on their hydrolysis converter. they make a smaller unit for $1.5K. They have been featured in Wired magazine, and lease their units out to fleets all over NA. Very solid feedback. No bad feedback online about the company you went to, Powderhound.

I would rather pay $1.5K for something that works than gamble $500 on something which might work. I do like that notion of folks chipping in to test this on a good engine. I'd be willing to risk my Sentra as the test bed, and put in my share, and then either buy everyone who contributed out if it works well, or pass it on to someone else who put in to try - maybe someone with a diesel. I'm in for up to $100, if others will match. I guess the other options are we sit and wait for someone else to take the risk. . .

Suppose that does beg the question of what happens if no one gets good results . . .

Cheers,
Pard
