Hydrogen MAF & MAP Sensors
Ok I put togethor a hydrogen kit for my 8 and wanted to test it out. Can someone tell me if the the 2004 RX8 has a MAF or MAP sensor, I believe it has both but I would like to clarify it. Also does the MAF sensor send out a voltage or a frequency output.

Oh really only a MAF Sensor cause alot of places also sell a MAP sensor for the RX8. Ok well thanks
|
So did you install it yet?
|
not yet im still waiting for my efie to come in, once I get that ill put up pics and probably a video.
|
Cool. I don't think anyone else on the board has tried it yet on thier car.

what is a efie? sorry i am a simple man. just wondering.. beers :beer: |
Swoope, I think the kit he is buying includes a hydrogen generator which will basically produce enough hydrogen to help out during idle and cruise at best.
|
brown gas?
|
Yep! But it's called "Brown's Gas" after a guys name....it's not really brown. lol

i will buy into that, but what is an efie? sorry i dont mean to rain on anyones parade here, but we cant master fi.. i am thinking hydrogen is a bit farther down the road.. the work to the ecu to do a new fuel? god i cant even guess.. hey, but what do i know.. beers :beer: |
Just wonder how many l. per Hr. of Hydrogen is needed to see the improve in gas mileage.

"If you make hydrogen with power from the alternator/battery, the drag caused by the extra load will ALWAYS outweigh the fuel power of the gas produced."

lol...this is why it's interesting to actually see this done instead of in theory. Sometimes theory and reality don't match up. From what I have read, creating hydrogen this way goes beyond basic physics because there are several other variables to take into account. But, like swoope said, we have a hard enough time perfecting FI and creating and properly tuning a vehicle to run on Hydrogen is going to be even harder.

An efie is an electronic fuel injection enhancer. When the hydrogen goes into the engine it senses more air and therefor it would inject more gas, but the efie reverses that and doesnt inject more since the hydrogen gas will do the work for the rest of the gas. I've been reading up on this stuff for a few months and I am finally getting to try it. The rest of the parts are taking forever to come, so ill keep you updated when I install it.

Sounds good. I'm really interested in seeing how it turns out.

the energy required to split water exceeds the energy recouped by burning it Start here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_of_energy oh and if you look around on the web you can find lab studies that prove(via testing and via math/chemistry) that there is not enough "left over energy" in your cars electrical system to produce enough burnable hydrogen to be able to measure any amount of mileage/power increases.

Ok well I have to see it to believe it. I know people say it works or doesnt work, but if everyone just talks and never tries it then you get nowhere. So ill see if it works and if not then no biggie. Its worth a try.
