help to install an HHO device into a VW Golf 3
« on: November 09, 2007, 10:56:31 AM »
Hello to all, who have already tried and installed an HHO electrolizer into a car with a fuel injection system
I want to install an HHO device into my old Volkswagen Golf 3 car.

It is an automatic transmission car with 75 PS and a Bosch Mono Jetronic fuel injection system.


Since I am not such a "autonut builder",
but want to test it , how much really such a HHO Elektrolyzer will help to reduce the fuel usage, I would like  to inquire whether someone knows,
where one introduces best the detonating gas with a Golf3, without one must change anything at the oxygen sensor.


I telephoned yesterday with a friend, who is been versed with cars and he meant, I would have in my VW Golf 3 a Bosch mono Jetronic fuel injection system...

So, how can one build it best, in order to introduce the HHO gas there?

Generally I have also have one in principle question in addition...

How is the fuel usage to become lower, if the oxygen sensor with electronics measures the necessary gasoline quantity and afterwards the injection gasoline controls?

If one introduces the HHO gas thus behind the oxygen sensor, thus directly at the aspirating connecting piece then, then the engine gets still exactly the same much gasoline, since we did not change the oxygen sensor. What does  then the additional HHO do ?

Can one drive then  with lower number of revolutions with more power ?

Actually one would have to "hack" also the oxygen sensor electronics, so that there would be fewer gasolines injected, right ...?

Thus everything looks very complicated with fuel injection systems and therefore I ask myself whether it will be at all beneficial
 to try it with fuel injection systems in an engine?

Thank you very much  in advance.

Regards, Stefan.

hello hartiberlin!

 first off I would like to say that this is a tremendous place for information!! This is my first post although I have been on the boards absorbing all the information for some time.
 
  You are absolutely correct in your assumption that you have to "fool" the cars computer because of  the oxygen sensor. If you do not manipulate the voltage output from the sensor to the computer the car will sense a lean condition from the HHO gas and actually try to compensate by adding more fuel. I have noticed many people who have added an electrolyzer to thier vehicle without modification to the oxygen sensor output and still claim an improvement in fuel consumption... It is possible, but to really benefit from the HHO it is necessary to change the sensor output.

   due to HHOs powerful burn and the fact that it can effectively "boost octane" so to speak,  it should be acceptable to run the engine leaner than the stoichiometric ratio of 14.7 to 1 that they require..

 if you look on youtube ZeroFossilFuels made what is called an "EFIE" to manipulate the output of his oxygen sensor. It appears to not be very complicated. Im sure he has schematics somewhere for it  ;D

   I hope this helps somewhat... :)

good day! :D

You will also want to check here for his post about it.  I think I remember him saying that there is some errors in the method.  On that note I had a few questions and maybe zero will post more here about it.  I have 3 O2 sensors in my truck 1 off each exhaust manifold and one off the catylitic converter.  I was wondering what I may have to do to adjust those.  I do have a program from www.digimoto.com that monitors the computer and puts up a nice graphical interface so you can see exactly what the o2 sensors are reading. the program was relatively inexpensive compared to it's versitality.  I will try to get maybe some video of it in action monitoring the o2 sensors.

the oxygen sensors that come off the manifolds are the ones that you have to override. The sensor behind the catalytic is just a secondary to basically measure the effectiveness of the converter.

 (thats generally how it works anyway.. it might be a little different depending on the make of the vehicle)

*edit* there is a company called www.hydrogen-boost.com that sells an electronic oxygen sensor overide has part of a complete effenciency package.

the basis of the circut is...

the o2 sensor outputs from 0 to 1 volt depending on the air/fuel ratio( 0 too lean, 1 too rich). the easiest way to find the necessary voltage to tell the computer it is at the 14.7 to 1 stoich. ratio is to wait for the vehicle to warm up and then measure the voltage coming from the 02 sensor. Once you have that reading its just a matter of designing a simple circut that will output that voltage. If you really wanted to get fancy you could run a 2 way switch with the newly created circut and a air/fuel ratio gauge. wire the switch up so the circut sends the output to the computer but the o2 sensor sends its voltage to the gauge. that way you could see the actual air/fuel ratio but still be compensated by the new circut inputing the voltage to the computer.. ( i hope this is making sense.. sometimes I cant perfectly describe my ideas.. please bare with me)

Biggest part I worry about with this is under no load an during load the o2 sensor voltage will vary?  Or since the hho would be a constant, you just have to offset for that differnece.

CERAMIC AND TEFLON COATING
Ceramic coating is not just for headers and turbine housings. It's also used on internal engine components. The main reason is to retain heat in the combustion chambers. Heat is power and the less that is lost to the engine itself means more to the ground. Heat keeps up exhaust velocities and that means a better flowing engine. It's also a way to prevent hotspots on combustion chamber parts, preventing detonation from occurring. This is normally a shop only procedure. If you plan on having it done, get the piston domes, valve faces, exhaust valve backsides, and combustion chamber roofs coated.
Teflon coating is mainly used on the piston skirts, but can be used on anything that encounters friction. Bearings, bearing surfaces, valve stems, etc, can all be Teflon coated. The Teflon coating lowers component friction freeing up more power, but also adds to engine component life. Piston clearances can be smaller, allowing a tighter clearance between the piston and the cylinder wall. This prevents power robbing and engine damaging piston ring blow-by.

Meyer mentioned Teflon coating was necessary to run on this  gas alone. (common ducted oxyhydrogen)  I have no idea what it costs of course. :)

I think we want pictures of the current state of the mobile already Mr Hartman. That's should give a good idea of what it's worth to do with? It will be great to see you build this and get it documented here with films, pdf's and photos. :-)

actually to really see how the o2 sensor is working you should hook up an air/fuel gauge. running at idle or just past, the gauge is bouncing back and forth like crazy.. but when you put a load on it, the gauge stays closer to stoich.. when you floor it.. it goes to rich..

that is where having an air/fuel gauge hooked up would come into play.. on the bypass circut for the computer you could have a potentiometer and adjust it for the readout on the air/fuel gauge under load..

 your concern is a good one though

All an O2 sensor is , is a temperature sending unit . To correct the signal for HHO use this.
http://www.eagle-research.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=15

And if you want even better performance and economy with you gasoline/HHO engine  install a set of these.
http://www.directhits.com/

 If you want your HHO and gasoline to burn at similar timing ,  inject a little bit of your exhaust gases into the HHO line or Cell . This will help stop pre-ignition .  Make sure you use a flashback arrestor in the HHO line.

Safety , Us a solenoid  and a manual switch that gets its power from the ignition system. This assures that the Cell shuts down  when the engine stops running and the key is off . If you do not do this  and wire it direct with a switch  and forget to shut the Cell off,  the next time you start that engine it will be full of HHO and it will go BOOM. So wire to the keyed ignition side of your fuse box.

If you would like a diagram of this  Message me and I will work on something for you.

My understanding is to inject the HHO into the air intake manifold, this would simplify the connection, typically the Mass airflow sensor (MAS) is located there and it is connected to the engine manifold and air filter by a plastic duct. you can drill a hole there (before the MAS and after the air filter), and put a connector in for the HHO gas inlet. put this close to the MAS unit.

The other thing is what IronHead has mentioned above. This is of course for HHO assist system.

Ironhead,

I have heard of the directhits but have not purchased them yet, have you tried them?

You want to  connect the HHO line directly into the intake plenum  away from the break booster as much as possible .Use 1/2" or 5/8"  vacuum hose to do this .Other types of hose will collapse.

Yes I use  this electronic re-curve system (EFIE) and the DirectHit boosters on my 2000  4.0 Fuel Injected Cherokee . The power increase alone is well worth it. As far as the MPG  savings  that all depends on your Cell design and Alternator type. I use this type of alternator for very high full time loads  , I use up to 100 amps 24VDC in my Cells . These are PWM controlled  from 0 to 100 amps  at 24 volts and are connected to the throttle via 5k pot to the controller  but you dont need to go that far.

I suggest you build a dryer/bubble  with safe caps  something like this. This is a bit more than you need for a basic system  but you get the idea. For the wool you need pure  316L wool so it does not rust. you can find it here

That brings up another Idea I had that would prob be a ways down the road as I have yet to build the generator big enough and efficient enough.  But anyways I was thinking, for alternators,  what do you think about 2 alternators frame mounted in the drive shaft area and belt driven from the power of the drive shaft (my car is a truck) and some sort of switching unit that turns them on during decelleration.  If my thinking is correct, this would use the inertia of the vehicle to turn the alternators, thus reduceing the load applied to the engine.  It should also assist in reducing wear on the brake system as they should put a load on the driveshaft thus helping it to slow down?

As said above I think the line needs to be after your throttle plate.  If you place it between the MAS and throttle plate, you would have the chance of (pumping) excessive amounts of HHO into the intake which would probably mess up and adjustments you have made to the way the computer reacts to the added HHO.  There has been talk in places of using 2 lines one in the intake plenum, and one in the duct leading to the throttle plate, since under full accelleration the there is hardly any vaccum in the engine to draw with.  Best of course would (I think) be if you could route a line for each cylinder as close to the intake valves as possible.  This is the place where vacuum should be highest when the engine needs it most as it is the bottleneck of the cylinders.

you will not produce enough HHO to pump into the engine it will never pressurize as long as the engine is running , you pull the HHO off via engine vacuum.When your engine is running your Cell is under constant vacuum. Even though the vacuum drops there is still enough to draw in the HHO. It has yet to be determand if more HHO is produced under high vacuum though it appears that way . Does not matter really if your just getting started in this and want to get some fuel millage enhancement. Just Build It , install it and go from there.

EDIT for my lack of proper reading.
