Double+ your gas mileage?????

Ok, just finished install and the first test drive..........

Really, it smoothed the engine out alot. I've read all the "reviews" of people saying this, but I didn't excpect anything noticable. I was wrong fortunately.

A 1992 Nissan sentra 1.6 4 cylinder with 218,000 miles with a large dent in the oil pan, and all original motor mounts(except one, Damn Camry jumped out in front of me, I toasted him good.) So, 1 autozone motor mount replaced 60k miles ago.

It runs so smooth I thought it wasn't on and it had died, nope.

Put your hand on the hood and you can't feel it run(really)

Anyway I'm not here to sell these things, just post my findings.

I just filled the gas tank, had about 330 miles from 11+ gallons.
30 MPG for last tank
Best I ever remember getting was high 40's (driving like a grandma, and a lot of coasting)


So give me about a week plus and I will let you know what happens

The vacuum pulls it in with intake air

the thing might work but in a different way : by injecting water in the engine , this cools the intakecharge and raise the octanelevel a bit .

Exactly so that small bit of hydrogen and oxygen you are making is getting diluted into the intake air your car is sucking in. 1.6 liters of air to be exact with your particular engine.

Injecting water directly into the chambers was used to stop detonation. It let people run higher compression ratios or more boost on lower octane fuel. It really doesn't have much benefit other than that.

From the jegs catalog.

The primary function or water/methanol injection is to provide ''chemical intercooling''. This system suppresses detonation so more power producing boost and timing can be utilized as with any intercooler. Water, with its high latent heat of vaporization cools the intake charge and combustion. Methanol cools the charge and combustion but also acts like an extremely high octane fuel (some researchers claim as high as 120 octane) as well as adding more oxygen to combustion. Kits include a Lifetime Warranty!

Especially shine probably costs more than gas.
