Ok I've been doing a lot of reading here and I'm just trying to grasp the concept.
I drive a 2003 Ford ZX2 5spd. It's 2.0l 4cyl that I get 33mpg with currently. I live in San Diego and regular gas is 4.40/gal as of yesterday.
Doing some reading, it seems you guys "certify" for lack of a better term, the systems on ebay. I'm assuming the systesm from like Water 4 gas, or is it any of them? Ebay HHO Kit (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Water4Gas-COMPLETE-HHO-KIT-EVERYTHING-NEEDED_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6755QQihZ011QQit emZ320257949293QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW) for exampe?
Do you really (since you guys have been working with these systems for awhile now) feel that this would show any real gains in MPG for me?
On top of the system, it appears you need to trick the ECU into leaning out the mixture with other electronics attached to the o2 sensor to see the best gains (since most of you seem to advocate using the intake after MAF setup).
What is entailed with the tricking of the o2 sensor? It doesn't appear that the building and installation of the system should be that hard. I'm just trying to make a judgment on purchasing a system and seeing where it leads. (My wife has a 2001 Ford Escape I'd like to install a system on if it works too)
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
