    when using a MAF enhancer device to control gas flow amount should the HHO inlet into the engine be placed before or after the MAF sensor

    on a side note. I got to say im a little confused as to how some folks use standard MAP EFIEs, on there O2 sensor. According to what ive read & and the direction with my EFIE.
    To enhance the O2 sensor you need to raise the voltage to lean out.
    To enhance the MAP sensor you need to lower the voltage.


    FWIW Turns out the green wire on my GMC's MAP sensor was the signal wire.
    Curious,does the enhancer you purchased control both o2 and map sensors in one unit.And if so where did you find it?

    I don't think it would matter, seeing with the enhancer you've made the sensor null. But, having said that I would put it after, just because (my random thinking only) I would think you have a truer vacuum after all the BS on the intake. It seemed to help on my car. or I just think it did

    Yeah, my sensor was even marked next to each wire. showing green was for sensor, i thought it was weird also.

    It it works good seems to be built well and the price is right.
    In hind sight i rather have one with built in volt meters but im sure tat wood cost a bit more $$$

    Yeah that's not a bad price for both map and o2.Do your instructions say how to install it if you have 2 o2s?Just curious how they wire it.

    It only reads 1 O2 sensor, then enhances it, and sends out 2 signal to the ECU. so its thinks it reading from 2 O2 sensors,

    Right now im not sure i even needed the Map part.

    I no I leaned out my van too much yesterday. Funny thing is I only noticed hesitations when the van shifted to third gear, but no hesitations any other time.

    Time to hook up the HOD and see how this works.

    If you overlean with a map en. you will also notice some chugging when slowly accelerating when cruising at high speeds.Most instructions say to increase until the motor stumbles then back off slightly,which I've found is way too much and will cause poor performance and most likely you'll use more fuel than without it.I've found that setting the map en. low then finish tuning with the o2 efie works well.Tuning goes smoother if you tune a little then drive for a day or so then tune a little and so forth.This way the ecm is not as likely to catch on to what you're up to.

    Good luck and thanks for the efie info

    Thanks for the tips

    I’m taking a step back with enhancing. I’m just trying to understand what im doing a little better. So For now, Im trying not to do any leaning of fuel and I turned the MAP enhancer off.

    Now, im only using the O2 enhancer to maintain normal readings. I'd like to just start increasing HHO production until I see some good results. After that I’ll start leaning with the MAP enhancer... I hope to see good result without leaning around 3-4 LPM. (1 LPM had no results to speak of on the 2001 GMC 3500 box van).
