Hi guys,
Let me start by saying this thread is - for the time being - dedicated solely to outlining a build plan, as I won't begin construction for another few months. Anyways, I'm hoping to design a system that will provide some very noticeable results in my car. This is my car so far:
Details of the Engine:
Stock, re-gasketed M73B54 from a 1998 BMW 750iL with 120k miles.
- 5.4 liters, SOHC
- 326hp/ 361 ft-lb torque
- 10:1 Compression ratio
- waterpump pulley spacer which allows deletion of A/C, powersteering, and all accessories except the alternator
- Alusil (Aluminum/Silicone) Block
- Redline 6,000 rpm
Pictures:
There is no definite goal for the gains of the HHO system, just something that can provide a noticeable difference in power, fuel economy, or both. If I could get a 25-30% increase in either range or power, I would be more than satisfied. But, as space or time isn't really a limiting factor in this, I figured I would see what can really be done on a reasonable budget. Since the engine has no accessories I would be able to attach a second alternator devoted solely to the HHO system without seeing an increase in parasitic drag. I want to hear more about the recommended .25-.5 LPM per liter of displacement number, as I am curious why this number couldn't be increased provided one had the air/fuel to match the HHO output. In short, I'm looking for a good dry-cell setup. I've watched all of Mike's HHO Connection videos so I have a good idea of what's needed, but it's the power supply of voltage/amps that still confuses me. Please chime in on what you would recommend for a setup on this engine! If anyone has questions, please ask.
Thanks,
Spencer
