Default HHO Mod

I just recently purchased a 1993 F150 xlt supercab 4x4 with a 5.0l and am wanting to add an HHO (hydrogen) booster to it. Has anyone here done this mod, and if so do you have any tips to make this a smooth process.

Save your money and do something that actually works.

I've seen the mod on other vehicles including a chevy running a 454, have seen the before and after results as to how well it can work, just wondering if anyone has tried this on here.

They used it on a chevy. That explains it all. They will try anything to keep up with a Ford. They tried water systems on carb engines in the 60s, 70s but never got anywhere.

Those cheap HHO systems don't do anything. I've seen plenty of reviews on them and I know what a good one looks like. I'm sure you don't have a system that works, probably one of those cheap little things stuffed with steel wool or something. Not to mention it's harder to make it work for a fuel injected vehicle because of the oxygen sensor reading the extra oxygen and throwing off the fuel curve.

Well I figured rather then use one of them ****ty pre-made ones I'm building one and I'm looking for people that have tried it not just read a few reviews. Thanks for the input on it but I've read reviews too, which is why I've opted to do my own, and with the o2 sensors there are ways around it.

I also have plans for one of my own dude. How large of a toroid coil are you using?

My dads friend set up a hydrogen system in his garage for a week, then tried it on his truck. Homemade.

I haven't decided on my size yet man, I'm planing on using stainless plates instead of tubing or wire, will prolly make a sampl one at first to see if there is any good change and if so will then move to a larger size. I've youtubed it and had found a large selection to work with. I'd love any input on it if you have any ideas.

Do to know what he was running for a motor? I've seen that these boosters can be pretty damn amazing for gas mileage as long as you have everything set up right
