It can be somewhere upstream, in the manifold. The water will invade the gasoline droplets and basically the gas surrounds the water droplets and when the spark ignites the gas, the water expands and makes smaller droplets of fuel, and the smaller droplets can burn more quickly and also the steam adds power because it is expanding rapidly along with the charge. All this happens in milliseconds. I have a simple vapor generator which acts on the engine's vacuum. Of course, it is most efficient at idle when vacuum is greatest, but then, idling in traffic uses a lot of fuel... You can look up water injection online and find all sorts of devices, some quite elaborate and over $1,000 last I checked. They're more by now, but they are great for increasing mileage, safer than NOS for increasing power, and you can use 87 octane fuel even with high compression, with water injection. Just don't run out of water. :) It increases mileage slightly; but my hydrogen generator - my own invention also - increased mileage about 50% on my Rodeo, and I haven't installed it in my new Ford F150 yet. It has a bad coilpack or two, have to put it on a machine and find out which ones. I had a Dodge Dynasty which also gave between 50% and 60% better mileage and it also cleaned up a filthy engine inside. By that I mean the oil was black within 500 miles when I first bought it, and that with only 88,000 miles. With my hydrogen/oxygen generator and vapor generator, the engine regained enough power to spin the tires from stop just by hitting the gas, and at 100,000 miles the oil didn't get filthy any more.

It not only ups the HP immensely and safely, it also doubles your mileage, about. That means you would be getting around 120 mpg instead of 60. Mine gets around 60, so I am making an assumption here... > >Stanley > > > > > ________________________________ From: jace <[email protected]> >To: Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers! <[email protected]> >Sent: Mon, March 15, 2010 2:36:12 PM >Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] i want more power from my 82 450 nighthawk... > > >hello all, >im new to this group & glad to be here. i just bought an 82 450 >nighthawk and im pleased with it , its just im a big guy and i sure >could use more horsepower. what is the first thing (or cheapest ) >thing i can do for more power thanks > >-- >You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >"Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group. >To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. >To unsubscribe from this group, send email to >[email protected]. >For more options, visit this group at >http://groups.google.com/group/nighthawk_lovers?hl=en. > > > >-- >You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >"Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group. >To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. >To unsubscribe from this group, send email to >[email protected]. >For more options, visit this group at >http://groups.google.com/group/nighthawk_lovers?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
