That's why earlier I said it takes time, money and talent to make it work. My buddy's truck had an ECM, one that he had specially made for his application. It wasn't cheap, but given his alternative (10 or 12 mpg) it was worth it. But it took some work to get everything to play nice. So it's do-able, but there is a reason these kind of cars didn't have this stuff when they were built. HHA is a totally different beast. Like Michael said, I don't think most small-engine cars generate enough electricity cheaply enough to get a really significant gain. -- Alex Esplin /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
