Well I have been seeing these set ups online about how you can get better gas mileage when you run the steam water system with your regular gas system. My friend just installed the system into his ford ranger and its awesome. I will have to post up some pictures of the system.
for references, just one of the many on youtube:

Yup, I am building one. I will post pics and before and after MPG. Should be up soon. I went to Home Depot yesterday for parts.
Who knows how to trick a Honda Map to run lean?

Wouldn’t it run richer then?
looks pretty hack / mad-scientist / shade-tree mechanic to me (and even the video’s poster says it wasn’t real-world gains if you read the comments)

I’ll wait for this:

Same idea, turn wasted energy (heat) into power via steam expansion. Only crower does it via an extra up/down of the piston.

There was a video on youtube of a saturn with the system, he was getting around 30 and then with the system he was getting 48 or something.
well if u do start the project lmk i’d like to stop out and check it out.
I still need to see one of these in person before I will believe the results.
