Water 4 gas: Installing this weekend.
Today was supposed to be the day. The day I start the modifying of my ‘02 Yukon Denali XL.
I was to get the exhaust modified in order to increase the mpg efficiency. It was to cost me $188 for the parts and labor. I dropped the truck off this morning before work and had a coworker drive me to pick it up afterwards. The mechanic tells me that I’m unable to put just one on because there’s 2 close exhaust pipes coming from the engine. I’m then quoted a price of $388 for parts and labor for 2 exhaust systems. The reason for the extra labor is he’d have to basically create some space between the side by side exhaust pipes.
However, I do have so good news… My Hydrogen boost system has finally arrived and I can start implimenting that system and track it’s results after the install. So starting this weekend, I’m going to install the water 4 gas system in order to tapp into this possible increased mpg phenomenon.
After that’s installed I’m going to have to buy an air intake regulator that reads and adjusts my O2 sensors so that I can achieve the most mpg gain possible. The box runs about an additional $100 on top of the $103 I’ve spent for the w4g system (on ebay).
So as a result, I’m going to test the mpg improvement with the w4g system only. Ride it around for 2 weeks until my mpg averages out (It’s currently at 13.3 mpg). Then, I’m going to add the fuel regulator box to maximize mpg gain. If I’m close to the 20 mpg mark with those 2 modifications, I’ll then get the dual exhaust system put in.
Of course, all details will be recorded and produced for your enjoyment. All goes well, I may be able to sell the (recently acquired) 2000 Honda Civic for a profit.
