i have found a few sites that have mentioned about using a catalist even found 1 or 2 that go into a little more detail and says that it will only cost about .3 cdn per gallon for it but ill be damned if they tell what the catalist is, my father is skeptical on this but he is gonna help fund me with some extra money to try a few systems out and see which works best or which mixture of systems works best. its gonna prob be a very slow process as it will be done in my spare time but i will be sure to take plenty of pics and catalog the whole process. now time to get building i guess. CHIM ill have to check into that exhaust reactor setup as i havent heard of anything like that yet in any of my reasearch. obviously it works though after you prime it up.

lol craig actually its my landlords car and im posative that it has a ea71 motor in it since i seen it there myself stamped right on the block lol. its stamped ea71 right in the same spot my motors are stamped ea82. he bought the car with that motor already in it, i could tell it really didnt belong though since among other things the upper rad hose was about 2 feet long and curved back into the thermostat housing. electrically wise it looks to hook up the same ,if im looking at the crappy haynes manual right the one i have to put in. looks like a hitachi disty, what kinda modification otherwise would have to be done to make it fit?

forgot to mention the current disty in the ea71 looks exactly like the nipendenso one i have on my 87 motor in my soob. tried a search but did come up with much info

like the title says, the disty is from an 85 carbed ea82 and wonating to know if it will fit a carbed ea71 that is sitting in an 87 justy

did my rims all black as well i would have the centercaps on there natural looking but i only have 3 and ran over 1 of the da%$ things lol. i would try to get a pic but i can only seem to keep them clean for a day or less before i go out mudding again, so they usually look color match brown lol yeah a picture never does justice to how something looks

well i guess 1 missunderstanding on why i am doing this is the emmisions. while the cleaner environment is a very nice thing, especially because of my kids this is not the reason im looking into this or any other type of alturnative fuel. if it wasnt for current gas prices i would rather own an old car with big block v8 and straight dual exhaust. but with gas prices going up and up im looking for a setup that doesnt need fossil fuels. maybe this will work and maybe it wont. the only way to truly find out is to try it or talk to a real person that has. what shouldnt work and what does work can be 2 completely different things.

hey lpg i have no problem at all with you hyjacking the thread, from what ive seen you seem to be the only other person trying out alternative fuel sources(no offense if someone else is and i didnt know) i would actually be interested to know some of your findings if you are willing to share any. you can pm me if you like. keep the info and opinions coming i am keeping a very close eye on this thread

hoozie yeah thats one of the plans i have i have a cpl others as well so i can do a cross comparison on them to see what is simular and what is different and go from there

well regardless what people are im saying what the hell im gonna try it i have gotten much better info than the stuff i initially saved. the only way to make advances in stuff is to try it out regardless of what people say about it. the only chandge in plan is the wife and i decided today that we are gonna build a test system and run it on her car first since im gonna be buying her a newer truck anyways the motor is on its way out anyways with smoking and light knocking on in the bottom end. its a 97 plymouth breeze that had been wrecked before i bought so it has been hard to sell because the unibody is still bent if i prove it to work on that ,then it will be moved to the soob after the nessesary engine mods are made and yes i do value peoples opinions thats why i posted here but everyone says no so that makes me want to try it out more and if i can prove it to work then i can say 'ha i did it' and if it dont work then you can feel better that you were right and while i dont really understand chemestry i do have a basic understanding of the things you guys are talking about on the amount energy that is required and whatnotadn i have been doing quite alot or reasearch into this i dont just go by what two sites say, if i did that i might as well buy that 20 hp increase resister from that idiot on ebay!!!

if its a click click its most like the cv's but if its more of a clunking sounk it might be like mine was and just need the bearings repacked or replaced. mine was doing the clunk sound on a turn under force ie hitting the gas or decelerating it. greased the hell outta the bearings and mine has been driving great since. sorry but to really check that you are gonna have to pop out the lower balljoint from the spindle and remove the axle from it to really check the bearings. if you have the extra money right now i would say to go ahead and replace the bearings yourself, there are a couple threads here that go into detail about how to do it yourself. but if your tight on money like i was you can just try re-greasing them

thanks for the info SKO and baccaruda ill check those out in a little bit and see if i can find anything heres a couple of the first links i came across not super informative but gives you the idea, i didnt save any after these so i gotta do a little more searching to find some of the other ones i went to that were a bit more informative these are more trying to sell you the book to do it, ill get the more informative ones later on tonight http://http://www.cashmaxmall.com/hydrostar.htm http://http://www.futurehorizons.net/hyd2a.htm like i said i will try to find the actual info ones later on

da%$ didnt notice the year on it till you said that calebz. was about to reply lol i guess someone was really bored and dug up soem of the old stuff lol, or set there view to view oldest first!!!

lol looks like you had some fun, ive been lucky so far and havent messed the tires on mine up yet, didnt even do it rock crawling supriseingly. but you know if you dont pop anymore tires you might have to rename it lol

i didnt use any locktight at all and havent had any problems for the last 2k miles i have put on it, and i give it hell offroading so i think your safe without it but if you really wanna use it i would go with the lower locking stuff

hey 555ron im not on that comp right now so i cant post them at the moment but i will later on today.yeah i had seen the hydro focus and a bunch of others a few months back on a TLC thing with that old MASH doctor(cant remember the guys name) thats what started to give me the idea yes i have read about the possability of it getting too hot, but i think i have also found a system that has a cooling setup with it. im running the stuff by a couple people i know that are a bit smarter on stuff like that than me on the system setup i have found the voltage setup it needs i believe it was .5 to 5a and has a total current draw on your system from 10 to 20A, so i guess when i do that it will be time to swap in my 105A gm alt i have also read of some people doing a 93% water to 7% gas mixture to help with the detonation as well, so that is another option, 1 i may start out with till i can get it to run perfect on the pure water. now i have a question or 2 about regarding out motors 1: are the lifters stainless steel lifters? if not does anybody know where i can get a set 2: does anybody know the type of place i would need to find to get ceramicoating done at as i will need to do the pistons, cylinder bore and the exhaust. im glad people have shown an interest in this, and believe me when i read the first site saying it was possible to run your can on water i couldnt really believe it, but after close to 30 sites saying the same general thing, im really thinking it is possible. this project will happen at least if nothing else just to see if it will work to see. what i may do is build the whole system and test it out briefly on the motor already in my soob to see if it will really works and if i find it does then i will go through the cost of getting the other motor ceramicoated and whatnot

hey bear with me im still ironing out the details here lol. basically i have seen a couple different systems for it, doesnt seem like it requires much voltage from what i have been reading so far but proof will be it actually working. hey lpg cool, yeah you gotta love that extra hp you get i know many times i had enough power to pop the front end of that ford right off the ground and drag the back bumper. lol they took it away from me after they had to repair the front end for the 2nd time in 4 months

duh nevermind lpg just noticed your sig!!!! i thought of the propane since i liked it on the schwans trucks when i used to drive. very clean burning, the first truck they gave me was an old 80's ford with a 302 with about 600k on it and still ran like it was brand new with no major work done to it ever. but im looking at the fact that it still costs money for propane and that will probably go up as well.

hey ross i guess you missed the part about me saying that the car will pretty much run on water, yes i thought it sounded like bs but the more im reading the more im hearing more and more proof. hey lpg just noticed the first part of your name are you running your roo on lpg? yeah i have read about the timing needing to be set pretty much perfect to make it work, i think i might look into that ceramicoating, since i pretty much gotta rebuild that motor anyways flowmastered yeah i know the only way to find out if it will work is too try it out, just guess i wanted some imput from the sooby community basically im not gonna be able to get all this going prob till the summer among other things since i gotta rebuild my other motor anyways, but im am definetally serious about this with gas prices the way they are it would be nice to pull up to a gas station and just fill up with free water lol. i can only imagine the looks when they see me putting water in the gas tank lol

ive been doing alot of reasearch on hydrogen powered cars lately and i have found a few different things dealing with converting your motor over to hydrogen powered. now one thing that seems to be the same in all the things i have seen so far is saying that hydrogen has a more powerful than gas so im wondering if these motors could handle it. and no im not talking about the hydrogen fuel cells oddly enough these conversions are supposed to run on water. now i know there are alot of scam stuff out there but i have now found about 30 different sites that all have simular setups, so im kinda thinking its not bs. if the ea82 blocks are strong enough i might go ahead and set up my spare motor that i had to do some work to anyways to run on hydrogen. so what do you guys think?

glad to know i was actually right lol, on my 85 its right toward the bottom on the pillar itself not looking at at the moment but i think its like 4 or 5 inches up from the bottom of the door(sorry its pouring here otherwise i would run out and check)

well im not posative on how to get to it but i think that you would just have to get to the switch on the pillar and disconnect the wire from it but i could be wrong?

they look like this \ / not too bad but i only adjusted it up halfway to even it out a little from putting the rears on the top setting, i was wanting to put them up the rest of the way but i know if i did then they would be pointed way too much inward. it did a little better today with a little extra height offroading. we have a place here called the 'dunes' that within a relatively small area you can test out your ride on most situations from rock crawling up about a 30 foot spot to dirt hill climbing and whatnot why is it the cars dont have any adjustment? every other car i have ever owned has had some type of adjustment

ill check for an exact measurement tomorrow when i get on some flat ground, none around here for a cpl miles lol,

thanks for the info, glad i didnt try it today, i guess i must have really misunderstood what that thread was saying. well for $240 i think ill just let my camber sit a little off for now lol

thanks miles it goes to the right spot at the top but the bottom is connected to the back of one of those pieces that connects to the throttle stuff, guess ill have to fix that
