The tricks up my sleeve... Methods I may implement for better FE.

Water Injection Benefits:
Raises octane of the mixtue
Increases compression (water is incompressible)
Cools incoming air
Steam cleans cylinders

I'm sure I'm missing some. Water injection is much easier to implement on a turbocharged engine.

Another reason for the turbo, is to allow for higher compression to be created in the motor in order to test E85.

So the reasons for boosting are a) Ease of implementation of water injection b) Ease of creating a higher air to fuel ratio, c) Gain of some extra power for a small displacement engine, and d) Increasing of compression for alternative fuel applications.

If it doesn't work out, most of my investment will still have progressed me forward.

Is the 02 sensor modifier the EFIE? I ordered one as part of my hydrogen boost gizmo. I have not installed it yet, though, because life is messy right now.

And welcome to GS!
