Hey everyone,
I came here to try and as 3 questions in one forum, first of all I own a M998 HMMWV with a 6.2L NA engine in it and I have been wanting to do some serious upgrades to this truck.
First question...a Banks Turbo charger...I see the 6.2L kit out there, but I heard there was a version of this kit specificity engineered for the 1992/1993 H1 Hummer. If that is true, where do I get one? Would anyone have one to sell, if so, how much would it cost? Or do I have to go out of the way to modifying this banks kit to fit my truck all on my own?
Second question...a Banks Exhaust Break...I know some of the newer HMMWV's that the US forces actually have got special options for them (like in the M1151 for instance) for an exhaust break. Since there in Afghanistan way up in the mountains, and have so much armour, the Banks Breaking system allows them to descend down steep sloaps with ease, but does the 6.2L engine have this option? Has anyone ever tried to install an exhaust break in the 6.2L before? If anyone has been successful, how did they go about doing it? What type of break did you use, and what information could you tell me about it?
Third Question...Brown Gas...Now this is something have been looking into for a long time. Brown gas is simply just another fancy name for doing an electrolyses in water to separate oxygen and hydrogen gas then put it in the air intake of your engine. From what I have been reading up on (which I'm not sure is true or not) but can give you a good 55% more fuel efficiency by mixing this gas into your engine, and it keeps it clean on the inside. My question is, has anyone ever attempted to do this with the 6.2L before? If in theory I was going to do this to my engine, would I have to inspect the engine for cracks first (like you would if you were going to add a turbo charger, and yes I read the books, that's why I asked)? I also heard that sometimes, if an engine has been running for a very long time, the dirt and carbon that it accumulates over time is what holds the engine together and if you start tampering with it (or clean it), that's when bad things start to happen. So by doing this to the 6.2L could I expect that there would be long term problems by injecting brown gas in the intake?
I'm not much of a mechanic, my speciality is electronics and instrumentation hardware, but since I have this truck, I am doing everything I can to gather information before starting to touch (or buy) anything.
Thanks :confused:
