Poll: What needs to be improved/invented?
K guys i need your help on this one. My ISI project that i posted on here awhile ago cannot be done, *** it has already been done. So I need to know something (ford truck related) that needs to be improved or invented.
Here are some ideas i have: one idea i have is making a W-18 version based on the 351cleveland that fires two pistions at once, or making a version of the TTB to fit in place of the back axle on fords, or making pure oxygen be able to be injected into engines. I need a lot of help on this one guys and gals. So please let me know your ideas A.S.A.P.
Thanks for any help.

Here are some ideas that might me worth looking into. Fuel economy. I think could be a good improvement. Alternant fuel sources. Vehicle safty. I believe oxygen injection has already been done. With more oxygen you need more fuel. They system I'm thinking of is NOS. I have an idea that I haven't told anybody about for fear of having my idea stolen. I just don't know how to go about getting my idea known to the right people. It is for vehicle safty. I think it is a good one. I don't know why nobody else hasn't thought of it yet. Anyway, good luck with your project.

Just so you know, NOS only has 36% or 38% percent oxygen and pure oxygen (like in a tourch) is 100%. I have never heard of it beening done cause fuel can't be added fast enough to the engine to create a controled burn (thats what you need for an engine to operate properly) i have some ideas to add fuel faster but i don't know if it would be fast enough.

They tried the pure O at the digs and found that it was VERY unsafe! Sure you might build a holding tank that is bullet proof but what about the deliver lines? You'll never find a delivery system that is safe in any kind of accident, and I wouldn't want to be within 200' of an O tank that has been heated in a fire.
How about building an system for burning H2 that can be stored with C2 or H2oC2. If they can convert h2o into h2 for welding in plants why not do the same and use it for fuel? The method is out there someone just needs to perfect it.

That is a good idea, I'm a little confused with storing the H2 with C2 and H2oC2, i'm a little brain dead at the moment what gasses are those?
The direct injection idea can you please explain it to me, i am not that familar with direct injection.
I still need more ideas guys and gals, these are all great ones but i need more.
P.S. make sure that the ideas have not been done.

Never mind about the direct injection idea, cause i asked my dad about it and he said that you the air and fuel to mix, maybe a direct injection propane power boost or direct injection NOS system of some sorts, what do ya think.

You would need an air source for the propane and a fuel source for the N2O.
H20 is water (the stuff you get out of the tap) in industry it is separated by sending an electrical current (electrolysis) threw the water. If you put two small current electrodes into a flask filled with water the bubbles that form on the – (negative side) will be hydrogen and the ones on the + (positive side) will be oxygen. If you could find a way to safely store hydrogen in autos you could power a car for less then .01 (yes one cent) per-gallon.
What’s even better is that hydrogen burns exactly the same way as gasoline. The reason for this is that it is the hydrogen found in the chemical make up of gasoline that is burned by the engine and nothing else. This means that there wouldn’t be any mod’s needed to a gasoline engine to burn straight hydrogen fuel, and the only emissions is H20!

I think in Vancover they are expirementing with that idea in busses.
How bout inventing a universal Turbo kit for Ford (80 to 96') trucks. It would include all the nesscarry hardware for mounting: brackets and intercooler, and have a large choice of turbos to choose from. I'm pretty sure that that hasn't been done.

I believe that I'll will be doing a universal kit for the F-150 from 1972 to either 1986 ro 96'. What kind of turbocharger would you guys recomend using? I was thinking of using a 2.3L 1987 T-bird turbo(i called a guy that deals with turbos and he said that it would probably work) The guy i talked to said that noone probably hasn't done this. If you can think of anyone that has done this (entire turbocharger kit with all the mounting hardware) please let me know.
P.S. This kit will be universal and will fit any motor that the F-150 came with during those years that i mentioned.

In thinking about it (and this is just me, rambling for the moment) a solar powered hydrogen cracking plant could be built to operate on either a gas station or home use scale, where it generated free hydrogen from a water supply and either stored or released oxygen depending on marketability... (Vice storage requirements)
With a home setup, your fuel tank would be replenished during the day, and when you got home you would only need to hook up to the tank for a refill...
Dang - what a concept!

I've always liked the idea of having a launch-assist setup, something where you could use the power you'd gain braking to compress air or hydrdylic oil or something, them expel that energy in the form of acceleration. It's simple and very a acheivable....

The turbocharger idea will be built for the trucks not for the motors and it would be just (now that i have gone out and checked out all of my dad's trucks to get a mounting idea) for 1980 through 1996 model years.
Oh yeah before i forget the project has to be able to be done in 3/4 of a school year and economically feasible-inn other words is there a need for it and will people buy it.
