Question:

HHO, acetone, and cold air intake.HELP?

Will HHO damage my engine? I‘ve heard that acetone destroys the rubber parts that are in the engine. Is this true? Is there a way to replace the rubber parts with metal ones?Does the cold air coming from a cold air intake, that has been built by myself, help my engine? Thank You All!!!

Answer:

There is a small chance it could damage the engine. Acetone is actually one of the components of gasoline many times, or is used as an additive in small amounts. Replacement of seals is something that can be done, but there are no metal replacements for most of the seals and other components that would be affected by the acetone. At best you might find some seal materials that would be reasonably resistant to the acetone, but they may be degraded by other fuel components. Your best bet is not touch the acetone. Especially if you have an aluminum block engine. While cold air is denser, the auto companies in an effort to reduce certain emissions they did what they could to get the engines to warm up faster, and that included ducting and valving to divert warm incoming air into the engine. The real performance difference between cold and warm air is not as significant as you might think it would be. The reality is if you really want to increase the volumetric efficiency of an engine, you part and mate the parts in a way that compresses the flow of incoming air and fuel as it flows into the cylinder, and exhausts as rapaidly and smoothly. About the only way to do that is porting and polishing the head and intake and exhaust. Using a 5 angle valve grind combination to ease transitional flow into and out of the cylinder. And adding either a turbo charger or a super charger. It does not hurt to experiment, because it lead to new ideas of how to approach things. But at the same time, you need to make sure you have back up plans if something goes wrong- like a spare engine.
cold air is more dense so ou can put more fuel into the engine and it makes more powers if you find rubber parts in the engine and then buy or make metal ones that are the same size and shape you can put the metal ones wehre the rubber ones were but its probably a crappy idea hho sounds made up
Well HHO will burn hotter than gas so it might cause some parts to overheat. HHO exhaust is water so corrosion could be a problem too. Well you might be able to replace some rubber parts with metal but that won't work with rubber seals. Remember that in an engine parts need to flex a little and all metal parts won't do that very well.
