Default CTHRUIS350's Hydrogen Car is DONE!

ALMOST!

For all that has been wondering the status of my hydrogen car, I am proud to announce that we have jumped the hurdle of the ECU tuning itself back to norm issue.

The technicians spent the whole day in Carmel, testing and tuning in collaboration with a few other companies and they got it.

the 2007 Corolla had the same issues as my car, but they got it to work and it was displayed to with a whopping 57+ MPG Average (34 Prior)

My team took the client's Ford Expedition 2008 there and recorded a 16.2 MPG AVG. after the whole day tuning and testing on the car, it returned with a 22.4 MPG Avg.

we tested the car today with the device and board from the Corolla and recorded 42 MPG+ Freeway. (prior 28) And this time, it will be able to be kept at that stage.

Forget 50 + Resistors.. Only needed 1. (They did need 50+ resistors to test before, but our associates created a device where its adjustable)


Anyways.. I will be at JDM Theory in JTOWN SJ tomorrow.. and again, its about 3.. I'm putting the car back together... and sleeping at 4AM, a day before the show.. again.


CHEERS,
IM HAPPY.

Actually some fellow CL members are playing guinea pig and getting it installed on their cars and their beater cars... look forward in seeing more people with these kits. our website is up and functional now.. www.awaterhybrid.com

Baoser had one was supposed to debute at EOS with me.. but unfortunately it could not make it.

at minimal production, Baoser was able to get 3-5 MPG extra.. at normal production, i am expecting a lot more, no doubt. I'm done with test kits... through the 8+ kits i ahve installed in my car.. I am done, and moving forward.

This car debuted at JDM Theory today... and attracted a lot of curious people.
The final tuning stages of my 2IS will be completed in less than 2-3 weeks. as we need to make it look good... and yeah : pisaykotik, I am expecting 41+ MPG when i receive my optimizer / Chip back from R&D.

I am tired from the day... So I will upate people as it come..

I think this will be the official thread for my project.. 150+ views and it was posted this morning / late last night. wow.

Car Installation was delayed. We have the chip back this past sunday, but our Tuner had a last minute family emergancy. Therefore, we took out the cell, refinished the plates, installed it back in, and just chill.

The car is going back to Sac this Wednesday for finishing. Poor car... 56,xxx miles and counting. (1.5 years)

Are you going to do it on the Accord as well?

Also, you think this system may also help a Prius as well?
