As i'm on the lookout for my newest family member i'm afraid its time to let an old one go and i'm planning to let it go with a bit of fun .
        I am the not so proud owner of a very tired mv6 3.0 and rather than drive it to the scrapyard i'm going to try an experiment and i need some advice an oppinions please.
what i plan on doing is filling the spare tyre with pure oxygen from the oxy acetylene kit and plumbing the tyre to the plenum chamber via i tap. if i survive that i will take it to the old waste ground and open the tap whilst driving . if i can increase the oxygen mix will i increase the power out even if it just for a couple of minutes .

I'm not sure what the engine management will think of all that coming in, after the MAF. I doubt it'll give you any extra fuel to compenste therefore - hence just c**king up the mixture!

Maybe less than a second

i don't think the volume will be sufficient enough to effect mixture i'm thinking along the lines of the concentration of oxygen from 20% to say 40% ?

[Bandit127]

LOL. I like the way you're thinking.

Either
1. A poor man's NOS kit without the N and S
or
2. A Darwin award.

Either way, you will be famous.

or i could feed it into the air filter box . does anyone have a spare can of hydrogen kicking around  

[Lizzie_Zoom]

You know what happened to the old airships like R101 and the "Hinderberg" don't you?  Boom!!!  Although they were filled with hydrogen, I reckon oxygen burns at a similiar rate in an enclosed space!

Can I come and film the event........I'll make a fortune selling the dvd! 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

I promise I will pay for a nice headstone for you out of the profits!

[Elite Pete]

I think you should sell it me, so I can use it as a track car

[Marks DTM Calib]

Wont do anything....unless you add fuel to as the ECU has no concept of air with extra oxygen content and will be fueling based on the MAF reading.

         Nearly wet myself when i read this .

[Martin_1962]

Aluminium will burn with 100% oxygen

[michael.d.s.]

but will the enriched oxygen environment not give greater combustion and so on  

[Varche]

Point it at Spain please. I will use any salveagable bits to keep my jalopy going another year.

I don't suppose you are that bothered where your ashes end up?
