Hydrogen injection

Has anyone found/had luck with a hydrogen injection system? not the b.s. HHO/brown gas kits, but one that uses "bottled" pressurized hydrogen that injected with the fuel not into the air intake? That if one even exists

You'll have to rebuild the whole motor w forged components before even considering moving forwards with something like this.

It's kind of a silly thing to do, Hydrogen is made by breaking down natural gas, so it's going to be far more expensive and have less energy than injecting propane. It's also very undense, so you'd need many, many pounds of boost pressure to equal the amount of energy in gasoline vapor.

Hydrogen does allegedly have an octane rating of 130 or more, which might help prevent pinging, then again maybe not, unless you inject mass quantities of it.

I'm already planning on building a j35 into a 3.7 liter. And I'd hadn't thought of propane injection, the only injection I'd heard of were hydrogen, water or NOS.

93 octane injection works well.

the money spent on trying to get that to work (hydrogen) you would be better off boosting it with a turbo, you would make far better power.

I'd also planned on turbo. Now considering the different types of injection that can be done with.

There's this new crazy concept of fuel injection. I'm not too sure on the specifics though.....

No point in it in a car thats 12+ years old and if what every you are looking at doing very costly. Stick to the basics, and what is known.
