I don't think you'll see any gains from water injection on a modern engine, unless your engine is running with retarded spark, you won't make more power or get better fuel economy. These systems worked great on carbureted, high compression muscle cars when premium fuel became hard to get. Water injection doesn't give you more energy, it subtracts energy from the combustion process, limiting peak temperatures and allows you to run MBT spark if you run low octane fuel.

You hit the nail on the head Dog.

If there is a Wikipedia article to be referenced in regards to HHO/water to hydrogen systems, it should be this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_thermodynamics

Because these snake oil salesmen are breaking #2.
