Found This Site on YOU TUBE. I am having a Fabricator Friend look into this for me. He has heard of many engineers playing with this. Looking at this site below if it does not work there must be a lot of suckers out there - I am a sucker for Subaru's for their reliability. I have owned 3 Loyales and now on to my first Legacy. I would by a new STI if i could justify the go. http://ecohho.com/

Well I should not complain - a lot of folks wish they got 750+ K from a 98 Legacy AWD wagon. Here is another link to another fuel saving resource! http://www.startsavingmegas.com/ Who would ever think HHO is a Scam with how many You Tube videos there are about it ! Has anyone has ever converted a Subaru to electric model here? My Mechanic Says Subaru won't release a Hy-bred until 2010. All I can do for is keep up with the 94 ethanol blend and keep up with the Lucas Product the Oil Stabilizer has really quiet the girl down All The Best! Jspy

Currently I am using 6 ounces of Lucas Upper Cylinder Lube with every tank. I keep the car at about 90-100k on the average and will see about 400k on the first half of the tank. Really Like the AWD Drive in the mountains. Here is a Link that shows how to build a HHO generator http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to/video/how-to-build-a-hydrogen- generator-167536/ A simple video of how to build a hydrogen generator for under 15$. have also found many hho claims on you tube

Hello All, I have invested in a kit on how to build a HHO Generator for My Car. I drive over 40,000 50,000 K a year and the fuel bill is climbing! I am posting private pages for members of USMB to download a complete PDF and Videos on Assembling the Mechanism on your Car. I am looking for any feedback on the best way to Make this work on my 2.2L 1998 Subaru Legacy Wagon - AWD and Standard Transmission - of course. Here is the link to the PDF - Videos ! http://mybanffphotographer.com/node/544 http://mybanffphotographer.com/node/543/play - Click on the download link to best view the Video Many Thanks, Johnny

This sounds right with your input with the alternator as the noise i am hearing does sound more electrical than that of a combustion motor. I will have the Alternator checked to see if she is almost ready to kick the bucket. But the original alternator in my 1990 Loyale wagon lasted 327,000 k! This 1998 Legacy is only 292,000 k old. My mechanic says that the 2.2 motor in the Legacy has a very good service sheet compared to the 2.5 that more commonly used now as I understand the head gaskets like to go on the larger motors. Many Thanks a lot for all the feed back - I will inspected all the noted items! Cheers, Johnny

Thanks for that PDF - that seems to be exactly what happen as she just seem to cut out. Leave it to Subaru to protect that precious 2.2 engine. - good on them to say the least! The black box is secure and the more I listen to the car engine sounds like in certain case situations like the high pitch sound when I accelerated my car as a child on my electric car racing track - you know the ones that had the groove in the middle of the track to keep the cars from ripping off the track. The sound occurs when accelerating at when at all ready high rpms and in the evening when the dew point is reached in a combination of serious wind chill and -23c like it is tonight. Today she was fine and even when i try to rev her hard she did not sound the same as yesterday evening with in climate weather blowing in. But tonight she sounded the same. It was cold last night as this morning even though I let a 500 halogen sit underneath the engine all night. She let me know she was not happy to start up and the cloud of moisture filled smoke that came out of her until she was warm and ready to go made me fill that she is not being driven enough and I am not keeping the tank full enough and some condensation is building up in the tank. I have been driving Loyales a long time and this Legacy is a beast. I am impressed with her as with using "The Lucas Upper cylinder Lubricant" I can get almost 400k on the first half of the tank on the highway at 100 k per hour. The 93 Loyale that I have has gotten 850 k on 55 liters. Their good cars and I love them like people love their pets - but more! Will never take the legacy over the 160 mark ever again - and will only do over 120k with her if I really am that late - to waste the gas. Once again, thanks for all the feed back - it's nice to know that folks out there lover their Subarus as much as I. In the last 4 years I have owned three Loyales (90 92 93) between the three I have driven 100,000 K. And now I have owned this Legacy for about 5000 k.

I will get back with you today after a day of listening to her again. She sounds very nice under normal conditions but has been louder since the new cold weather has rolled in. I will look her over again - this "stp" octane booster is suppose to reduce the knock and ping. I will get back with a better description of the sound I hearing. Does anyone know if Subaru even has governors on the 1998 Legacy? As I have never have had her up past 165k before - I was just checking as so many friends say these newer autos have them at about 160k. Many Thanks, Johnny

I bought my current Subaru Legacy 1998 wagon a little over a month a go and today with some light driving in colder weather she is sounding a little hoarse when accelerating. Being honest I did push her a little hard driving into Calgary and had her up over 165 km for about a minute with a pretty good tail, and wind going down hill until what felt like the governor kick in. I slowed down as soon as felt it - I continued to drive her for the rest of evening with everything being fine maintaing speeds of 110 to 140 km - the Calgary commuters drive pretty fast on the open road and I was only driving with traffic during this time. Today driving her again for another commute and hovering between 90k - 120k she seem fine, on the way home with the temperature dropping - it's about -23c out there at the time of this post she sounds just a louder than normal accelerating. I checked the oil which is mixed in proper portion with Lucas Oil Stabilizer - oils good - no burning or leakage. I also use Lucas Upper cylinder Lube on every tank which really helps on the milage. After hearing that my girl was not happy accelerating I pulled her over - check the oil - she was fine. And when idling there is a slight knock so I got her some octane booster. I like to run 91 to 94 with my Subarus and right now there is mainly 92 in the tank. I am use to Loyales and I still own one. I normally drive no more than 140k for short periods but keep the the speed at about 110k per hour and in the park where I do the bulk of my driving I keep her around 90k. So the question is could one test of horse power with a good tail wind hurt my engine of 291,000 k? The timing only has 3000k on it as I just pick this car before Christmas 2007. And do these 2.2 engines run a little louder when accelerating in colder temps? She sounds fine on the open road at 100-110k in 5th gear but after she has been running for while is when she sounds hoarse when accelerating. Many thanks for any feed back! Johnny:confused:
