I'm not sure how much energy it would take to make enough Hydrogen to run the engine, and if you'd get that energy back.  I don't know what to expect, but my guess is that something about the process wouldn't work.  However, don't let my pessimism stop you from trying.  :-)

In ww2 they water injected the airplane engines to get more hp, when you drive your car on a rainy day the engine has more power and runs smoother.
I used water injection on my car in the 60's to run at the dragstrip (also cooled the fuel with ice helped also).
