If it's simply a matter of recapturing energy from waste heat to improve IC engine efficiency, it'd be so much more effective - and cheaper - just to replace it with a Stirling engine as generator in a hybrid system. Or for just capturing exhaust energy, look up the "TIGER" device, which drives a generator with the exhaust side of a turbocharger.
