Straight gas?

[Mecha]

Does anyone here run thier car on straight gas?

I was told if i converted my 32 to gas it would be quicker and cheaper to run. The only catch was the cost to install

[krzysiu]

Wouldnt straight gas reduce your power??

[nerve]

lol gas increase power? what world are you living on?

Hey im just the messenger. I was told a few VL owners do it.

[krzysiu]

and they lose power, i got 2 mates with the sam VR commonwhores, 1 on GAS, other on Petrol. You can tell easy that the petrol one pulls harder...

VL owners do it so that they do not spend more money than their car is worth on petrol...

[wizard2k]

ive heard that LPG has a higher octance rating than petrol

so could potentially produce good power aslong as the converter flows enough

[r34_skyline]

it does have a higher octane rating, from memory its like 105. but the way gas is setup etc it prevents the engine from taking advantage of the 105 rating.

Well thats my point. The car is tuned to run gas and nothing alse so it gests the max out of the gas.

So i guess no one with a skyline has done it yet.

The new gas injectors that have just been invented by an Aussie company will revolutionise the way we think of L.P.G.. The "gas injector" will fit into a standard fuel rail and totally do away with the power robbing gas mixers of the past. This will allow the full potential of the gas to be unlocked allowing gas to be used in high horsepower applications.

Dont believe it....here's a link!

And here's another link with a dyno printout

if gas can give an old valiant 300rwkw, think what it could do for your skyline....

the earth...how bout you come and join us sometime!

[Mecha]

well after reading that info ill be putting my 32 on gas! CHEAP POWA!

[riceline]

Is there any word on when this system will be available?

Cost etc etc?

might have to email them

[Mecha]

You can also go on the vl forums and ask some people there what they paid.

[always_me]

its costa about 2300 bucks for any custom kit. thats what i apind for a custom ckit on my van, pre made kits come much cheaper about 1500

It can be done...a few guys over at calaisturbo are doin it or have done it. The most successful so far is VLMUZZA with a striaght gas rb30et running in the 10's for $25/week not to bad i must say.

heres the link.

there is a bit of difference between the gas systems that Always_me and spliff are talking about to the system that DIRTgarage is talking about..

have a read of the website its totaly different system

They are refering to the old school way...which has its limitations....the new way will certainly be a lot more effieient and power productive. I am in contact with the development team regarding a high performance application for a drag car...I will keep you informed.

[riceline]

thats great DG.

I sent them an email in the morning today. Just asking about possible costs and how it would cope with a turbo set up. I'm keen as well to use this and see how it goes.

Gas injection sounds like good stuff! That Bill cambell has a reason to be smiling id say. Only down sides from running gas i can see are very small like the loss of intake air cooling effect from injecting petrol and the loss of added upper cylinder and valve lubrication

Are there any others??

so what is wrong with the way gas is added currently? why isnt it as power effective as petrol?

maybe down the track when we are looking for those bigger injectors spend a little more and go the gas...
