XRBloke Donating Members 1,219 Member For: 21y 8m Posted 27/05/06 09:57 AM Share Posted 27/05/06 09:57 AM Theres a Silver Mark I XR6 Turbo running around Springwood with Gas Stickers on the plates, so I guess it can be done. Car has the 18 inch rims, I looked twice when I seen the Gas sticker and ive seen it a few times now, personally if I was going to run a car on gas it would be a sh*tter XT, nice cars and smelly gas dont go to well together.

Fat-Tony Member 5,364 Member For: 18y 11m 5d Posted 28/05/06 08:46 AM Share Posted 28/05/06 08:46 AM ive spoken to the folkes at gas inject technologies, now the problem with the xr6 turbo is that there injectors aint big enough, there regualtor will supply 400hp worth of fuel but injectors only 47hp each injector, do the maths over 6 cyl and it aint enough, until they get funding to build bigger injectors I was told only way that it could be done is that you would need to run an additional 6 injectors on the plenum, fabricate a rail for it, and run an aftermarket ecu to control it sending the cost through the roof to save a few bucks on petrol it wont be financially viable to convert at this point in time. hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over that level I have separate petrol injection to provide the extra fuel needed in a manner similar to what you described. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
