I would probly agree but not if you want a track car add like 100kg to your car but if not track 100% worth it I got one my car on gas aswell as my old boy turbo and its cheaper then my misses 4 cylinder 323 agaisnt falcon xr6 turbo. and 6 falcon modified.roughly around the 4500 mark make sure you get the liquid injection kit then its worth it others lose power and go in as dry gas and etc so less performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the fuel saving is worth it alone and it always turns back to petrol once it senses a fault so you never actually get stuck anywhere! I was surprised to hear the LPG Injection kits were making more power on the same stock tune as petrol! LPG normally benefits from more advance when it comes to timing. Technically you could also run a bigger turbine housing with less lag then petrol because lpg burns at a higher temperature which equals more exhaust VOLUME. LPG is also more resilient to detonation. So more boost, less lag and cheaper at the bowser makes it worth it for sure. ..I ran a 520hp Boss 290 with 4:11 diff gears on LPG Vapour Inj and it cost less then my wifes Mazda 3 to run..

I can't see any issues likely to pop up and am well outside the time for fresh install hiccups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbers in a second, but let me just say what a friendly and professional bunch they are. Hot rodders all. They love cars, and love giving them... more. This is a high quality kit, and a high-quality install. Very smooth, very neat. Very effective:- I now have 275rwkw, and 620nm torque. Proven, on the dyno. That's power to weight of 220w/kg. Not too many cars in that group. - I also have average 12.4L/10km on LPG, based on 5 tank-fulls to date. LPG is roughly half the cost of petrol, so that is equivalent to say 6L/100km petrol. Not many cars in that group either. That power equates to roughly 390kw at the flywheel. That's roughly 525HP in the old. Its a lot. Too much for my crappy Stiletto Blue Streak tyres (the new Teflon compound tyre that doesn't stick to anything.) The rears lose traction at anywhere up to 100kmh in the wet. I need Teflon on my seat cover too.Their kit for me included a ProcessWest cold-air intake, because the poor car kept running out of air at high rpm on the dyno. Now, it really sucks. It REALLY sucks :-) (Sensational kit from ProcessWest.)I do a lot of kms, business kms, so need the economy of LPG, and love the XR6T performance package, so this was a perfect solution for me.Yes, you are looking at $5K-ish, but..... wow!
