TURBOTAXI Member 62 Member For: 17y 10m 5d Posted 08/04/07 04:09 PM Author Share Posted 08/04/07 04:09 PM Is it possible to fit a donut tank in the spare wheel well on the XR6T? If I do this I want full boot space. Don't need the spare wheel. Havn't used one for donkeys years.What capacity is possible with a donut tank? Ask APS Frankton - I know they have done a doughnut tank in a T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey_Xr6t Member 12 Member For: 17y 7m 18d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 24/05/07 11:20 AM Share Posted 24/05/07 11:20 AM I really dont know.My backayrd built AU "SNORT" Turbo with ring mixer LPG has done 38,000 on a 104k wrecker motor running 7 psi with a standard ECU. It still runs like a charm.Everything made after 1986 (for unleaded) has hardened valve seats, I dont see that LPG would be harmful to these engines. Its a high octane fuel, it doesnt have some of the carbon deposits that petrol has. I need to see 217,000k's out of this car for the lease, I dont think I will have any dramas. Do some googling on LPG and Turbos' with ford motors, there are some fairly hefty cars out there with LPG and boost. I know of one fairlane built by bensons at cardiff that I think is now 16 years old still running original engine, LPG and turbo.I have four cars on LPG so I am biased, but you cant argue with the cost savings.Can anyone else comment on LPG and the effect on the XR6 turbo's valve seats? I called up elite automotive and they had concerns about the longevity of the engine after an LPG conversion. Is there anything that can be done to the engine internals and/or valve seats to prevent damage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 24/05/07 06:56 PM Share Posted 24/05/07 06:56 PM It is hard to say on the turbo ones at this stage but in say that the standard motors are doing over 800,000 km's untouched.And this is not just the dedicated lpg motors either.The valves in the turbo are better the the standard ones so I call not see a problem really.Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misguided_will Member 8 Member For: 17y 5m 1d Posted 12/06/07 06:44 AM Share Posted 12/06/07 06:44 AM hey what brand kit is being installed?I've done some research and head prins/parnell are really good as is BRC's Sequent system.I'm looking at purchasing a turbo territory ghia if I can convert it successfully.One of my customers over here in WA has just fitted a LPG injection set up to a Turbo territory, he is about to fit the same kit to his BF XR6T and has asked me to tune the edit to suit , he will be taking care of the gas side of it with his own Gas computer tha he uses. Sounds very similar, im looking forward to it, he has plans on making as much power as possible... Look forward to your findings mate and WELCOME!

snowchaser Member 3 Member For: 17y 3m 24d Posted 24/07/07 10:00 AM Share Posted 24/07/07 10:00 AM Just an update - car is great on LPG, am getting about 13l/100 on LPG. I will be ramping it up a little soon with an F6 cooler, bigger LPG injectors and a new tune.Hi Turbotaxi,Can I ask who did the conversion on the XR6T? and approx cost? I live in Sydney and would like to have this done. I saw a Silver XR6T ute (same as mine) on LPG in traffic the other day, has sparked my interest!
