Really simple just as a gas research carby.. except instead of 1 point of entry into the manifold, it has a seperate solenoid for each runner/cylinder..Good to see results being made there... Unsure how far you could push the power up on such vapor injection system. I have seen APS Frankson say for "serious of boosted setups" Liquid injection would be ideal for testing..I am highly interested to see a Liquid injection system being installed / developed in a highly tuned turbo vehicle.Injectoing LPG as a Liquid has one major property over a vapour system.. As its injected as a liquid, a smaller "dose" is injected, and it expands in the manifold prior to the inlet valve.. Big deal you ask?hell yes.. As it expands it "absorbs" the heat out of the incoming air.. Technically giving you the ability to do away with a intercooler... (but why would you??)

Even with the Gov kickback I cant see the cost offset having any gain unless your doing a load of K's to make up for it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
