How did they do it? They are running twin walbro fuel pumps and twin fuel lines...Ben (@ Australian LPG Warehouse) is putting in some faster flowing injectors tomorrow to see if he can get a nice idle and stop the ECU from having to even out the fuel ratios...So... The good news for me... It will be running over 300rwkw on 50c a litre gas...The bad news for everyone else... I dont think they are that keen to put kits together, as they advised it would be too expensive... They have to run different relays in the tank etc etc... and an extra fuel pump... I guess if they had enough interested people they would have to put a kit together?I will speak to Ben tomorrow and find out how much more it would cost if someone wanted this setup... I guess they know exactly what to do now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-SPEC You are a dead set goose Silver Donating Members 3,968 Member For: 18y 11m 25d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 27/11/08 09:11 AM Share Posted 27/11/08 09:11 AM So what you're saying is, the amount of money you've spent on getting your conversion to gas outweighs the cost of filling your tank with petrol for 12 months thus making it a complete waste of time?

PLUS if I run on 100% Propane gas, it is 112RON, hence produces more power than premium unleaded...And I could fire two BBQ's now!!! I have twin fuel pumps!!!
