    Default Vlt LPG conversion.

    Hi guys. I'm putting a standard turbo setup on my vl. I'm also building a low comp engine to handle about 25 PSI and I plan on running strait gas with a gas research system.

    I'm using this motor to get my gas system sorted out and my ignition system and then a cooler all ready for the new motor so I can just put the motor in and run it.

    But I'm going to use the rebate to get the basic setup in with an impco setup or something similar until I have my manifold and cooler and piping ready for the gas research system.

    I was just wondering where will they put the mixer? Will they remove the cross over pipe and make a new one? I'm just curious. Also what mixer would you recommend?
    Cheers

    Much like a fuel system - an LPG system to support the power you'll make on 25psi is different to the system you'd use to power a stocker vlt setup.

    Ignition on an LPG car will also be very different on 25psi to a standard setup....

    Setting up a system suited to a stocker isn't really going to "get it sorted" for your new motor. - You'll need to change lockoffs, add another converter, re-route a bunch of gas lines, water lines, balance pipes, etc......

    The GRA setup also runs different converter springs and a different closed-loop setup to your avg impco setup (or a mixer-ring setup, for that matter).

    So in short - everything from your LPG tank forward will have to change.....

    Money, time and stuffing around wise - you'd be much better off just doing a full GRA setup with two converters straight up - if the end goal is a 25psi engine....

    Can the vapour system and go liquid injection. It will shit all over the power you will make on vapour. Do it right the first time and you will have a very quick car.

    will require some form of ecu upgrade as well swapping to gas so you can tune spark properly
