Never put tanks in acid - it takes the anodized lining off the inside of the tank - nowadays tanks shouldn't need to be cleaned as the circulation & filtering system on a fuel injected car is far superior to anything in the past - waste of time & money If you lose this protective cover - the...

They also put a lot of extra load on the engine & consume power

If it runs sweet & the motor moves around more than usual it could be the front bush in the auto - I had the drive part of my torque convertor break off where it has the cutouts for the pump to lock in & had to have the convertor & front bush replaced - I was told at the time that this bush...

I don't know if you can get access to the hose unless you cut open & modify the tank - a lot of people have had to replace them - yes the pump needs to sit inside the swirl pot certainly.

Hi - its not so much getting the speedo right - I have a speedo converter unit & speedo is right - its getting the right signal to the auto so it knows whats going on & changing properly - I was told to feed the same signal going to the speedo (after the conversion unit) to the computer - just...

Hi - I have an ecotech in a hilux - just wondering how you went with fixing the speed sensor being out with the speedo - I have 3.7 ratio diff & I have a unit to fix the speedo - can I just route the output of this back to the computer?

There is no need to clean the tank out normally - you would be putting more dirt in by removing the tank - the fuel pump circulates the fuel constantly through the filter - its not like a carby vehicle at all - certainly don't use acid - it will take the anodizing from the inside of the tank &...

I would be interested in more info on how you fitted that fan - I have a VS Ecotech engine / auto trans in a 93 Hilux - it has the VS radiator in it with the VS electric fan in it - I also have the a/c problem at the front of the vehicle. Mine doesn't get hot at the moment - but once I get the...

Yes I am also a gas convert - I have one vehicle down to less than $8 per hundred k - I do have a lot of experience with gas & especially the VS so pm me if you want any problems sorted cheers

Yup - its gearbox out & overhaul time

I have a vs / trans in a Hilux ute - I gave up on getting fuel economy from the std oxygen sensors on petrol - did all the earth fixes etc - I run it on LPG & tune it with a Lambda meter - for some reason the oxygen sensors read lean when its still rich - result poor fuel economy. I don't know...

$690 may be a bit high for the engine - but you don't know the circumstances - the mechanic might have two lots of freight on top of that (they sometimes want the old motor back) & prices go up & down with demand & availability - that leaves $500 to remove & refit the engine which is pretty...

So what have you done about ignition timing ? Mine (VS) was a pig until I got a dual map memcal ..to increase timing on LPG

Yes 2.0L - its a 1RZ engine - they only came out in the Workmates - not many produced

The only advantage of going vapour over a Blos is that you dont have lpg in the manifold - so backfires are much less a problem- not worth it unless you can go with Liquid injection as that will increase HP as well as give you no back fires - its also complicated system & you cant play with them...

The supplier had some issues recently - I emailed him about that - if you search for mixers - pretty much everything on there is from the same person - so send him a message & ask when they will be available again. Impco are the next best thing but do have some restriction - but to fit this the...

I would be checking for vacuum leak - mine was like that - there is a line under the throttle body which goes to a valve controlled by the computer & then draws form the carbon cannister - the valve could be crook if the lines are not off - otherwise go around the manifolds with soapy water & if...

They crack heads between the valve seats - its very common

First thing to do is get it running properly on LPG & I would start with a Blos mixer off Ebay - this will give the gas the correct draw right across the rev range - which will make it easier to start & it will rev right out as it removes the restriction of the gas ring - if you have that type...

What sort of LPG system do you have -if you dont know post some pics

If you change anything on the intake which changes restrictions in any way it can lean out the mixtures - so you will need a tune on the LPG to compensate

I tried the Bosch race ones & they where crap - Repco leads are great for a general ignition lead - I had a workshop & sold them for years without any problems at all- resistance is probably a bit high.

I tried aftermarket but had too many problems - bought oem & never looked back no difference in price really

I was reading on the Pulstar site that they couldn't do it up until now according to Pulstar as they due to these issues - they didn't have anything that would stand up to the situation - with the Direct Hits the capacitors have been specially made for them out of new materials. Nology doesn't...

Hi - I have been giving your post considerable thought & done some research on the subject. The main thing is that you cant compare the Aqua Pulsar to conventional ignition system - they are using amps not volts & a much shorter spark period due to the use of capacitors - which is very...

Mate after my experience with the Pulstar Pulse plug over what I have now as std & especially considering that I use LPG - spark is everything & the more of it the better. When I was on the floor as a mechanic - I used to tune the old Nissan Pintara's they had a twin spark plug / ignition...

I know what your saying but - Cars are built to a price with standards & design emission rules in mind - they have always been lacking in some areas which is why we have such a strong aftermarket industry - if you asked yourself that every time you looked at something you wouldn't have anything...

Found another website with the same box but different distribution block prices bit different Blue Phoenix Ignition - Plasma Ignition for Racing

Got onto their Facebook site & then to their news blog - this was the Gist of it Our ardent fans and energy efficiency enthusiasts around the world will be glad to know that we’re finally back with a new line of products! Aquapulser was under a cloud where rogue factions of the company...

This is wild !! wondering if anyone has tried anything like this at all -any problems ?? Performance Ignition - Ignition Modules and Ignition Systems

I have another post here with the ultimate LPG system - have a look there much better than Impco. I use #1 an Airod convertor - #2 Airod variable mixer - you probably wont be able to get one of these - Blos off Ebay is available & probably better.. #3 dual map Memcal for the computer - EST...

Just wanted to let everyone know that these fuel economy figures posted previously are with a couple of added extras - #1 I use the Pulstar plugs - which improve fuel economy / power & drive ability. #2 I use an air ram / scoop (PVC pipe) incorporated into my bumper bar (with a std air filter)...

The following link will give you all the info that you could need - I use a 10w 40 synthetic oil - the first number gives you the rating when cold & the lower the number the lower the viscosity & the better the protection on a cold start - I have a Hilux with a 2.0 L engine & I used to run a...

As for the Dual Map Memcal, I bought it off Pro Gas in Brisbane - I am pretty sure that the following link gives all their details Pro Gas (QLD) Pty Ltd - Carburettors & Fuel Pumps-Equipment & Service - East Brisbane, QLD - Yellow Pages®

That converter would be ok I think - but I prefer Airod as mixtures seem to always stay the same no matter what. I will give you an indication of the power - with the Dual map Memcal & Airod variable mixer - the VS v6 motor / auto that I have, is fitted to a 93 Hilux Dual cab. ( I don't know...

Just be warned about buying a Memcal - the link I provided in an above post for Apexus - gives you the details on which computer you need to be able to run the dual map Memcal - if you dont have the right part number you will have to buy another computer with the right ones. Also Without the...

I have been looking at Gas research & its just the same as a ring mixer though it has a lot of adjustments for idle / progression ports & full power - it is restrictive as well & has all the same problems as a std ring mixer as far as I am concerned. Though to be fair it is far more advanced...
