Hey Just brought a VR V6 on gas, and my theroy is that the only things that run on Gas are Forklifts and Falcons and maybe v8's if done right.
i am yet to be sweyed.
iv noticed it has the airbox running into the mixer then though a Coke can to the throttle body. when i quizzed the owner he told me it was so if it backfires it will blow the can apart and not the mixer.. sounds fair to me any comments will be appreciated.
Secondly the mixer seems to me as if its a Huge intake restriction and is probably causeing more bad than good as i know the buick loves to breathe. BASICLY all i want to put out there has anyone come up with some way of discarding the mixer and maybe just pipeing the gas straight from the converter into the throttle body or made some attachment up that could act the same with less restriction??
i am contemplating taking the gas off the car full stop and just running pure juice as i think the economy of a v6 is pretty good (especially with a foaming tune)
But afterall its my missus's car and not mine and im sure she isnt going to care if it is at a loss of KW due to the gas or any part there of restrictions.
also engine life issues with gas being on it it seems to run ok but takes a bit or starting on gas... not sure if it has the Fuel start then switch to gas when warm or what i will investigate this tomorrow.. but i'd love to hear from both sides of the gas on a buick story and make my mind up..
Cheers
