ssv v8 on gas

[neobristol]

Has anyone put the new v8 on gas? and if so any problems?

Gee why would you want to put a V8 on gas , that defeats the purpose of having a V8 . the VE V8s are pretty good on fuel anyway ,it would be signifiant cost above the price of the car. to convert , once converted to gas provided that it is trouble free. it would take a lot of miles to recoup the initial outlay eventually you would start to save money but would you still have the car or you converted it for someone else to beneifit, so why did you buy a V8 ,they have higher running cost rego insurance tyres, services etc there are sixes on gas from the factory

i was under the impression that the new LiLPG is better than PULP, people were saying that it opened up an extra 20kw on the v8s

a holden dealer recommended me never to putmy VE SS on gas...he said it would cause all sorts of problems...i'm still not sure why as i am still looking into it

Goggle the gas injection..

theyre seeing great results on the systems..


gas has an octane of over 100 thus the extra power

I have done a heap of VE V8's incl. the 6.2L all with JTG liquid injection.
Results are astounding to say the least.
The best part is combustion temps are on par with petrol when you inject LPG as a freezing liquid.
So engine longevity is increased.
I hide all the components too so when you pop the bonnet you can't see a thing.
More power than premium unleaded at a $1 less a litre.
Gee hard choice for me.

Here's a pic of a calais. Its a stocker and fitted the way it comes out of the box (ie. not hidden)
Once the engine cover goes back on it looks pretty bloody good too.
This is a pic with the cover removed.

I know a bloke with a 6ltr (vz) on JTG liquid lpg and he is rapt with it. Has had zero issues and goes harder on gas than 98 pulp.
Cheers
