Re: a14 turbo engine bay Looks nice! I'd like to see more photos, maybe some of the turbo and engine details. And maybe some close ups of the dash? Nice work.

Re: a14 turbo engine bay awesome wheres the specs on this setup?
if you really want some construtive suggestion, id say move the battery to the boot, change to an internal regulated alternator to get rid of the regulator (ea falcon alternator goes in pretty easy and well) and then put that spagetti stuff on the wires
basically in short, tidy up the wirring
not that id really be complaining, im looking forward to hearing about whats in there

Re: a14 turbo engine bay its under bonnet heat and sound barrier it just comes in a roll about 1m x 1.5m and i just got it from repco and cut it to the size i needed it just sticks straight on
the engine is an a14 with a to3 turbo , been bored out and has forged pistons and runs on straight lpg (new gas research)
if there is anything else u want to know let me know
thanks

Re: a14 turbo engine bay straight LPG - that's a great idea! higher RON, cooling properties of expanding gas.
tell us more about the setup - by the looks of the plumbing it seems to be intercooled too or does that just go to the lpg mixer up front there?
It's got me interested because I've recently got hold of a turbo setup for an A series with a T3 - how do you find it with regard to lag? what rpm does it start to boost in 1st and 2nd gears?

Re: a14 turbo engine bay I have been giving lpg a lot of thought since first seeing this pic. If yours is intercooled, do you have fuel charge passing through the intercooler? My understanding was that although it's a gas, lpg will still pool/lay in a low spot. Potentially making your intercooler a bomb.
Something else that might be a good idea, (If you haven't done this already) would be to plumb the water heating from the converter, so that it goes to the turbo. This would be a neat way to lower the turbo temp, and score some free power.
Good looking set up dude.
