mate that fully sucks *&%@ sorry to hear that but i guess thay just want ya all to use more petrol

The LPG turbo project is not looking good after all. I just got off the phone with a guy who does conversions. Apparently the EPA requires all conversions to be done with a certified "kit." Of course being the only person in the country who wants to convert a Datsun 1200 to propane, makes it rather unlikely that there is a "kit" out there. Oh, sure, I could do it and pay $10,000 to get it certified, but at that point I could have bought ten fuel injection computers.
I'm so mad I can't see straight!

vb my friend is the only beer

Oh Yeah.
Thanks BA Bob for changing your avatar. I have some good pics of beers from the many pissups I've had over the years.
I'll post you my favourite beer pic.

Chris

yeah ya can prety much put a mixer anywhere in the inlet tract and yeah the metering is done by the converter and most have ajustment on them useing a screw like a carb the multy point thing is very posable if u need one or more mixers like the the pic of the v8 range rover with twin carbs theres a hose from the converter to a y junction with a screw ajuster and it forks off to the gas rings in the inlet of each carb only problem with the range rover setup is the hose from the mixer to the carbs is too long this makes the engine very slugish off idle but very smooth so short hose is the go for performance u can also use 2 converters if u are useing big arse engines like big blocks... for info on more up to date lpg and vonverting fuel injected cars to lpg check out http://www.gasresearch.com.au/ i will get the pics of the turbo lpg conversions when i get to my mates place..... glad yall like me new avatar maybe i should just take a pic of the beer with out the wheel lol

Yeah his avatar sums him up perfectly too!
A man spends hours polishing wheels!
but needs to drink as all the hard work is pointless if he doesn't get some wheel nuts!
lol!

But seriously the wheels sre coming up good Bob!

I'd just like to give props to BA Bob for the new avatar... Alot less scarey....

I just found the photo essay on LPG. Looks like you really know your gas. I was intrigued with that dual fuel setup for the Weber carb.
It looks to me like all of the work of metering the amount of gas is done in the regulator. Is that the case? If so, I could put the nozzle pretty much anywhere I wanted in the intake tract, correct? Could it theoretically be split between four nozzles and made multipoint? Or is that more work than is necessary?
Also, couldn't the cooling effect of the liquid to gas conversion be harnessed as an intercooler? I'm thinking box the converter in the path of the air or circulate coolant through it and an air to water intercooler. With that you could have an intercooler with greater than 100% efficiency! Or am I reinventing the wheel here?
I'm very intrigued by this idea!

ok posted some pics in the misc secvtion i havent got ant turbo/blown setups yet for that i will look in some mags and scan some all but one converter shown is posative presure the converter on the ford falcon is negative presure meaning it needs vacum to work but can be made positive presure to suit a turbo/blower aplication hope this is of some use there will be more pics of turbo lpg setups when i can get em

1200rallycar prety much nailed but u use the gas ring or (dohnut)? when useing a carby with duel fuel but the best economy and performance is produced with straight gas in a turbo set up best way to go is use a throttle body with a donut or a mixer on that. the lpg come from the tank as a liuqid? (this thing got a spell checker?) and passes throu a converter witch is plumbed in to the cooling system as the gas is very cold when it turns from luqid to gas and needs the hot water/coolant (im too lazy for coolant) to keep the converter from turning to a block of ice i will try and get some pics of some set ups on my way to the pub this morning any more questions i will do my best to answer and remember lpg is your friend irs 112 octain there abouts and is enviro friendly :) as for the avatar i cant help it if im a sexy beast of a man lol im thinkin of chaingin it
