hey all
has anyone had any experience scavenging a series motors from forklifts?

did a search and jus got a j15 engine swap thread

we got one in the yard at work that i can grab, its an a15 and as the thread title indicates its on gas.
This should just be a normal a15 engine yes???
Or will it not rev as high etc
if anyone has any info it wud be great

me thinks turbo lpg for stinky speed!!!!
cheers, jonno

a turbo lpg motor sounds like a mad idea, imagine telling people that they got beaten by a forklift :P

cam in the lpg a15 is rubbish as maxs out at 4500 rpm, max torque at 1500rpm or something i think from memory or 2500.
Even a sunny cam would run out to 5500 or so.

As the a15 lpg boy here, i say that they love the rev range higher up with lpg.

yeh lol it does have a def appeal
go the forklift!!!!
... ... ... : ...

Yeah I thought that they would have some kind of rev limitation built in somewhere.
thanks man!!

so what sort of cam would you say is optimal for a balance betwen top end speed and strong acceleration N/A??

and If its a turbo setup?

Apologies... there is plenty of info about forklift lpg turbo setups if u look

i guess its better to ditch the engine and use the lpg system with an a12 i've got sitting here.

So I read that lpg turbos are easy to make, as the carby is already airboxed, as a cheapskate i dont think i can resist!!

If anyone can point me to any good threads it'd be a great start
