Power Fc Tech Question

[Cubes]

Maybe he's a v8 head and have NFI what sort of power these pieces of jap crap make...

By all means 250fwkw is perfectly fine for a slightly modified RB20 and only just rb25det.

440cfm aint a great deal, its definitely not rwkw, its flywheel kw.

Do a little research in to airflow and its power correlation, do your self a favour and don't trust other people to make the correct decision for you.

People are stupid. Do some research yourself, ask around.

My friend had a vortech s/charger fitted to his built V6 rodeo engine a few years ago. It had a factory duel fuel setup and he wanted to keep it. It was obvious the factorys setup was going to be very restrictive so the only option was a gas research throttlebody/carby setup.

I cant remember exactly, but I "think" the gas research item had to have another "gas injector" plumbed in to stage the gas insertion or it already had two and they were increased in size.

The result? About 270rwkw from memory and within a handful of kws from the petrol tune.

Between the gas and petrol though they were two diferent cars. After the tuner begging for mercy it was canned a week later. There was just no way to make the car behave remotely the same as petrol. If he got it to make the power numbers it was just a pig to start,idle and drive, and on the flip side if drivability was acceptable it had no torque and wouldnt make anywhere near the power. He wasnt interested in a compromise hence it was removed.

This was about 3 years ago, so the latest hardware (if its even changed) and your tuner might be able to acheive an acceptable result. Just thought I would add someones experience.

well they installer said its all the good stuff, and i wont be needing twin carbys... its only more money in his pocket so why would he downsell to me?

ill let you all know when i get in installed

Four reasons I can think of;

1. He doesn't know

2. He wants to "get you in the door" with a low quote

3. Once you have started you won't want to stop and so you are going to be spending a lot of money with him.

4. All of the above

cheers

when i got the quote i asked whether or not ill need twin carbys...

gas research sell VL turbo kits for $1100...

all the people who are getting ripped at $3500 quotes should look arround as the performance kits are all the same...

anyways, ill let everyone know the power figure with a dyno sheet in a couple of weeks

Are you planning on it being dual fuel or a straight gas setup?

If possible, get a power/torque chart done on fuel before you do the conversion and then plot the finished result over the top so we can see the differences.
