I heard the rumour Matty... Looks like he's on the way to more power too, interesting times

[Matty 31]

oh yeah

im investigating instant power for my 4wd too

http://www.dieselgasaustralia.com.au

"This Diesel/Gas system will increase power and torque by up to 20% (sometimes more). This power increase is due not only to the increased combustion efficiency, but also the LPG itself produces power as it burns. So even the most economical gas map and driving technique will produce some additional power. A more powerful setting can still produce better economy than running on straight diesel."

"The power and torque increase applies over the whole rev range. Turbo lag is all but eliminated, and engine noise and vibration is dramatically reduced all the way through to maximum revs. The driver will notice fewer gear changes and higher average speeds, particularly on hills and when towing"

and for an equivalent for what i should expect

2002 Nissan Patrol GU Coil Cab

TD42T – 4.2l 6Cyl turbo diesel

5 Speed Manual

80,000km when fitted

Average fuel consumption 15l/100km

Standard Power: (red line)

96.6hp @ 3200rpm

840lbft @ 2600rpm

DieselGas Power (green line):

141.5hp @ 2750rpm (+46%)

1295lbft @ 2040rpm (+54%)

so, turbo people, looking at getting a new turbo for the s14, as the stocker is one its way out. not thinking anything massive, got it down to a garrett GT28R or GT28RS, just wondering if anyone here has any experience with them? ill probably end up browsing the forced induction forum soon, just seeing if theres anyone here whos used either first.

do it matty i wanted to put the skyline on gas but couldn't fit a donut tank in the boot LPG = higher octane than fuel

only problem with gas as i know is that it just doesnt have density and it requires some special injector to force the gas into each cylinder when its under boost.... my r31 had the simple setup, where as the gas is diffused into the air pipe before the plenum, but they aren't sufficient for turbos (and the fact that the lpg burns at a higher temp which could be an issue for some turbos)

i think theres a guy on the forums (with a 32 gtr) who had 2 fuel rails with 2 seperate sets of injectors, one for lpg and one for unleaded.

Well depends on what your really after Dave.

I have heard of people putting R34 stock turbo on and having a decent power increase by that.

GT2871R isnt a bad option either as i think thats what Dale is running in his 180 and is making quiet nice power.

So really what you want is to find out the maximum for your other parts ie. injectors, afm and etc

and then go with a turbo that wont be maxing those components out otherwise you might as well spend a lot of $$ and get everything done....ie injectors, afm, fmic, coil packs, ecu tuning etc

Hope this helps Dave

[scandyflick]

cheers krish, completely forgot about dale. shall have to have a chat with him. 34 turbo sounds interesting, thinking lag could be an issue with the missing 500cc though. just looking for nice streetable power, somewhere around the 150-160rwkw mark.

Then for that Dave i would say go with a RB turbo

from what i have heard it reduces lag on a RB20 so it shouldnt be laggy on a SR20 me thinks

good luck with whatever you do mate

[scandyflick]

cheers mate, will start looking into the 34 turbos.

[Krishy]

I think one of my mates chucked a R34 turbo on his RB20 and made something like 180rwkw with fmic, fuel pump, pod and 14psi of boost

so wont suprise me Dave if you make a significant gain from that mate

Has Rego gone up in price?

Last year I was only paying $149 for 3months and now its $184....

[scandyflick]

i think you may have just answered your own question...

never really paid attention to what my rego cost, i just covered my eyes and emptied my wallet. v8 rego sucked.

[typevu]

Yeap.

[ontheranch]

Agh thats so not cool.

The roads in Gawler are shocking. I should get discount dammit!

[Krishy]

lol they should fix the god damn roads

some of the roads around adelaide is absolute shocking

ohh and penny if you pay yearly rego you save something like $100-$150

IMHO thats a lot of money to be saved on rego

well at least thats another months worth of insurance for me really

[ontheranch]

Yeah I have decided that next time round I will do it for 12 months.

Its just crazy that we have to pay so much just to have a car on the road.

IMO push bikes should have to pay, they use the road too!! not to mention being a major traffic hazard at times.

I should be posting in the what really pisses you off thread huh.

[Krishy]

yep that would be your best bet penny

vent out some of that anger

[typevu]

If I had to pay rego for a pushbike I'd be expecting to have the whole lane to myself

Why not make people pay for rego... they walk on the footpath.

[mid life crisis]

lol yrs ago we used to get country rego rates in gawler till the bastarts moved the boundry further out the gawler river used to be the old boundry
