ive driven a few vl turbos with gra and yet some have twin throttles, others dont , latest one i drove was 381kw atw and thier was no lag you speak of depends on the tuner,

cheers.

the tuners have been thier recomended specialist here in melb....

im a fan of gas research... im running it on my daily atm. 253 V8 ute. Twin throttle....

I love it when u open up both throttle bodies!!

and hear the roar of twin exhaust out the side going!!

haha...

Fun to drive around and not so bad on the pocket!!

the octane has dropped a bit over the years but its still 100-105 im sure, so mines tuned hard for ultimate 98 soo its not that far off on the lpg.

the problem with high HP and LPG is that you struggle to flow the gas out of the tank unless you run no gas lock offs or modified 1's both of whichis highly illeagle and bad when you catch fire

I have a mate that works in the Gas industry.. He swares the injectors are the way of the future. That said, he has only fitted a few because of their price! Has was also concerned about getting good HP for good $$$.

I have another idea, what does the whole kit weigh? tanks and converters and crap?

sure it may be cheaper to run, but unless it is a very well implimented system, you are gonna battle with it, and then resale?

worth the savings?

Butchered car otherwise.. :happy:

I personally cant believe the number of stupid comments inn this thread. Gas research was fine in the 90's as that was all that was available, and it was being fitted to carby cars. Its like saying you could make more power on a gts-t by running a blow through holley,and a dissy, might be true, but the loss of drivability would easily offset the power.

LPG injection has come a long way in the past few years, and the price has dropped significantly. There are a few good systems coming out now, which mean you can have the best of both worlds. Maybe not suited to 800hp gtr's, but 400hp gtst's and stagea's are now becoming a practical cheap means of a daily driver.

like im sure many of us i drive my gtr to work for a bit of fun but with petrol its getting outs control lol

anyone thought of putting lpg on thier gtr?

i think gas research would be the only way to go due to the injection not beeing able to keep up with the power of gtrs.

previously i converted a 180sx with a ca18det (4 yrs ago ) and it produced 220kw atw, on gas research,

any thoughts?

how bout water???

Which shops developed these VL Turbo Commodores that you're referring to?

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
