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?

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
