Theres a new LPG system recently introduced to Australia, it's called Liquid Injection LPG where the LPG is directly injected into the intake manifold/plenum, replacing the old skool mixer system where previously gas was transfered into vapour form then straight to manifold, reducing engine power out put and consuming 25% more gas.

Apparently the new system is not only more efficient and hi-tech but according to some dyno result, it pumps out more power than petrol.

Have a read through this.

The system does not run a ECU, its only a ICU which means it only switches the gas injectors on and the petrol ones off. The gas injectors are run by the petrol computer purely. There is no separate tune. If you need a tune you flash your ECU like normal. So just think what can be gained with a proper tune.

The Terrritory donut tank is just a proposition at this stage. The brackets for donuts on Territories needs to be sorted.

The system is deceptively simple but complex in fitting correctly. I have only been around LPG for close to 15 years, and this , I would have to say, will revolutionise the industry totally.

I have been waiting for liquid injection to be released for a very long time now (years and years) and to have it so close to its release date is exciting ,to say the least, for me too.

So far it has lived up to my expectations and flown way above them. I really want to fit it to my own car also, that way I have a better feel for what it does and what claims I can make about economy and so forth first hand (it is being marketed with a 5% increase in economy over petrol) but who cares, its cheap AND..... IT GIVES YOU MORE POWER!!!! Who need to know more!!!!

As promised here are some pics.

Sorry.. where are you pulling $10,000+ from here??

and last time I checked, Ford Territory's were Australian.

There was another thread around here about Mark converting his GTR... yeah they look good - if you're able to buy a kit specifically for the skylines that would definitely be a juicy option.

If it is liquid injection its obviously in a thicker form (as well as full time injection cycles) resulting in more LPG being burnt - I wonder how much mileage you would get in relation to unleaded?

No, because it would be illegal. Unless you paid the $10,000+ to get the car emission tested. And it isn't in Australia yet.

Emission testing what?

LPG doesnt require it, it never has. NFI what your on about

Im pretty sure ford has a series with liquid lpg. My old man loves them and I believe his falcon has it (company car) not 100% sure but anyways yes its true, Gas is more powerful with liquid

Nah not liquid unfortunately, still the mixer system in the Fords I'm pretty sure. But the liquid system above seems very promising. Bring on the results on paper :O

Ford still use the mixer system, the injected lpg system hasnt been around as long but i reckon it would pretty much hold up fairly well, the LPG is a good fuel source but anythime you try run a duel fuel setup you will get a head ache ignition timing cam specs the whole lot have to be a little bit different for each so you end up with a compromise and neither fuel supply gets you running 100%

All cars that have been converted to gas have to comply with the ADR's for emissions. The companies that make the kits pay for all the R & D and have the cars emission tested. Then and only then can the kits be sold to the public. That's why all diesel cars converted to LPG are illegal. As none of the kits are ADR approved yet. So the workshops that fitted them are either having to remove them or have the cars emission tested, which is very expensive.

Wrong all cars pre 2004 dont need an emission test, only after 2004 do they need an adr compliant system, so yes you can convert your skyline and im in the process of doing it to my gtr using liquid injection,

  • 1 year later...

There is thread and threads on this stuff at Calais Turbo and the Ls1 forum alot of guys have been doing this to their 6lts and picking up a fair whack of KW's just from going to gas injection,

Ford still run mixers and you can get their EGAS falcon which is a straight gas mixer system with 2 tanks with a combined capacity of about 100lts. on trips i used to get around 550 - 600klms on that system, but would love to see what can be achieved with Liquid

Hi Guys,

Here is my r33 s2 gtst25 running JTG liquid injection for those interested. Runs great besides running a bit rough on a cold start until it warms up.

Cheers,

Nice one!!!

How much was the set up? Was it difficult to set up/tune?

Are you getting better fuel economy?

Cheers

Justin

Just wanna know two things.... is it a dedicated LiLPG system or is it dual fuel and if it IS a dedicated system, who did it?

Cheers.

    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
