Ever Thought About Lpg Liquid Injecting Your Rb25/26det ?

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,

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

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.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
