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.

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
