Term, I've found out that my Stagea goes through the petrol with short trips and city driving.  But on the highway it's fine.

I think it's cause of the auto box and short trips when cold (cold = rich).

I wonder if you could put gas on one of these..  lol

Don't even joke about gas, i hate that stuff so much.

does gas work with turbo's? because i know the emmissions are different, and turbo's run on emmissions. a lot more water comes out of a car running on gas i think.

lol, I couldn't go gas on the Stagea. Nowhereto put the gas bottle anyway...

The old man has got gas on his VS commo. 440km's costs him about $20 !!! 440km's for us is about $65 :rofl:

I've seen a few turbo cars with gas but I'm not sure if it's the same setup as a N/A car. But to get the most out of it you'd probably need to tune it just for gas and not dual fuel..

There are plenty of cars out there that are turbo and gas.

The same principle for fuel works with gas, the more boost you run the more fuel, but in this case would be gas.

To get more gas you just add an extra mixer.

I checked the other day, and put around 45 - 50 L in after 300 or so kms of driving if I take it easy (city). So, its pretty poor but I love it. :rofl:

On the open road its tons TONS better, I can get to Sydney from here on a tank easy (500 + kms)

I thought "dedicated" gas systems could make great power, cost the same (if not more) as you use more gas but the higher octane rating actually helps.

Yeah they do still get good power out of them, but there has always been the difference in power (only slight).

yea i read a car in zoom that was pushing big power i think it was a gas powered datto was some good power too.

Dont get me wrong, you can still make great power from gas. I know of quite a few cars that have gas and have big power.

But if it were better then fuel, then i would think that the guys that go for big hosrepower, like at the summer nats would all have gas on there cars.

I have lots of parts my self just from wrecking cars, but dont have a grill.

Check www.ausrotary.com for parts. The guys on there have heaps of stuff.

There hasnt been many RX3 grills for sale lately, but keep looking, you may find one.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
