and they lose power, i got 2 mates with the sam VR commonwhores, 1 on GAS, other on Petrol. You can tell easy that the petrol one pulls harder...

VL owners do it so that they do not spend more money than their car is worth on petrol...

it does have a higher octane rating, from memory its like 105. but the way gas is setup etc it prevents the engine from taking advantage of the 105 rating.

Well thats my point. The car is tuned to run gas and nothing alse so it gests the max out of the gas.

So i guess no one with a skyline has done it yet.

The new gas injectors that have just been invented by an Aussie company will revolutionise the way we think of L.P.G.. The "gas injector" will fit into a standard fuel rail and totally do away with the power robbing gas mixers of the past. This will allow the full potential of the gas to be unlocked allowing gas to be used in high horsepower applications.

Dont believe it....here's a link!

there is a bit of difference between the gas systems that  Always_me and spliff are talking about to the system that DIRTgarage is talking about..

have a read of the website its totaly different system

They are refering to the old school way...which has its limitations....the new way will certainly be a lot more effieient and power productive. I am in contact with the development team regarding a high performance application for a drag car...I will keep you informed.

Gas injection sounds like good stuff! That Bill cambell has a reason to be smiling id say. Only down sides from running gas i can see are very small like the loss of intake air cooling effect from injecting petrol and the loss of added upper cylinder and valve lubrication

Are there any others??

so what is wrong with the way gas is added currently? why isnt it as power effective as petrol?

maybe down the track when we are looking for those bigger injectors spend a little more and go the gas...

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
