Re: LPG
It could be the injectors that you've heard are dodgy, i dunno.

Re: LPG
Apparantly you need a pretty good spark for LPG. I was thinking sequential ignition with 4 coil packs would do the job. Either COP type coils or something like EA or LS1.

Re: LPG
PS. Are you coming for a drive next weekend? (Sunday 31st)
Now improved the way Ford should have built it with a 4speed automatic.
Also with 3.45 LSD for added goodness.
If you are hitting your head up against a wall it always feels better when you stop.
Re: LPG
I heard from one LPG tuner that you have to bring the advance in sooner as well as changes for the octane rating.
Have a look at Keihin injectors for LPG. Some of them get re-badged when they come into the country.
There was a company in Melbourne working on a liquid injection system for LPG but it required a different tank, pump, return line and regulator as well as the injectors. They have been promising a commercial product for a few years but nothing has come out yet.
Also be aware that most of the LPG injection systems require full sequential injection.

Re: LPG
Will be runnning MS for ignition though. The plan is for a sequential COP setup using Suzuki GSXR coils.

Re: LPG
I've been getting bits together for a while now for a "play" engine. Suzuki Swift GTi bottom end and a 16v SOHC head, i'm not using the GTi head as the ports are smaller. I was going to put it on EFI with a set of bike throttles but decided i'd give LPG a go. The plan is to twincharge it, i've got a Eaton M45 blower (positive displacement rootes type) as well as a turbo off a RB25 Nissan engine. I'm going to use the MS for ignition and datalogging. This is to go into the Sierrawagon wrote:^^^Looks the goods, mate. What is this going on?
I was a little worried about having it off the road for so long while I muck around with the engine, so I bought a spare chassis and copped it in half behind the transmission crossmember. Now I can assemble the whole engine and gearbox and mount it up and get it all running before I do the swap.
