Hi,
After seeing a Turbo XE run a 9 with an AU motor, im gonna convert to gas and P!SS this petrol crap off. Ok, heres what i THINK i need, let me know if i am missing something. 1 tank 2 lpg converters (which brands will flow 300rwkw together?) 1 gas research throttle body 440cfm 2 high-flow lock off valves gas filler and flexable gas line. PRICES??? What else will i need? How will i go about the wiring? Can i simply use an output from a wolf3d to run/prime the gas? Also, how do i go about isc? i see the gra TB doesnt have a slot for it? Injectors and Fuel pump may be for sale soon. Cheers.

Yeh i was hoping to use the wolf for the ignition tuning, along with its temperature adjustments which are necessary up here in brissy.
I would like to keep coil pack too? How efficient would that set up be? Would the ratios be accurate?

ISC gets tapped in from under the t/b.
you're looking at about $3k for that stuff installed.

also, if goin straight gas, make sure that you have a set-up for one of those little "valve saver" fluid bottles. help keep your engine alive.

I just got an e-mail from Gas Research about straight gas turbo. They told me to look at their Technical Resource section on turbocharging with their products.
Click here and then click Technical Support up the top of the page. As long as its a draw through application, according to them its OK, blow through they won't put their names to the product.
