Z24O Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 hi, wondering if anyone has used this fuel(gaseous) for a performance V8 turbo application............it's popular here in australia for a cheaper fuel..........unleaded petrol/94 octane/US$4 a gallon versus LPG/110+ octane/US$2 per gallon.............but has a few advantages as i see it for HP turbo applications eg more octane=higher compression=higher off boost performance=less knock/more advance on boost gaseous already so no need for a big $ fuel(liquid) system capable of flowing 600HP no need for full engine management system as no injectors(probably get away with a stand alone ignition retard unit....simple)...another big dollar/headache saver cheaper to run ie less than 1/2 price single point of entry fuel delivery in blow thru application(already under pressure when "injected") anyone see any disadvantages(other than running out of fuel in a propane only application!!) paul western australia 240Z 302 windsor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zgeezer Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Yes, it has been and it is more common than you might think. Look at this: http://www.truckworld.com/4x4-OffRoad/96-1957TurboWillys/1957TurboWillys.html Do google search on Ak Miller Propane. g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
