it does feel a bit restrictive i think, feels a bit empty in power from about 4000rpm to redline. i bought the car like it is so i dont really know much about the setup, learning as i go

i put a model L impco on, same as was already on there, i think my coils or leads mabey shot as it builds revs slow on gas and on petrol i think it misses from idle to about 2000rpm, like a flat spot.
once i put the new gear on it should be alot better, but otherwise it runs really good |

i got my converter real cheap, was cheaper to put a new one on than buy a service kit for my other one, so ive got another L that needs cleaning and il keep it as spare.
i havnt looked to much into us ebay as im not sure what leads will fit my car, i dont want to have to pull them apart and stuff. il have a look at coils though. when i get some money im getting my car dyno tuned on gas for $100 to get the mixtures right, im only getting 270-300 from 58L. so it should run alot better after that |

well i had my gas tuned yesterday and drives so much better i can hardly tell the difference between petrol and gas, power curves look good to i was told, Car make 137RWKW on petrol and 136RWKW on LPG, bit down for a V8 but my AU XR6 had 139RWKW with all the exhaust and intake but the 8 is stock auto
Quite inpressed with the tuning! |

Nice, how much did it set you back? Are there any risks when pushing LPG, like more chance of backfires etc?

took it to Auto Gas connection in Carrum downs, dont think the car was tuned at all while on gas but is so much better to drive now. Dyno tune is $120 and they needed it for about an hour and a half.
He said the car will be the same reliability as petrol if its well maintained, good quality leads, propper plugs and gaps etc and will have 0 problems in the future |

oh ok, didnt realise that. Hopefully mine is ok for a while, 3 yrs old now and seems to flow fine.
This is the dyno chart: Im getting the 3 exhaust leaks and the squashed pipe fix this week, might be why its a tad low on petrol You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post. |

yeah im quite suprised how well the V8 goes on LPG, beats dads BA wagon to 100kmh by a car length or so on LPG now, when it was untuned it was 1 car length slower. and costs $30 a week to run

Does the AU III v8 require the more expensive vapour injection or can it handle the older type?

The cheap mixer system may be OK for a cheap car, but I intend to hang onto my V8 ute for some time so I am getting the SVI system. I am also getting a 145litre tank!
