i wanna buy a set of extractors thinking of 4495 but not sure with the converter in the way has any one done it before and dose it fit

It's not worth the time and money to fit them.

any more details ?

The egas is pretty much the god of slow. While it's trying to pull air through a 40mm restriction in the intake, it's a waste of time trying to improve the exhaust system.

Save the money, sell the egas buy a regular falcon and put a vapor injection system on it.
Even completely stock it will be faster then a modified egas car.

I'll beg to differ a bit here.....the egas engine is still a BF Barra engine, and as such, can be modified to get LOTS of horsepower, infact, as a bonus, it already has higher compression and the same pistons and rods as an F6 Typhoon. BUT the egas system itself is very restrictive. As mentioned, a vapour injection system would be good, better still would be liquid gas injection, but even a basic converter/mixer setup that is well sorted could be better. an Impco Model L converter and a 225 Mixer would probably be a good place to start. The converter can be mounted somewhere else in the engine bay to allow room for the extractors too. Infact I beleve there's no reason you couldnt add a Turbo if you did some reaseach and thought about it carefully, I'm sure a flash tune would handle the computer side of things, but there may be a bit too much compression so you might have to run low boost.

Just my 2c,

i was told that extractors would add a bit of power but they are not sure if they would fit with the converter it has cams in it so they said to get extractors i just wanna no if i have to move the converter a bit or not

The short answer is no.

It's just not posible to upgrade an egas to SVI.
And impco 225 is still no better in terms of flow then a good 43mm venturi mixer. It's just that at lower airflow the impco stuff becomes smaller to provide good signal strenth.

Then due the need for vehicles built 2004 on tobe fitted with an emissions certified kit and there are currently not certified kits to 'upgrade' the Egas your hand are pretty well tied.

No mater what you do with an Egas motor it will always be strangled by the mixer and will never make the same power dollar for dollar or mod for mod as the petrol version.

How much money to you think it will cost to gain back the 30kw that the egas is lacking behind the petrol falcon?
Now go spend that fitting SVI to a petrol falcon and you'll have smoother power, better economy, basically an all round nicer car to drive.

Hence if you have an egas car and want to go faster and you have the money to waste on mods, it's a far smarter idea to sell it and buy a regular falcon and fit SVI.

SVI systems don't have a stand alone ECU, they simply look at the petrol injector pules and use that to work out the needed LPG injector pules. You need a fully functioning petrol system for SVI to work.




The thing with early gas systems be it impco/GRA/or any of the mixer ring systems, is they all still need the 'venturi effect' to operate. You can't just keep making the mixers bigger as it creates problems with low engine speed/low throttle % operation. You can't get a strong enough low speed 'signal' from a mixer that isn't restrictive at higher RPM.



You probably could, but the point is unless it is a certified kit you can't do it, and no supplier is going to waste money on getting a kit certified for use on a factory LPG car.


See above answer about mixer size. But basically IF a larger mixer could be used it would already be there.


Again strangled the mixer.

So basically what you are saying is, anything is possible, it's just a cost vs benifet thing?

Anything is possible guys just depends on how much much time and money you want to throw at it and in my case...lots!!! ahahaha.



Those extractors are the pacemaker 4490`s not sure about the 4495.



Its currently at autotech being tuned for the 1000hp supercharger bolted to the side of it.

for the supercharge did u have to change the converter and whats else have you do to it

The top pic he was still using a mixer ring setup,
The other with the supercharger it has a injected lpg kit on it.

How much power did it make in the top pics form ?
and obviously when tuned would like to know the charger setup as well.

W2A inter cooler as well... how much boost you running?

The vialle converter was replaced with two svi converters....a haltech ecu was piggybacked to the egas ecu two run the 12 svi injectors.

The top picture had between 160-170rwkw,it had everything you see plus stage two crow cams.

So the vialle converter can support some power,but dosent work with boost.

It had a raptor supercharger on it previously and made 236rwkw @8psi on autotechs dyno

The f1d procharger is a custom setup i desighned and fabricated the bracket myself.
