i've decided to sell my gas research setup out of my car, its a big dollar setup and no expense has been spared! it consists of, 1x APA 80L Tank with Brackets, and also gas line to lpg cap with excess flow valve removed. 2x B2 Convertors, with twin flexable gas line with brackets to mount to underbody. 1x Gas Research Throttle Body 440cfm 2x AMR High-Flow Lock off Valves and also 2x AMR High-Flow Emergency Lock-Offs 2x Gas Filler lines 1x Gas Solenoid with wires for lock-offs *will not separate I'm after $1200 for the lot. Also have a water/meth injection setup that I will sell separate for $200. It is a complete setup, it comes with every little nut,bolt,bracket,hose,line you name it, ready to fit. reason for sale is i�ve now got a daily driver so I�ve decided to go petrol to get the most out of my engine. pic's aint the best, but better then nothing. Cheers! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Seriously seriously interested, but seriously require some better pics of the gear, apart from the tank. What's the test date of the tank? I'm assuming it was an in boot install. Can you Post or PM me what suburb you are in so I can research my freight options before committing to buy.

that much power with only one 440cfm throttlebody? from memoery, Paul has 2 mixers, which is what I would have thought you'd need for a 10 sec car. I agree with Sinister, this GRA gear is the sh!t, I had a twin throttlebody setup (1000cfm) on my mild small block Statesman and it certainly went hard, 300 fwkw with reletively low compression. The great things about LPG is that it can handle more compression the PULP, is clean and cheap, no need for fuel pumps and you can piss off your polution crap!

yep just 1 throttle body on pauls car, for a N/A v8 its alot different because you dont have the turbo to make the power.
