Hey guys, on the look out for a few good shops to get gas setup on a vl, soon to be turbo. Or should i stay away from gas when turboing? its cleaner and higher octance, nto to mention cheaper, so it cant be all bad.

its fine for turbo cars and you'll need to ask around depending on whos tuning your car. Do u want the same workshop to install the gas setup and do the tuning?

Also if your running gas I recommend using flash lube. Saves drying out your vavles & seals/seats.

They would have to tune it initially anyway wouldn't they for it to run fine? Then you can take it else where right? ---------- Post added 17-03-10 at 14:30 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by HTURBO [View Post] Also if your running gas I recommend using flash lube.

yeah ive never run flash lube in any of my gas cars and they never see petrol - never had a problem. really only need to worry about pre unleaded cars

ok back on topic; Anyone can recommend any shops?

JPC have also apparently been doing a bit of gas tuning havent they? rapid flow seem to know their **** too. swift has been pretty touch and go from all the reports i've heard. and pretty sure jason would be booked out like nothing else lol plenty of options these days, pretty sure even blownba on these forums will do gas research n ****, but hes a busy busy man!

Have you thought about straight gas. I had a friend with a VH sle 355 stroker on straight gas & gas heads. Man did this thing go!!! Gas has a higher octane than petrol doesn't it?

yes but it isnt quite that simple, the gas vapour doesnt atomise like petrol does so it doesnt remove as much heat from the intake charge or act the same way as a high octane petrol.

Yeah I understand. My friends VH has twin throttle body's as well. This thing looked mean also had a blue pearl paint job.

so if i go strait gas i should get a new 'gas head'? This a modafied head of the rb30? They would supply it obviously right?

Speak to Ben D Annello . Theyll let u know exactly wat u need.

Gas - speak to Jason!
