I have a few questions on a gas research system for my VLT Does anyone know of any workshops in the eastern suburbs of melbourne specilizing in conversions? 1. What is the best thing to do with the ignition system? ie. what aftermarket system should I use. 2. Does the gov rebate still apply? 3. What is the best comp ratio to use? 4. Am I limitted to a maximum power figgure? 5. Can you get tanks to fit in the original fuel tank possition? 6. Can I remove the whole ecu and engine wiring loom with out affecting the dash cluster? any help would be great....

Does anyone know of any workshops in the eastern suburbs of melbourne specilizing in conversions? East side = Adicted performance 1. What is the best thing to do with the ignition system? ie. what aftermarket system should I use. up to 200-250kw standard ignition is fine, after you will need a CDI unit or ice setup so the spark wont blow out 2. Does the gov rebate still apply? i think its over now but not 100%, suss out some gov websites and if the rebate is still available it doesnt matter what sort of gas system u get (i.e. twin converters, lock offs etc ) you will get the rebate 3. What is the best comp ratio to use? Doesnt make a difference that your on LPG, depends if you want a snappy street car or a boost hungry race car (being on lpg i doubt it would be the latter) so standard comp ratio would be fine ud think or maybe a touch higher to be a bit snappier on the street 4. Am I limitted to a maximum power figgure? with twin converters, twin lines and twin lock offs id say around 400kw, as far as i no a vl hasnt been pushed over 380kw on LPG 5. Can you get tanks to fit in the original fuel tank possition? You can get donut tanks but not sure what the power restrictions are with them, otherwise a standard tank would fit but you would need a shield and your car cant be lowered, it would look sh1t anyway... ive seen it, trust me 6. Can I remove the whole ecu and engine wiring loom with out affecting the dash cluster? My motto is fcuk wiring, let someone else do it hope that helps Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

4. Am I limitted to a maximum power figgure? with twin converters, twin lines and twin lock offs id say around 400kw, as far as i no a vl hasnt been pushed over 380kw on LPG Which VL has pushed over 380rwkw? how much over are we talking? did it survive??? I've heard of a XR6 that makes over 500rwkw, 530rwkw to be correct with the gear you've discribed. There are others that will most defenantly push the envelope furthur

His saying he HASNT seen a vl push over 380. They can definately go well over 400 on that setup though.

Lol, you must be the most nieve and gullable person, if you think that a standard motor with cam, on pump fuel made 389rwkw on 28psi!! From what i heard, the car made over 400rwkw, but was on closer to 40psi rather than 28. Theres only so much a standard motor can take. If this is true however, this would make daniels car the most powerful lpg 6, with litres v power ratio!!! There was a reason why the car was 'detuned', but since youre such a genius and guru, maybe you could figure that out, because youre in 'the know'!

It's actually people like me who spend all there time and money on being a ginea pig and developing, playing with different combos and setups which get the correct results. Where as you and your buddies sit around on the forums all day writting **** and answering with bull**** responses. But yet you expect people like myself to help you get results(though PMs) with a horse **** dogs balls setup with no money spent on it. Enjoy your cruise with your mate in your avatar.

You sit all day in members daily thread, talking about how you go from workshop to workshop sponging information off everyone. You go from adicted, to jpc, to waiting for 'mr.j'. Why would anyone want to deal with you, considering youre unloyal nor want to spend money?? No wonder no one wanted to go on your cruise. It was just another excuse for you to sponge info of those in the know, who have spent $$. And as for saying it to your face, i have no problems...

piece of sh1t? so sharing information amongst mates is sponging is it? ive said from day one adicted know their sh1t, the only reason i wanna leave is because its a 2 hour round trip for me and i want to find someone a bit closer. FYI i havent moved from adicted, i havent even called anyone else. Ive asked for information on other tuners capabilities with LPG and thats it. You dont know sh1t about me or how much ive spent at adicted. Im sure you have thousands of dollars to play with cars. I on the other hand am young and dont have all this money to blow on sh1t thats gonna fcuk up, so i read up as much as i can before i do anything, i didnt realise there was anything wrong with researching before spending my hard earned cash. This is a fcuking forum d1ckhead. The whole point of it is so users can share and gather information. You contribute nothing, only smart arse comments to start sh1t. I wanna see if you actually speak to me in real life like you do on the net. Just keep talking man. Now i know what people mean when they say your a d1ckhead and im probably the last person in the world to start sh1t with someone. You start abusing me over the net like a hard cvnt yet you've never met me or spoken to me in real life. You just read off these forums and think you know everything about me. Like i said im not arguing with you. You wanna keep personally attacking me go sick just think if you would actually say what your typing to my face. Im not saying that like a hard cvnt but if you just met someone would you call them a pos off the bat. If you would then im sure you have a lot of friends.

Yep thats cool man, youre entitled to your opinion and you can call me whatever you like! Yes ive also had my differences with others in the past, but that isnt your concern. Thers only one person that deserves to go fast, and thats Paul. Hes had his car for 10+ years, spent the most money, been through the most bs and remained LOYAL. Who would want to deal with you? They dont know where they stand(coz you workshop whore and toy with ideas) and are only willing to use a $50 N/A motor with cam and valve springs! You must be a big spender at workshops!! They must also love the part where you tell them if they break the motor, the deal is you get to use their facilities for another $50 N/A transplant!! Its a workshop, NOT a charity... Everyone in this 'gas game' is thinking the exact same thing. Youre not going to get anywhere for free. Goodluck and all the best to you. I cbf adding more, but if you see me out and about, youre more than welcome to come say hi and we can discuss this further. DONE.....

As stated, LPG747 made around 400rwkw on close to or around 40psi... SUXGAS's VL made 387 when it went 10.33 @ 132/4 cant remember MPH, not sure how much PSI, but chris u can share this info if ud like So yes its possible these 2 cars are out running and proven with times!!! I also know of another one in the build which will see BIG BIG power hopefully close to, or into the 8's! he doesnt want the car talked about yet, but a few of us know who it is Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
