Ive asked a few guys and theyve told me its fine to use nos with Lpg and then i also asked another guy who said its no good and will cause the motor to explode. Apparently it looked like this..... The motor blowing could of been due to a muzza tuning it but i dont want to take the chance. So can some one tell me for sure can i use nos with lpg and what type of nos kit should i use? Cheers guys Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I think you might be limited to a 50hp dry kit. No idea how you would supply LPG with a wet system...

yeah no probs, just have a 3L fuel cell in the engine bay, an efi fuel pump and fill it with c16 :P run a single fogger setup, good for 150hp easily on a turbo car. Or even use alky instead of petrol, just a **** load harder to work out the jetting size, but would be awesome for an lpg car with the cooling effects of nos and meth together. [i would go the c16 route myself, much less complicated to setup] otherwise you could run a dry setup, but then you have to work out a way of raising the LPG line pressure to supply more lpg when the nitrous comes on... and pulling an extra couple of degrees of timing out of it wouldnt hurt either :P (depending how much nos you are talking)

Cheers guys Yes you can l have done it, very simple, l used mcdonald brothers racing and they had no clue, l did it to a junker xf with a 351 with a 425 impco mixer, l put 150hp through it, l found that no can`t in Melbourne knows what there saying, you run the lpg as nornal no need to touch it, you need to run a wet nitrous system, you need a fuel tank, fuel pump, reg, and to feed the fuel solenoid petrol of some sort, and set the reg between 5-6 pounds of pressure, thats it what nos kit, go with what is the best these days Wilson pro flow or edelbrock just as good, NOS is still in the 80`s Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Don't need to run petrol for enrichment. Can be done with liquid LPG taken off the high press side of the convertor. Only problem with doing it that way is that it is inconsistant. Differences in tank pressure during the day or different conditions will affect flow dramatically. What works well in the morning but won't work in the evening. I did find a way to overcome it but its not really practical BUT works well. I hurt heaps of stuff in the process and it cost me a fortune but it can be done.
