Mate don't go a mixer ring for god's sake!!!!! Go for Impco or GRA or injection if you wanna make serious HP. Mixer rings are just for BBQ's IMO LOLLOLOLO Not really but they are the last thing I'd fit to my turbo.

They dont 'make' it specifically for the VL but if you find someone good enough it can be done.

gas inj can be fitted to just about any F.I car... they piggy back the existing ecu. and new injector nipples are drilled, tapped and screwed in with the injector solinoids hanging just above... very simple design.. you just need to know the right ppl to tune em.

And it also helps if your existing fuel injection is sequential and OBDII. Otherwise the whole idea behind 'vapour SEQUENTIAL injection' don't work too well. I know of a fitter that tried it on a VN that has group fire injection like a VL and it never ran right and in the end got ripped out. I think Ramano injection will do it, and I am authorised to fit it (by the importer/ suplier) but I think their gear aint too flash so I tend to stay away from it. The best option for a VL by far would be to stick with Impco or GRA as its inexpensive and tried and proven.

No offence mate but I wouldn't put that crap in my worst enemies car. I have paid less that $100 in the past for a COMPETE ED conversion that was 8 months old. What you have there is not worth $20.

id also like to know this question aswel? I keep hearing about all these powerful lpg fuelled cars but never see any results to back these up, except for that mustang and a few others. Also everyone keeps raving on about lpg injection and how it makes huge power, but where are these cars?

Also everyone keeps raving on about lpg injection and how it makes huge power, but where are these cars? Im making 312rwkw on LPG without really raising a sweat, so it can be done. Tell u what though, theres no need for more power. I torch tyres in 3rd so im not really sure wat u would need more power in a genuine street car. Others have made heaps more power. Best i know of is 370rwkw out of a vl on LPG. they all use GAS RESEARCH systems, but they have been modified for the power.
