looked for ages no one speaks of it except for paul and i dunno how keen he is to tell us who complianced it before him or if he knows
if anyone knows of someone who compliances vlt's it would be much a ppreciated thanks
did a search read **** loads very interesting but not what i was looking for

Gas research to answer the other part of your question.
lol yeh i started that thread and wellsy didn't seem like he could be stuffed pm'ing me on the compliance issue
is every **** just driving around uncomplianced?
im gonna give gas research a call tomorrow but feel like a **** how many ****ers do u think they get called by asking bout gas conversions for their car, im just going to gas cause its so much more logical for power and fuel consumption but they prolly just think im a cheap **** lol
Of cause most of the old cars are uncomplianced. Only the cars after 92 need a plate. Unless you sell it then it gets complicating. Im very eager to see wellsys vl. I heard it puts out 320rwkw (only heard not trying to start anything)
You got the numbers mixed up... It made 023 kw...
My car will be tuned to a nice and safe, 250 ish kw @ wheels.
Until I work out what Im going to do about my bottom end, and gearbox.
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

dont lie! U told me it made 320 RWKW... Altough I dont understand if you have a gas car why you want a Race tune and a street tune. that just ruins the reason why you would go gas. Just give it a streetible race tune and stick with it.

i cant see a stocko bottom end handling 320 rwkw maybe for 3 seconds

Muzza we have already discussed this...
Its not Street and Race tune... .
Its called the "Gearbox needs to last more then a week tune"
Once I sort out where Im going with the car, it will be one tune 24/7.
my car has been gas complianced but this was before i bought it and was done back in 99!
wellsy, sell the gearbox and get an auto before you lose 2k+...
Wellsy your doin the right thing, when the time comes fill her up on straight propane, and wind the boost up.
maps can easily be made for both types of gas.. and when you switch it over (you might have two mixers by that stage ) it will work very nicely..
Gas compliancing is whats done when the gas installer installs the gear and approves it, and signs all the necassary paper work, and sends it off to vicroads.. and attaches a compliance plate to your car.. thats all..
Nothing to do with emissions, it's just to show it's been installed to recommended specifications.
I was there when it was ran, and saw it.. dyno print out to prove it, rumours are nothing but.... rumours

why do you have to run propane?? that means you need a street and race tune! I wouldnt bother.. there is only a few places you can actually find propane!!!
That just makes life harder..
Yeah it does.. we only have one spot up here, and thats BOC..
We were having trouble with pump gas octane levels varying up here, down in melbourne it might be different, but thats basically what sets the gas pressure, and running out of gas at high rpm and boost would be a problem, so propane is a good back up if matt wants to run boost without any fear of leaning it out. I know the gas lines have been enlarged, and the springs in the convertors changed.. but that will only get you so far, it's more of a safety precaution than anything else..
Fair enough.. Will be interesting to see how many km's he will get outta a tank of propane and to see where he can fill it up when he runs out Only 2 places in melb sell propane
Also u would need to tune ur car differently for Propane aswell and its not like on a pertol car where u can put a different map into the computer.. just causes more hassles i think. but each to there own

yeh well wot ever it is, you still told me it made 320 RWKW Like i said very very big power esspecially with LPG and no forgies...

yeah thats true, propane is not like normal LPG..
The plan would be, a softer low boost tune for street driving and cruising, and then go by a propane outlet for racing when he gets his bottom end and box sorted..
It is a bit of mucking around, but in the end it's the best of both worlds, and leaves a bit of room when he decides to chuck a bigger compressor on the turbo, it's more of a good base to work from with the fuel and ignition side of things done, he should be able to make more than enough power one day if he wants to get into some serious racing... all up to him I guess. I am keen to see how it all goes as much as the next person.. bit annoyed I sold it so cheap now :P haha
Muzza I dont understand why you care so much ?
I could be talking s hit but at the end of the day who cares. I couldnt care less if I run a 10 or a 14, if I lose every drag I ever have...
Im doing this to please myself not others.....
Im not about making statements, Im not about beating others, Im about lighting up the tyres in 3rd cruising along at 70km/h... Im about burnouts, going fast. Cos thats what I enjoy doing.
