Fastest E-Series I6 on LPG

[XRated]

With all this talk of petrol prices and the rebate, I was curious to know if there are any quick I6 E-Series on LPG.

I've been contemplating a straight-gas setup but I still haven't decided if it's worth it yet (considering changing cars mid-next year)... And I am aware of the XE with AU engine and turbo running 9s but I think I can assume it's had lots of money thrown at it!

Has anyone priced a SVI system on an E-Series? Is there a replacement LPG tank for the traditional petrol tank in an EA-ED sedan? I don't like the idea of losing boot space. Oh, and one other thing - will the fuel gauge on the factory cluster be able to show how full an LPG tank is??

i am also very interested in this, but what comp ratio can LPG go up to?

Ah yes, was going to ask that question too.

Also what's the go with aftermarket ECUs and BBQ fuel?

funny.. i was thinking the same thing.. like the look of the gas research setups.. hmmm.. nice..




Ford EA/EB1 Falcon 6cyl, Centrefire, 3sp/4sp Auto $1036.50
Kits include the following :
Throttle Body, Convertor, Lock-off valve, Adapter, Electric Primer, Brackets, Gaskets, Linkages, and Closed Loop Processor System and Idle Speed Control System where applicable.

sounds good.. and with 2000 cashback works out pretty good.

Dont forgot to add the 1" vapour line, brass fittings, instalation and tuning... You won't get any change from $2500

Cringe, that looks like a neat setup. Is that price just an upgrade for a Falcon on dual-fuel or something? I guess you need to add in a tank and all the other stuff Racecraft mentioned. I also see it's for a CFI but you've got pics of a BBM setup...

that price quoted is just what they call an under bonnet kit

So really it'd be the cost of the initial conversion and then another $1k for the pretty stuff?

[Racecraft]

yea give or take a couple of hundred for 'x' brand of convertor that you installer would normally fit

Quickest E-series on gas I can think of right now would probably be John's car, can't really think of anything quicker on gas.

[snypereb]

I wanna see scott gthofan give his car some real stick he runs gas! He has got extractors and exhaust and a manual!!

[trick_xd]

Just stay with the IMPCO stuff and you will be right .
GRA stuff is good but its hard to find some one that knows how to tune it.
XRated yes if you want your gas gauge to work of your dash petrol gauge it is easy to do to "interface" it .
a gas conversion is $2090 a.t.m. but we have been told that they will be going up maybe a extra $200 or so. as for aftermarket e.c.us they will do nothing to the gas.
EB pete comp ratio can go as high as you can gas likes high compression .
as for how quick .. I have not run my down the qtr but is good enough ..

not sure bout the xe but theres the xf called ezi-10 from vic. as u can probably tell it does 10s, and does them on gas and turbo crossflow engine.

[rawan05]

and u can see it on fullboost on features second page

[EFFalcon]

mines the quickest TESTED eseries i think.
(aslong as we're talking n/a)
i'm fairly sure everyone else has done their times on petrol.

GO ME!

15.9 WINNAH!

Don't think it'd take much to beat mine

And yours is quick ta boot. Makes my AU looks slow as, not that its hard to make an AU look slow.

[EFFalcon]

In my opinion there was more in my car, but i think i damaged the engine and it hasnt bee n the same since.
i'll be plenty quick on LPG soon enough

15.8X here (15.6 was petrol) I'd find the slip, but it's not like I can prove it was an LPG run :(

[Kenaz]

I wonder if Simon ever ran his EA on gas at the drags? If so, it was probably pretty quick.

[niko]

i have that GRA overhead pipe if anyone is chasing one :p lol

[dansedgli]

18.9 in my LPG EB. :P

[niko]

my manual mockup ea would run low 16's on gas and that was on fuel timing never touched it when i put gra on it

[BOOSTDEF]

That XE is running 9s with an AU motor with a gas research 440 TB and twin converters.

It all seems simple really. :P

[EFFalcon]

looks like onereded's got the title.
but he's manual so thats crap

[Gubas]

Ask me in a week ;)

[RAMD67]

I'm pretty sure I ran an 15.8x on gas with an auto up at heathcote with the ED XR6 I use to have will check slips tonight...I wish I never sold that car :

[XRated]

Hmm so a mid 15 is all that's needed? It's like the old N/A days! Maybe we'll see a straight-LPG turbo E-Series smash the title?

[EFFalcon]

thats the plan Luke

[XRated]

Not if someone beats you to it

[EFFalcon]

then i just have to beat them on the track ;)
