LPG.

yes, all vapor injected systems uses the tank pressure (and a regulator/vaporiser to hold a steady pressure).
a venturi system could only work as suck-through system with boost.

[X] nail here for new monitor

surely then a "wet manifold" style system, but using gas injection would get over the mixture issues? as the slugs would have more time to mix..

will a wet manifold system work, after all LPG is, well, a gas? its not wet (or a liquid) once its gone through the vapouriser.

its a turn of phrase to describe a maifold(or runner) pre-filled with the air-fuel mix as opposed to discrete injectors firing the fuel in right at the port entrance, hence the " .. " :)

when I looked at LPG i was looking at using megasquirt to control the fuel, (simple) as MS has the ability to switch to another fuel and spark map so you can have one for petrol and one for LPG,

the harder part is the gas plumbing and evaporator.

So basically use a typical set of remote manifold mounted injectors, with their gas outlet aimed at a single TB, in a "wet" style of injection.

Timing should become less critical, and mixture distribution should be fairly good..

It may even be easier to stage groups of injectors if needed ?

Or for a port injection system.

Maybe the remote style of mounting with the actual nozzle seperate might work better. Not sure how big it needs to be, but it might make it much easier to aim the "fuel" directly at the appropriate intake valve ?

Just looked at this thread and thought that I would throw in that we have an A35 club member running his car on propane. He just put a propane cylinder in the boot as a fuel tank !

I wont drive anywhere near his car as I think its a bomb waiting to go off, judging by the quality of the installation. But then he.s the sort of guy who runs around with only two wheel nuts on each wheel because he says its easier when you come to change the wheels.

LPG is just Propane.

Although I would fit a proper tank lol.


I can recall years ago seeing black taxi's knocking about with yellow calor gas cylinders hanging out of the boot. I think that's Butane though ?

they had been running a petrol engine on this gas ( long long time ago ! )
No idea how good or bad they were. But probably pretty bad. They must have known someone who got the gas for free or something.
