Yep straight LPG my mate in his xf does this runs 10s standard egine will hold 6-8psi boost no probs.

yeah the flange will be getting made bigger, im not gonna run this turbo for long, just want it on there untill i get my hands on a bigger turbo.
will $3000 get me a nice turbo set up??

ummmm $3000 if you already have the turbo then $3000 should be more than enough for the chip. manifold, exhaust and second hand intercooler.

geez! 3000 bucks just for that!?? damn ill be savin alot longer cause i have to do the multipoint conversion before i turbo it (cpi i dont think will cope as well) so i can run the stock motor on low boost without new pistons or decompressing the combustion chamber? sounds alot easier than first thought still think ill go with a top mount intercooler for my setup maybe take your advice and use an rx7 one if itll fit oh do you need an engineer to check it once its done? or do i just inform the rta?

for lpg turbo you dont need to worry bout multipoint

BLWNEB · 03-04-2003, 07:20

Exactly.

dude it could be done cheaper than $3000 (maybe even 1400 if you did the work your self and had access to a good wreaker)
but you need to have leway in cash encase anything goes wrong.

in err street machine mag and ford performance theres a mob who do turbos fitted for $5000 complete

same turbos as the ba's basically.. could be the easiest solution

Gas research do full bolt on kits with cooler etc. Theres details on there website. But the kits will be pricey, if you do most of easy stuff yourself like bolt on the manifold and turbo, oil lines, rest of the exhaust, plumbing to intake and water injection and then pay for gas reaearch to install the gas system and dyno tune it should be no more than 3 k.

Or am i dreaming, ahah

What ya reckon guys?

The real hard part is the exhaust manifold.Next would be bending the hot and cold pipes with mandrell machine..
