Reason I ask, I had plans on getting a TVS1900 charger but a few priorities changed, so a LiLPG conversion is now taking place in place of the charger.
Thing is, I still want to supercharge (Gotta love grunt from 1500rpm) but now I'm thinking the plumbing for the LPG may not be compatible with a top mount charger.
If this the case, I may have to consider a centrifugal charger, but i would miss out on the awesome low end grunt, well I assume so.

There was a guy on here in Melb Who had a silver VE SSV with a Harrop HTV1900 & LiLPG. cant remeber his Name but I believe APS/Auto gas injection did it.

T2000 is running a custom Rotrex supercharger on the Icom JTG LiLPG and making shed loads of power. I think it was round 50rwkw more on LPG than petrol. Send him a PM.

I would also be interested to hear answers and info on this. Have been considering LI-LPG but wasnt sure if it would restrict what mods could be done later down the track, particually PD blower or turbo(s).

Ive already been in contact with T2000 but only regarding the LPG conversion.
He's running a centri charger where as I want a roots style set up.
I guess the best thing to do is ask the LPG installer whats the go with it.

Hey mate,
Give in touch with Luis at APS in Melbourne.

My personal feeling is that you could probably have a successful LiLPG/ PD Blower setup up to around 400rwkw. (provided you dont mind drilling and tapping extra injectors into your shiney new PD Blower/manifold). I have hit around 360rwkw and have a fair bit more to do to reach the optimum setup... but i have not come close to reaching the limits of my LiLPG setup (based on Air Fuel Ratios at various rpms). BTW Rotrex builds boost very early (nowhere near as laggy as other centris) *puts flamesuit on:fishing:
I am confident that Luis has experience with delivering that sort of power in forced induction and LiLPG, his advice and support has been invaluable to me:)
Goodluck, Chris
