No problemo... it is probably well enough sorted to throw down the 1/4 mile now. So when I have a weekend free & there is an open spot on a private day at WSID i'm there. Happy to take support vehicles & pit crew with me ......... or competitors

found a couple more pics of the new front intrusion bar and intercooler setup that we fabbed up. Heavy duty & Built to last... nice powder coat finished it off.

Hey Mate,

Nah just straight hose.
There was no leaks but the stock hoses were in the way and a pretty untidy setup... so they got replaced

What a nugget

What a nugget

Wondered how long it would be before our favourite Troll would come out from under his bridge!

Ah, I remember seeing this way before you got LPG or the Supercharger.
Like what you doing with it, especially the backyardian charger install

Cheers Darryl.

Sorry for the late reply - I had abit of a Hiatus from LS1 forum whilst I got a few other "projects" under control.

Issues?
Nothing major.
The LiLPG setup required a little tweaking of the vacuum regulator so that there was sufficient fuel flow when being pushed.
But the LPG loves the extra air that the Charger provides - runs great!
Very happy with the setup powerful, economical & reliable

Tuning was all DIY.


I've made a few more tweaks to the car recently so I probably need to post another update.

Cheers, Chris

[Daggs68]

yeah, your setup looks awesome.
The adventra I'm trying to buy has an impco system on it, so heaps differnt to yours :-(
Still I am sure there are others who have pd blown an impco LS1 before ?
Right ?
Anyone ?

Cheers
Darryl

[T2000]

Hey Darryl

Impco have made good quality LPG conversions for a few decades now.
Not sure what the limits of their fuel delivery is though.
I'm assuming it is an SVI setup?
Do you know how the LPG fuelling is managed? Does it have a piggy-back computer or does it rely on the factory PCM?
Can the flow of the injectors be increased by changing calibrators or injectors?
If you can get a little more flow out the IMPCO system then the car will perform very nicely.
Forced induction is generally safer on LPG due to the fuel being more knock resistant.
LPG loves forced induction as it needs lots of O2.

I look forward to hearing about your new Adventra... I have always been a fan
