mixed driving 150km highway empty trailer, 40km around town trailer loaded with rubbish 190km/33.80L = 17.79L/100km :D

if you can afford it, full aftermarket like a microtech or vipec etc.

that way you can run direct fire ignition and fuck off the distributer.

if it is popping on decel down hills etc then its still getting fuel when it shouldnt be.

you need to check and adjust the tps/idle switch.

either that or you have leaky injector seals.

Hey just a quick question Guy's, if 13's are too lean on petrol than 12's would be to lean on a boosted lpg engine right? with petrol under boost you usually aim for between 11 - 12 lpg reads at a leaner ratio stoich for petrol is 14.7 whereas lpg from memory is 15.5 so under boost on lpg you would ...

They are a trick to setup on Gasresearch, it requires a vapour feed into the fast idle at the rear of the manifold that can be jetted or it will never acheive the same idle speed or quality as petrol. These ECU's are somewhat generic, JECS? Hanve Nistune got that softed now, last I looked they were ...

"mooseboost" are you sure those figures are right????? 4.8 km per litre works out to be 20.83 litres per 100 km. which is about what non turbo tb42's would get under those conditions, and lpg should use about 30% more. I would have thought your figures would have been around 30 litres of lpg to ...

you can buy the cables direct from ecutalk via ebay for like $70, there are MANY different softwares out there which work with the tb42e.

however according to the websites ive seen they state tb4 isnt supported even tho it has the same 14 pin plug.
