lpg turbo question

Post by munro1656 »

hi all

I'm new to forum I have a question i drive a 4.2 patrol petrol/lpg I am in process of building new engine and am turbo charging it my question is in regards to lpg mixer I don't think I can install it after turbo due to the pressure differences ofbetween boost and mixer so can it be run on vacum side (in front) of turbo the car will be dyno tuned when all fitted

cheers craig

You have to blow through if you plan to intercool, you can't have a intercooler full of LPG on the front of your car. The converter needs the same boost reference and it all works.

yep you put your mixer after the turbo, and then from the pressure side run a reference hose into the converter this will let it run in both vacuum and boost....very easy, you don't want to do suck through for heaps of reasons one which Joel has already mentioned.

on most converters on the top cover there will be either a bung or boss where you can run a hose into from either the cooler pipe or just pressure side of the turbo somewhere, I guess its relevant to ask what converter and mixer your using, you haven't mentioned here or in the PM.
