yet another what engine topic GQ wagon

Lol 454 crossing the Simpson, dunno how the petrol tanker would go keeping up with you over the dunes!

[stool]

A Fuel injected big block v8 will surprise some with
its max power around 1800rpm and can be not much
worse than a tb42 if not better once loaded up for a holiday
at the fuel pump

for eg I have a 454 on LPG and it dose 28lph around town and about the same on the hwy

and most tb42 engines on LPG use around 23lph empty

mate if fuel ecomony is your main reason for a conversion id remoove anythought of petrols, turbo and intercooler will pay for itself in a year with fuel savings, plus very reliable and the cheapest option

bought 6years ago a 94 gq with td42 with Luxan turbo, 3" Exhaust, fitted from new and only replaced the radiator with custom HiTech radiator, no intercooler running 8pound boost, doesn't overheat ,pulls like a truck and with long range tank fitted (145L) pulling offroad Trackabout camper can get a touring range 1100-1200km on 33" MTZ.
Use KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) and you can't go wrong, this motor has only 280,000 on it and will never get rid of it.


94 gq RX4.2 , 4" lift ,MTZ, winch etc
