LPG is a fault on a standard engine. It will reduce your oxy in the cylinder and so it will reduce your power of the engine and your economy, because you have to use more throttle to get the some power output. You never get any savings out of it. Think about all the technolgie you have to use to run that stuff - it is not for free.

It is a different story, if you have a direct injection of LPG, because you dont reduce any of your engine size (same amount of air) and as plus you add some coolant to the cylinder. But that is a very expensive setup.

Dont understand me wrong - LPG is good to use, because it comes for free with the oil out of the ground. But dont think you will save any money - it is all worked out mate.

Nothing is for free.

Ok, i'll take your advice on board, thanks.
Not really the answering my question though.

I have the same model nissan as nutters GQ.

Same car:
Hey for those of you who asked for fuel figures, I finally did a long highway run and it used 19-20litres per 100km, that was with 35inch tyres, 2 people and 2 spare tyres on board.

It rained the whole way from my house to loch sport some 250km away and the whole way back without a break, the aircon was running the whole time too.

With the old setup the figures where much much worse, with the 31's it should be better again.

Same car:

Fuel economy on 31's mostly city cycle 15-16 per 100kays
On 35's around 20-22litres full city cycle.

Nutter used gas research system with a blow through turbo set up, i know im using something different here but seems only one person here NSW to do it and charges a fortune. but

You were saying?

G`day , yep that`s the one .

Actually the guy in Poland told me he had someone that was going to try it with Airod , i guess you ?

If i find a cheap coverter i`ll still try it one day as i like the way it works , i`ve not long bought a new Impco converter , if i`d see this then i`d have one .

The only thought i had was in reading about the blos is that one of the adjusters can be used lift the slide to get home if the diaphram holes/tears so a spare may be handy .


Cheers

Got the mixer early in the week, have the rest of the kit just waiting on some small odds and ends to get it done. Gotta say, as far as getting mitures right its a massive improvement on a ring mixer.

Will post some video when its all done, apparently works well on rovers so some of you might like to see how they go.

Got my setup running, Airod converter and Blos mixer I think its great so far.
I did change from a carby manifold to an injection manifold, but i've gained some low down grunt. It actually runs alot better than it did on petrol.

They work well.

It will go alot better if you used twin BLOS mixers , one of them struggles to deliver 200hp , still thats enough for a Rover V8 .Also the OMVL90E is a way superior positive convertor , just trick it up to deliver 5 psi primary pressure . easy to do . The BLOS is whole lot better than choked up GRA stuff . Then again I use a quad throttle body setup with 2 x 200KW convertors and it still runs out of gas after 5500 RPM . 400FWHP 250 RWKW on straight LPG .

Honestly not after heaps of power. If i did go chasing it, the gearboxes dont like it in these things.

I actually got a price on that exact converter before getting the airod, but trying to talk to gas man about it, was if he was deaf. He laughed at the blos mixer.

Like you say though, i still might look into getting a second miexer and the omvl converter. Wouldn't be worth it unless i could sell the airod really.
