Can the 2.8 v6 turbo lump run on lpg readily enough

Would a KME Gold vapouriser be man enough, or would two Silvers be better, one for each bank

[RobseyMV6]

Why not vxr8?

I know lpg has been fitted to many turbo car's "V6" but what the running out come is i don't know....

Worth phoning lpg now it all's?

Kme gold will work,iirc, to 300bhp but need to check the specs. The injectors in the "omega PAC" that we are used to won't cope. But there's plenty that will.

No idea how the lpg system will cope with a turbo. But theirs a turbo setting in the Stag software so I guess its doable.

Not my field at all, but I remember reading one time on the VXR forum that it doesn't seem to be that successful. Maybe I'm wrong though  And maybe that was just referring to that particular lump?

May well be so on that forum. But Holden now factory fit lpg to order in Aus.

There are kits that cope with 400 bhp for sure. But at that price range I'd go for Prins which isn't cheap.

Stock is 325bhp btw

I'd have to look into it a bit more but iirc you would need a vap designed for turbo engines

[05omegav6]

Hadn't considered that... had presumed that the turbo took care of the air, and the vaporisers supplied enough gas to keep the injectors meeting the demand

Rustled this up...

Could the Stag 300+ therefore be suitable

Where have you come from, should you not be out there with Dazzle creating problems for the Admin?........

The vapouriser regulates vapour pressure relative to manifold vacuum / pressure so that shouldn't be an issue as long as the vaporiser is capable of providing enough flow. The thing is, the power ratings quoted for vapourisers are optimistic for a naturally aspirated setup, in my opinion. For a turbo setup the vapouriser is called on to deliver the vapour at a much higher pressure and a turbo engine will probably want to run richer at full power anyway, so I'd forget the rating on the vapouriser and got for a pair of KME golds, one per bank.

Not sure I'd trust a Stag on that. Pretty much all our Stag installs have some sort of minor running issue and they only just keep the fuelling within the tolerances required to keep the Omega's engine ECU happy. On a more modern engine with the added complication of forced induction it could get tricky. Then again, I have seen nothing to suggest that any of the "premium" LPG kits are any better.
