The flow restriction of the vaporiser will be less than the valve in the bypass valve so no issues affecting the coolant flow to the matrix.  :y

Yep :y I'm sure I've seen some with much smaller feed pipes though :-\

That bypass valve has quite a small curtain area, I suspect it would be less than the area of a 10mm bore pipe equivalent  :y

When you 1st connect laptop to stag ecu,do not update the firmware,when you get to the screen for settings and see the save button,save it so as you have the original lpg map and settings,because if you do a furmware update 1st you may not save the original lpg map etc.

Also beware that, on my Stag 300 (the original before the 300 Plus, etc.) there hasn't been a firmware version where you can successfully save and subsequently load the maps again anyway. ::)

If the software will talk to it, I'd advise not updating it at all. The problem we have here is not firmware related and changing it just adds an additional unknown.

We know the Stag setup well here so plenty of help available :y

Because we know the flow rate is high enough, most of us route all of the coolant from before the HBV through the vapouriser and back into it. However, if the flow rate is insufficient then a T would need to be used. I've yet to find a Vap that wouldn't flow enough ;)

We shall see when I have the 300 fitted to the Jag at full chat.  I may have to setup a switchover above 4k revs ::)

I was referring to coolant ;)

The pussy cat might need 2 vaps ;)

I have been contemplating that possibility and where I would put the second Vap :-\

Once you've figured out two vaps etc you can come and do the 645 for me, Matt ;)

Assuming I ever manage to put it back together that is  ;D

If you have seen other installations on the net like I have, then I am not 100% happy with the position on one of the vaps (too close to the exhaust manifold, safe routing of the piping, etc)  there is one that I found that I cannot believe passed inspection.

That said Go Lpg seems to have used one and had no adverse effects or limits on performance :-\
