Trust me iv searched all over pirate, 4x4 wire, club isuzu etc, they all seem to be different, and as i have the diesel you hardly see them in the states! :twisted: how ever i did read a thread on pirate under isuzu section some of the guys were putting wanted adds for the 2.8 diesels and when i qu...

People quite often mistake torque they see on a dyno sheet as engine torque, it's quite easy to set up your gear ratios so your wheel torque is astronomical :) My ex-bosses drag car forced his dyno guy to upgrade to a dynapak rated at 3000nm. Since KiwiBacon likes numbers, what boost would a 2.8L p...

umm no cylander presure is the reason for det in a petrol engine as well and timing will not always fix it run to lean ... you get det and burnt valves run to rich .. you get bore wash run to much timing you get det and burnt valves run to little timing you get massive egt's run to much compresson ...

Mr Kiwibacon, take a chill pill. Your making yourself look like a cock smack with a sore wrist. Your initial claim was that LPG fumigation didn't work. No it wasn't. :roll: yes it was :roll: (wonder how it would go with LPG injection. :twisted: It'd go bang. :( LPG fumigation is bollocks and very h...

KiwiBacon

The story is the system had several user selectable "power levels". Turns out the "most power" one wasn't so good for the engine. So this is the same as having different boost levels and expecting everything else to cope. The whole point of a gas system is it puts in more fuel s...

With how long it has been around and how many companies sell kits with warranty, it amazes me that people still clam it will blow up the world. Yes it will kill your motor if done wrong, no one has ever said it won't. But it is like saying that a turbo is unreliable. Yes they use to be and all that...

never said anything about KW ( i think that was 120?) :roll: actualy i started this thread to talk about fuming a diesel engine and if you do it right it works fine with good gains which is where it started in the tow wagon thread. where are these blatantly bogus figures?? the only figures i have t...

Guys guys, if the MATHEMATICAL/GOOGLE master says you need 60psi to make 1000nm than that must be true :roll: ,real world experience dont mean shit unless it matches a mathematical equation on paper :( come on guys think about.... :roll: dont mess with a google master :lol: Shane It has just been p...

KiwiBacon

Also I bet that melted piston had an aftermarket turbo so that just proves that any aftermarket turbo kit will melt your motor! Or does it mean that a muppet tuned it with too high egt's? Cummins 6, factory turbo. The increase in EGT's was solely due to gas, the diesel system reportedly untouched. ...

hang fire how do you know were the power is ? i cant see anywhere in the threed hes stated rpm .... or were hes actially stated anythign of the power .. i saw .. i think .. but that could be from thin air no point making up stuff to abuse someone with and with no rpm or dyno figure produced yet .. ...

In Europe all the new commercial trucks and buses have had to go to this sort of system to reduce emissions, the added power is a bonus for them. The newest standards for comercial trucks in europe require them to run three fuel tanks, One Diesel, One Eurea and one LPG to pass current new vehicle e...

8 liter petrol can make over 1200 nm on just 14 psi of boost .. just out of intrest also quite strange i know of a few dedicated lpg engines running over 13:1 static compression .... That is believable. The best you get from a NA petrol is about 100Nm per litre of displacement. 8 litres = 800Nm 14p...

and yes it does have near on 1000nm of tourqe, 970 to be more accurate and yes the ratios were correct as i queried him on it :roll: theres plenty of guys that do and have good results.

i think the point is more... there both still running and running well keen to know your first hand experance on this before you start throwing wild accusations at wopass Yep, run lpg into my diesel and it detonates violently. Presume you guys all know the legality of such systems in this country?

It'd go bang.

LPG fumigation is bollocks and very hard on the engine for the power it delivers. Stick to diesel tuning, plenty of examples of hot-rod duramax on the net.
