Over-view to date from the vehicle owner:
-
The dyno results are
not the optimum output as there was
a limitation of trying to load up
the engine without it force-
shifting to the next gear 4th,
but there is still a healthy
increase of around 20% in HP & a 15%
in torque.
-
It should be noted
that there has only been a
conservative addition of gas vapour
- there is certainly room for higher
rates of gas delivery, should higher
HP/Torque outputs be required.
-
Gas flows at 4 PSI of
turbo boost, which eliminates the
off the mark inherent turbo lag &
the sluggishness / response of light
throttle acceleration. Pedal
response is more in line with the
5.7 Litre V8 Hemi but with around
half the fuel consumption.
-
The system is simple
yet effective in design as it
delivers only gas vapour at the
turbo without the need of the usual
additional gas mixers/converters &
associated plumbing & water heating
lines.
-
Boot space loss is
acceptable as one tank of gas is
sufficient for three to four tanks
of diesel, depending on driving
style - a smaller 18 litre tank is
also available which has even less
impact to boot space.
-
To meet regulation
requirements the gas tank is filled
outside the car behind a drop down
number plate frame, so no visible
sign (other than the required GAS
sticker on the number plate) is
evident.
-
Installation is
relatively simple & straight forward
with the bare minimum of
modification.
-
From the lower dash
area the system can also be turned
on & off via a multi-position
switch, gas level is also displayed
by a small multi-LED gauge. If gas
runs out during operation of the
vehicle there is no issue, just a
reduction in performance & economy.
So what's next?
-
-
Full EPG compliance
testing.
