not worth it... 2200 bucks to get an injection carby kit fitted how much fuel would that buy for a 1.3l motor? |

This is a performance issue not cost driven. The more I look the more I seem to finding that all the performance wives tails surrounding LPG are just that, wives tails. I'm liking the sound of increased compressions ratio because of the higher octane rating and the fact the it enters the combustion chamber at about -100 degrees. Sounds good for boost. |

You got room for a LPG tank if we are putting the rad in the boot? |

I rection I can fit the rad inside the passenger side wheel arch. I was having trouble trying to work out exactly how to get fresh air into the boot. When we discussed putting it on the underside floor i think you mentioned the exhaust issue. I don't think that can be overcome, whilst still having a radiator of any worthwhile size. F.ck it, it's all too hard.

Yeah, there are a number of very high performance turbos getting around on gas 
I considered doing the moke on gas (as a way of not having to worry about all the emissions crap - LPG is excempt), but was not worthwhile on a NA motor. |
