Xr6 Turbo On Straight Gas?

[BoostedVT]

Hi fellas,

I am sorry if I have posted in the wrong section so feel free to move it to the correct one.

I currently have a standard BA falcon, however I have just acquired the following (xr6 turbo engine, diff and auto transmission)

I am planning on putting it all into my BA and running it on straight gas. Just wondering if anyone has done this and any feedback around this?

My goal is to keep the car as a daily as I have numerous other projects. I am aiming to squeeze 300rwk out of the car on straight gas. I will be doing the following mods in order to achieve that power level

upgraded FMIC kit

flash tune (with custom tune)

full 3inch turbo back exhaust with a custom 4 inch dump

run around 14psi

upgrade the internals on the auto to hold the power (I have been told they wont take more than 260rwk)

And upgrade the valve springs

Nizpro intake manifold.

Would the above mods achieve those power levels? I dont want to push the engine to the limits as the car will be a daily.

And can anyone recommend a good workshop in melbourne to tune the car to run on straight gas

cheers

Cummon fellas, there has to be some gas gurus out there.

you will need a bigger exhaust and also a stronger wastegate actuator, A liquid injection kit could supply enough fuel for that engine, but it would not be a standard kit. We have been a part of a build in an XR6T that ran 350 rwkw in a manual while on gas.

I am more than happy to install a bigger exhaust and wastegate actuator. However I dont want to change over to liquid injection system. Because as I mentioned above I already have a straight gas set up (ford factory fitted). I would prefer to use that instead.

I do understand that in order to achieve 300rwk I may need to upgrade the gas converter or run another all together.

All I really wanna know is are those figures achievable while on straight gas? is it going to be realiable? (as the car will be a daily) and are there any possible issues with the gas set up?

(before anyone tells me to stop being a tight ass and just run it on petrol, I dont wish to do this as the car is just going to be a daily) I have 5 other projects going atm which are sucking up all my cash.

cheers

A mixer ring system will always be a restriction and always hold back possible power gains no matter how it is set up.

A mixer ring system will always be a restriction and always hold back possible power gains no matter how it is set up.

In that case what is the maximum power I can make out of a mixer ring set up?

[Worm]

Not worth it. Too many restrictions and too many problems...

Go liquid... It is awesome. I had the 350rwkw XR6T on liquid and it was a dream to drive...

Mixer will be inefficient... very inefficient....

I understand where you are coming from. The thing is I dont wish to spend big dollars on the car as I mentioned above I have 5 other projects that I wish to complete instead.

I am just interested to know how the car would run on a direct gas set up with the turbo? and what sort of power levels I can expect?

If its too much stuffing around I will just end up keeping it a NA.

If you cant afford to do it properly, dont bother. Modifying cars isnt cheap. The only realistic way to do it is to go the JTG liquid injection system which is around $5000 installed for a standard system. Trying to get ancient mixer ring LPG system to make power in an xr6 TURBO would be pushing sh*t up a hill.

Well just to repeat myself I dont want to spead a sh*tload on the conversion as I have 5 other projects. The car is just a daily.

And with the mods I have listed above (I beleive they are more than sufficent for a daily drive).

My brother has a liquid injection set up and his had nothing but trouble.

Further I dont believe the mixer setup is a waste. There are some big cars running straight gas set ups such as gas747 and running 10sec quarter mile. The biggest issue I have with a gas set up is finding a tuner good enough to tune it.
