hey guys,
I was reading ZOOM today. Some guy had a 300+kw cresida and I thought that I thought about what I would like. I've decided on around 170 - 200 as an aim for the next two years. I don't want to swap my LPG setup, I like it, it's cheap and it's different.
car '82 JA starion.
LPG gas
exhaust
pod intake
so it's still pretty stock. Just wodnering what you guys would do?
The reason I ask is 'cos I just got a new job so I can now afford to put an $100 a week into the starion that I never could before.
And chris ('83JA :P) yes I have my oil leak fixed now.
Dave

My JA has perfect motor - FMIC - forgies - high flow head but...rusted front guards and keyed on every panel. Time to get serious or time to take it to the tip.
I doubt you'll make the figure from the standard engine.
You could swap out for a vr4 (twincam) engine and make it almost out of the box though.
My vr4 is currently undergoing an LPG swap to dedicated gas, but I am using a whole host of gas research parts so I retain the highest possible power. You might want to invest in some. Also, I'd suggest you pick if you're going dual fuel or straight from the word go. You'll need an aftermarket computer in either case to control ignition at least.
My suggestion is roll with dedicated gas as you can remove the stock fuel system completely (saving a boatload of weight). You'll need to leave the injectors in the head or weld the holes up. I just left them there. Also, the pipework can be redone to be most efficient and you don't need an AFM or any of the intake plumbing. This allows proper turbo selection and way better control for your power. I'll tell you how mine goes once it's all done, i'm just waiting on APA to make me a G84MAN tank. Damn fools ran out of stock :(

I'm having an absolutely impossible time finding an APA Industries G84MAN tank (203x3 * 800mm scuba style). Apparently everyone in the world is out of stock and APA hasn't given a deadline on their next run.
Does anyone know any other cylinder manufactuers for LPG????? I NEED A TANK OF THAT SIZE OR SIMILAR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
^^^ I can't stress that enough.
On a side note, wanna sell your gas starion to me? :D
