With fuel set to go through the roof the idea of a LPG fed FJ20ET intruiges me. Has it been done before? If anyone has experience with LPG and boost and could lay down some basics it would be appreciated!

Are FJ20 heads LPG compatible from the factory?

I know a bloke who has done this many times, Does the A-series dizzy conversion then just runs a gas setup. Mainly NA setups, however I have seen 1 supercharged setup come out of his shed but it didn't last very long as the S/C was way too big.

I have a gas setup on my fj20 in a bluebird. No problems at all. I even race it.

Hey dude. I also have an FJ20et running gas in my Bluebird. With stock turbo, a small fmic and custom dump pipe I am making 164rwkw on 11psi and about 440nm.

jordan and Andre could you please post up your exact set ups? I'm guessing Gas Reasearch??

Andre 164rwkw on 11 psi is fantastic! What is your fuel consumption like?

Ill try and tell you what I know but I let my mechanic sought things out for me so I probably cant provide to much insight sorry.

Basically from the 63l tank
8mm service line
high flow check valve
B2 Converter
Gas Research carb which is a 280 in size
e15 electronic dizzy ( I think )

The GRA carb is more or less bolted directly to the dr plenum chamber which has had all the unnessary holes welded shut ( eg injectors )

The only other mods not to do with the gas are a turbosmart eboost2 controller, CAI with k&n filter, fmic ( also I DR item I beleive ) and a 4 1/2" split dump pipe off the t03.

As far as economy goes, I get around 320km average from the 63l tank but my speedo does read 12kmh slow. Thats driving to the city and back everyday. I have managed to get 370km before and out on the freeways it uses less again but I have never run a complete tank on just freeway driving.

Hope this helps a bit I can try and provide some more info if you need it but Ill probably have to get more indepth detail from my mechanic.

Cheers

Thanks for the reply. Is there a serial or model number for the GRA carb by chance?

I'm looking into modifying B2 converters, apparently its like going from carbie to injection...?
