Propane Injection

What about propane injection. I new a guy who used that setup in his 3000gt vr4 and much preferred it to Nitrous Oxide. Any opinions

Propane injection is mainly reserved for Diesel trucks...

While I'm sure you could use it on cars... it would require a lot of custom work...

like raineman said, its mainly used on diesels. ive never heard of it used on a gas engine though. propane is to diesel as nitrous is to gas.

I wouldn't go that far, Its more like water/meth for them. I've hear of gasoline motors being converted to propane but from what I understand it kills power.

Diesels respond very well to all of the above. Water/meth, nitrous, propane all give them nice gains.

I'd be interested to hear more about propane injection not conversion, for our cars or something similair.

Well the reason I brought up that converting them kills power is because if your running only on a power added and you loose power. How much power is it going to add when you run it in an injection setup?

i am no expert but what i see in this picture is that when you use nos you are getting cold pressurized gas which will will not burn if you try to egnite it. but on the other hand if you use propane on a gas engine, it will only flood the cylinders as it is another type of fossil fuel like gas. yes it is cold but it still ignites at a very low heat source. i just do not believe you will not see any gains for doing this. now for diesel's it works very good. as me and my brother-in-law put it to test in his 10 wheeler. believe me it made that v-8 detroit blow out blue flames out about 5 ft and it will make it go. but it is a good way to burn one up to.

Yes you can run propain on a gas engine! Geeez! Ok think of it this way with NOS your adding more oxygen to the mix which is why you also need to add more gas, but propain IS a gas and therefor you don't need to richen the mix! All you need is the same type setup like you'd run with NOS for a propain setup and watchout! I worked with a guy YEARS ago who when he was in the AirForce bet a guy his months pay he could get his 69 Charger to 200mph. He used propain thru a 3/8 tube and won the bet. He also melted all 8 pistons but he bought a new engine with the money he won.

Well thats if you dump it stright in thru a 3/8 tube! LMAO!! It NEEDS to be measured so you don't dump in too much like Dave did. If used PROPERLY propain injection is safer then N2O.

And I'm cute? Really? Post a pic, are you cute too.

Well your "plus many more" you have listed is kind of a stumper. But it sounds like your off to a good start.

Intake, CA header and DP, the GMPP catback is nice!, B&M shift + is good. Have you considered a tune? I know the 2.4 isn't easy to do but the gains you can get really are quite big. Any thoughts off boosting it?

you can buy all that stuff from any place that sells kits usually, and I always see it popping up used on local car forums.

Well I was talkign to Scott on getting a wet kit, and I want to turbo later after warrenty, not to mention I kinda want to get a tune but can't find a place out in Utah that does it. So im kinda sol.

Also where can I get a good header for cheap that wont crap out on me, and downpipe as well. I wanna get them before next monday when I get my GMPP exhaust on, and that plus many more is just for show cause I will get more later just not sure of which

Sorry not a fan of the N2O, I've seen waaaay to many bad bad BAD things happen from it.

Header and DP, go check out Cobalt Addiction a site sponcer. Great prices, awesome service, fantastic prices. And Donna's HOTT so its a win win all around!
