propane on a dsm?

[TSIAWDTalon]

Check this out. www.importpoweronline.com I work at a high performance diesel shop (I know, oxymoron, but you would be surprised, we have a 7900 lb Powerstroke running low 13 in the 1320) We have been putting propane systems on these trucks for a while. You get better fuel mileage, about 100 whp, cleaner oil, and cleaner plugs. A small amout of propane will go a long way. Propane comes out of the bottle at -60 deg, so intake temp is drastically reduced. From what I have read, IPO system is set to open at about 8psi, and increase with boost. My only problem is they want a little more than what I want to spend. I think if I can find a spot for the regulator and a tank, I might just give this a shot. Propane+water injection+50 shot=walking? You never know.....:laugh: :laugh:

I can say that the US Government vehicles that run on CNG (propane?) suk a55. They guzzle the gas, make no power you can feel, it is a waste. I wouldn't trust propane in a race car.

I know the guy who owns importpoweronline. he has adapted a propane kit for deisel trucks for turbo cars. He has his kit on his fullybuilt 3000GT VR-4. They are great kits.

Plus propane has a really high octane rating

Hey everybody

This is Import Power Online. Just thought I would chime in. We have tried to reply to every board we are showing up on which has been difficult. We are showing up on Turbo Ford, Typhoon-Syclone, Pontiac Supercharged, Honda-Acura Turbo/SCd and others. We have also pre sold to members on each of those boards. It is truly a One kit fits all system.

We have had better than 101 octane gas results. Even after running 2 hours under WOT in the 115+ AZ afternoon sun to gather datalogs the system was still keeping knock down to 0 and a max of 4 at 22psi. Turning off the propane at that point yeilded 24+ knock sums...OUCH......

The Propane systems are going to start shipping next week. We are very excited as are many enthusiasts that are tired of paying $4+/gallon for 100+ octane fuel, me included

Ready for some reading? here is our #si post...30 pages..

Will propane work on gas engines, no oxygen, no burn? I thought it was "nos" for diesel motors.
ie gas motors burn fuel, diesel motors explode fuel.

Propane is high octane fuel, it's like running race gas but CHEAP!

I know that there are cars that run on natural gas. I'm not sure what kind of modifications need to be done(obviously some kind of new fuel cell). The nice thing I have heard about these is that engine disassembly and engine parts keep extremely clean as there is not nearly as much carbon buildup!!

Those engines have plenty of unique parts to them for running a different fuel. Injecting propane like NOS will not require any rework.
