This is out of curiosity.
If running straight LPG, what compression ratio would you be capable of running? |

Adrian,
as lpg can be use in a diesel motor [or so i have been told], compression should not be an issue with lpg...
[just work out the equivalent compression of eggy's turbo at 18 psi...]
i ran a high comp 2ltr for a few days [then killed the bottom end  ] but that was not cos of the gas....
hope this helps some
rob. |

well, its like this,
buy a second hand g200,
reco the top end, check pistons, bores, change timing chain,
re-assemble, install, do a burnout [or 10] then realise you should have done the bottom end bearings while you had the chance, spun a bearing, ripped out g200, started again.
