Carnage - We Pull The Engine from Turbo Taxi to Find Out What Went Wrong! 

So true 😂

how good

Happy days eh🤓

Sounds familiar lol

Really? We have some crappy tin can Mustangs we can send you lol.

I swore my head off at that exact moment just watching.

Absolutely!… would still be alive today running 10’s if the bottom end had just been pulled down and ring gap added 🤷‍♂️

Yes it does create more ring heat, because LPG is a dry fuel and doesn't have the ability to cool the rings like a wet fuel (petrol) extra ring gap would have more than likely saved this engine. Looking at the piston Scotty pulled up there is no signs of lean out damage, this looks more like the rings nipped up and tore the ring lands out.

I'd be keen to see how you go with that

Tunnel vision has run the fastest LPG cars in the country, I'm pretty sure he knows what he's doing. 264rwkw on 8cyl vs 490?rwkw on a 6 cylinder turbo is not comparable either.

Very true , you may have missed the point I was trying to make , the VY isnt a race car, the point I was trying to make is that "Liquid " injection make more power than 98 octane perrol and the kit Scotty used is a Vapour injection kit that makes less power that 98 octane petrol so had he chosen a Liquid kit he'd probably gone quicker. The Liquid option would have needed two fuel pumps in the specialized lpg tank but they don't need a second ecu to run nor a vapourizer in the engine bay so the cost of a streight gas conversion becomes more comparable to vapour kit conversion . The point to my VY is that I have a reliable dayley driver ( for 12 years now) that has more power than stock LS1 and is as cheap to run as a 4 cylinder , when it was first put on the dyno completely stock it made 197 rwkw's, now i get 262rwkw's and a car that has no trouble returning 11.5 lph on the freeway and pulls the tandom trailer with a Commodore race car on it at 110 kph and returns 15.5 lph. lpg is currently 91.9 cents where i live and 98 is about $2:35 cents a little , do the math, its cheap as to run , try pulling a race car that with a twin cab diesel and see how it compares , the VY eats them for breakfast on the hills and never drops under 110kpk and only cost 1/2 as much for fuel ....just sayin

@@craigritchie1933 about 8 or 9 years ago I tried to get someone to do a liquid injection lpg setup on my ba XR8 ute and no one wanted to do it. I’ve done 400,000 kms in that time all on 98 unleaded, the thousands I’d be ahead now! Hearing about ur ls1 on gas makes me wish I coulda got it done back then

I'd read about "Liquid " lpg in a performance magazine about 1995 and it then took another 17 years for an ADR approved kit to become available for my car , they were/are expensive and you had to push hard to get one but i had to have one. My cars now done 300,000k People are now saying that LPG isn't worth having because its become too expensive at around $1:00 a litre however the savings are bigger now than they ever were. Most people don't realize they can still retain a simular amount of power and to what they currently have on petrol with big savings 🤔

Oh, we could have definitely found one with more kays

@@STREETMACHINETV They're a pretty good buy too if you just want to toodle around and not go fast. Our AU had dual fuel and worked great on long roadtrips.

Yep, unfortunately it happens to the best of us

Tempting but complicated

@@STREETMACHINETV and trying to go 10's with LPG wasn't complicated enough 🥰🥰

Thinking the same thing mate

I do get where you're coming from but at the same time running 10's on LPG is the whole point of the project. It was never supposed to be an easy goal and it would be a shame to give up after all this time.

Doesn’t have it cause I’m pretty sure it’s got aftermarket stronger bell housing

Nah, then it’d just be the same as anything else. It’s great to see something a bit different, and challenging. The problems and problem solving make it heaps more interesting than the usual Barra or LS builds that are a dime-a-dozen. This and supermang are the 2 builds I’m most interested in.

I agree that ring gaps would help at this power level

@@STREETMACHINETV ring gap and correct timing/fueling is usually reliable on stock pistons. Rods should bend first

But you have to tune for it and run it all the time

@@STREETMACHINETV switch on the dash to change tunes on the Haltech and a smaller propane cylinder in the boot? Where there’s a will…

Well spotted

Usually privately converted

True enough, but messy

The car doesn't get hot

Might be dangerous to the manifold...

They're pretty close

Backfires

Hyperutetic pistons aren't much stronger than cast. For the dollars might as well go forged

@@STREETMACHINETV just thinking the hypereutectics expand and shrink less so can run a tighter piston clearance so less stress on ring lands? they can help piston longevity without as many $$$? just thinking you might give the existing engine another life. maybe keep as a dyno mule to test theories before put in place with the dearer engines? i just don't wanna see another barra in the bin. LOL.

Slazenger make them now

Sounds like a pain in the butt

@@STREETMACHINETV it sounds like it but it really isn't that bad, I've done it many times and it is my preferred way. In my opinion it is alot easier than you think and doesn't add any more time.

Sure we can do that but I suspect it would trip every run and we'd never get tgat 10

Block is fine

Thank you

It wasn't water, it was fuel contamination

The last one
