The installer I have been chatting with about installing injection has a mega gas injection system installed on his BF XR6T and only lost 2rwkw on the dyno. He also said it can be installed on my NF. xr-lane what sorta dosh u looking at for the convo?

For the mega gas injection system?
he said it would cost $4000 to $4500 to have it installed. But been trying to get the kit from him for 2.5k or there abouts and install it myself. I dont have a clue how to wire up the ecu that comes with the system but have a friend that can help me out with that. Have to drill and tap holes into the BBM next to each injector to install the gas injectors, witch would be the most pain in the a** parts about the install. I hate taking off the BBM

besides liquid injection uses a pump inside the tank, so you need a special tank specially built for that application. So if that kit if a liquid injection kit, it would be missing alot of the parts required.

Ummm... From what I can see, that's not a liquid injection system. It is a GAS injection system and probably one I wouldn't touch with a forty foot barge pole.

You may have problems running it from an EF as its batch injection. This is true however it's possible to run these systems with some effort, that is ones designed for sequential injection only. My EF has injected gas (Dream XXI) and with specialist tuning runs better than any traditional system I've driven. But it has no hope of running out of the box, or out of the average installers tuning effort.. Auto calibration attempts wont work for example.

There's one pic in my gallery which shows the injectors at least, I could take another.
I have not got it dyno'd. The figures probably wouldn't be high though as these types of injection systems can't deliver at high rpm, however they are able to cut back to petrol seamlessly when under load. At around 4500 just as you start to feel the power rolling off it switches and surges ahead on petrol, then falls back. The switch is amazingly transparent though considering the revs. At lower rpm I find it hard to distinguish the power difference and the throttle is just as sharp too. They do make injected systems that can flow enough for high power/forced induction, but they're not cheap.

Well OMVL/BRC are prob the two big ones. OMVL are used heavily in taxis, or at least were at the time I got mine in 2 years ago. I suspect there is a lot of re-branding when it comes to the smaller systems. Sprint Gas are the OMVL distributors and were the ones who eventually tuned my system to work. The installer who put it in had no chance and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone as it took many months and several hundred $ in diagnosis to get the system to work, despite the equipment being fine from the outset. Sprint Gas official policy on Dream systems into non sequential engines (pre Au) is they don't do it. Although when they tuned mine they mechanic said it goes like the clappers and commented that they might have to rethink that policy. The market volume would be too low though in reality. But it does show these systems can work.

He has been very helpful and does a lot of Impco gear. This is ebay store. Shoot him an email and ask him what you want. The way the dollar is at the moment too, its good buying. http://stores.shop.ebay.com.au/Nash-Lif ... QQ_armrsZ1 its more of a problem finding an installer that will fit it rather than actually getting the hardware... ash whats the injection system u fitting to the territory....do you anticipate having issues with the installer
