Yesterday I finally got un-lazy and started/finished my propane install. But I went a different way, Dual-Fuel. Why some may ask? Its because my first experience with propane(a subaru) was great just alway a pain when it ran out of fuel. So enough jibberjabberramblings, heres my one most informative picture....

So what I did was remove the mixer portion from trusty Impco CA-100, build an adapter plate to bolt it on to the top the the FI throttle body. Then procede with the regular propane install(tank, fuel lock, line, vaporizer, then carb/mixer). So how does this all work, basically dont power up the ECU and it runs on LPG, power up the ECU and turn off the LPG and its running on regular petrol. Simple.
I am very impressed at how easy and simple this all works. Works equally as good as EFI, and cleaner, cheaper, less invasive.... Also does anybody know of a good rebuild kit avalilble with high comp pistons, and how much material you can safley remove from the head?
