Anyone Try Propane Injection

[AzBoostin]

Just curious if anyone has tried using propane injection on their truck... I have used it on my old eagle talon with good success and would, like to try it again....

Re: Anyone Try Propane Injection

What would be the point of using it? (I dont know why they use it, I'm really asking..)
Is it just to cool down the intake temps or is it like using nitrous?

It does cool down the intake temps, but its like adding very high octane fuel in a gas form, say anywhere form 110-140 octane..... Can be great for running pump gas on the street and high boost. and some other stuff....

why not just get a meth or alky kit?

That was going to be my orginal reply. But I didnt know if it was going to be used as a nitrous type of additive.

Meth works just fine for everyone now. So I dont see it being very well used. :dunno:

For a gasoline turbocharged engine I would suggest methanol injection.

If you have a diesel turbocharged enigne... propane is the methanol of the diesel world.

propane is not that good for MAT temp reduction. use meth or alky. bg tried it years ago when they first came out.

140 octane??

Not sure where you get that number from.....

I was tempted to make a propane kit for myself, but once I tried alky.....it was plenty fine for me. In fact, I hit 26psi on pump gas with denatured alky bought at Home Depot. :tup:

on 91 octane I can get away with under 15psi w/o knock. On the same gas I can run 30psi w/o knock and am pretty convinced I could do the same on mid grade or possibly even regular. With gas prices where they are I would have tried already if I drove my Typhoon daily.

I _highly_ doubt propane makes pump gas 140 octane.

Re: Anyone Try Propane Injection

the 140 was just a number thrown out i was thining 110 on average but not sure.... But from what you guys are saying I am going to go with an alky kit....

Re: Anyone Try Propane Injection

I plan on running propane as soon as i get my engine back and tuned to pump gas. Octane is more along the lines of 108 if your running 93 octane. GB's kit better work cause im the one that bought it haha
