semi-off topic injector question

[jjorgensen52]

Does anyone know if fuel injectors can be used to control low pressure gasses? (ie, hydrogen gas)

What he said, or propane?

Thought about putting my Metro on propane as a test bed and if it worked out trying it on the Syclone for shits and giggles. I've got a line on CHEAP propane close to home...

funny, sounds similar to my plan ... except mine involves a Hyundai, some hydrogen, and a couple of teenage physics kids with too much time on their hands :tup:

Now that we have that outta the way, maybe an we'll get an answer...

I think I've seen someone using big injectors (actually a pair of them) for controlling air going to wastegate actuator with ecu controlled boost curve. I tryied to find that picture and article from internet but couldn't find it at the moment.

So it has been done with low pressure (20 psi ?) air. Should also work with any other gas, I guess.

I would guess if you did a search on Hydrogen cars, you would fine some conversions.

This is more of a see what we can come up with and see how long it takes to blow up plan ... something like the geo turbo :rotf:

I am doing some background research though

Re: semi-off topic injector question

David put a Turbo Colt on propane one time w/ a forklift carb. WHEN it was in one peice, it would scare the hell out of a 5.0 Mustang in a city block. I think he was running 20# or something like that.

One of these days, if he ever gets cleaned up, I need to get him on here.
