Hi there Anthony.
I to did at lot of ringing around to find out a bit more on the gas injection system for the v8 as ive been told that the v8 doesnt take
well to the normal gas conversion (through the throtlebody) as it tends to back fire and take out all oxy sensors and air box pluss the air sensors in the thotlebody (BIG TIME Exprensive Repair).It also puts the valves through the piston when back fires.Only 2 gas installers would install the gas kit to the v8 cruiser here in
Newcastle and about 5 said no way would theye touch it.
Then after alot of looking and research on the internet i found two companys that do the gas injection in Australia.
I first spoke to one (STI Industries) and they needed 2million doolars to get it off the ground (exspensive conversion).
Then i got onto
John at Purnell gas in Melbourn and he said that the never done one before and thast he would call me back on more info if he would do it or not.
Aweek later he called and said that he would do it and that hew hade to organise the RTA in
sydney for the ADR inspection and that he would do a deal on price if i let him use my cruiser as the first one in Australia.
He phoned last week and said that he will do it in
sydney on the 18th of july.
I will keep you posted on how it goes and if its worth it in the end and how much its going to cost.
So please stay in contact i i will keep you up to date.
Cheers Ken
