RS6 ON L.P.G FINISHED

Post by grizz » Fri Apr 03, 2009 7:15 pm

We've just finished a sequential gas injection on a rs6 saloon.
The results are very promising. :wink:

More results will follow when we've completed the running i processes.

V interesting as I was told by another RS6 owner this was impossible - however so should realize that the impossible is nothing to Grizz!

Happy to say LPG powered RS6 is going like a dream...

1 tank of fuel down, mpg is good and there is no noticeable difference in performance, engine is smoother and sounds quieter....

That sounds great. Didnt think it could be done with turbos. Shows what I know. What does it cost ? I ve got a Landcruiser on lpg, 4.7l and it works superbly so I would be dead keen to look at my RS6 getting done.

LPG doesn't need any changes to the cars main systems, this system basically generates an lpg fuel map by matching the std cars map then converting it based on the dynamics of lpg, however this is then taken further by allowing a percentage of petrol to be introduced based on the throttle position, engine load and rpm of the engine. Run the car with a light foot and it will use 100%lpg, start to push it harder and it will then add petrol up to the full and maximum load where it will be running 100% petrol.

We've refitted the battery and fitted a doughnut tank in the spare wheel well in the boot .
