Twin turbos plus propane would be awesome. Alot of people talk more about Nitrous, but I dont know propane sounds better, not that many people have it or talk about which makes it stand out. The 1st twin turbo gs did like 500 rwhp, I think this would bring it up to like 560 - 600 rwhp, that would be blistering fast. Check it out:

Nitrous is used as an oxygen source (so you can inject more fuel).

Propane is used as fuel itself (in addition to gasoline, I assume). Sounds kind of risky and experimental to me.

Nitrous is the proven and tested method to kill your engine, why switch to propane???

 

I'm going out on a limb here... Propane is heavily used in turbo diesels. Do a google search, propane is heavily used as a power adder. From what I can tell, on conventional engines propane injection is used much like water injection to cool the air intake temperature. I have heard of people doing this but never personally seen it done.

 

I have seen it installed on a truck with a turbocharger. It added about 75 hp to the dyno. The truck was diesel though, this is the only one I have seen for a gasoline engine.

 

Propane is to turbo diesel what N2o is to gas...
A little power addative....
However jaymode is right in that you can power a vech entirely by propane for a jump in power > downside is aval. of propane and cost.

 

no I am not talking about powering a car only on propane. It is like nitrous oxide but seems like propane is easier to find and maybe cheaper, I am not sure how much it costs to refill a nos tank. If you read the info at that link, it states it is good for any turbocharged/supercharged setup. It sprays propane into the injection I believe. The tank is a regular propane tank from home depot. I just thought it would be cool if people said I got propane when everyone else says "i g0tz mad NoS y0!!"

 

That is pretty cool I didnt even check out the link...
I wonder why we havent heard of it before ?

 

Nitrous is not a proven and tested method to kill your engine. Poor installation and tuning of a nitrous system is a proven and tested method to kill your engine.

I have used nitrous on four stock bottom-end (crank, rods, bolts, pistons) vehicles, two of which were dry-system 11 second daily drivers. I never had a nitrous-related problem with any nitrous equipped vehicle I ever owned (or performed an install on). Key rules to follow during install for reliable performance:

1. match fuel to air through O2 / EGT sensor tuning
2. avoid wet systems that inject nitrous/fuel upstream of intake manifold on port fuel injected vehicles
3. rpm activated on-off switch (on 3000rpm, off 200rpm before rev limiter)
4. WOT operation (throttle position activated microswitch)
5. Hobbs fuel pressure safety switch
6. Jet system to add no more than +3/8 stock HP (dyno, not advertised) on stock bottom-end (can vary depending on strength of bottom-end components and compression)

 

Well put....by far the quote of the week....finaly someone agrees with me....
