Alcohol Injection VS Propane VS Enriching the Injection Pump

[39Ronin]

As per Flexboli's suggetion here is a new thread about Alcohol Injection vs Propane vs Enriching the fuel...

So far as it stands alcohol injection has had almost no affect on the Delica, just from what I read... I don't have first hand knowledge of this.

Propane seems to according to Jesse but also comes at a cost. You get fuel economy but the numbers should be offset with the fact that you have to buy propane and consume it so those numbers need to be factored in.

Cranking the fuel delivery screw, run a WVO system and burn up that free Veggie...well I think is the best.

Hi 39Ronin and all.

First hand experience on the water/meth has not been great so far. Only good thing about the whole process was spending time with other guys (Jay, Christine, Fexlboi, golfcart...) to install that kit! I don't give up on it yet but hard to work on when I'm thousands of km away from Mitsushi!

Second hand experience on the propane injection. When travelling in Australia I chatted with taxi drivers using this system. Turns out a lot of them where using it and where quite happy with it (mostly for fuel saved). I guess you save more diesel than you use propane so that's where it becomes beneficial.

Cheers from Sweden!

I'm in Uppsala, really cool town near Stockholm... I'm sure you know! Never seen so many blond girls in my life!

The amount of propane a Delica with the 2.5 4L will use is small.

Wayne said theirs (when they had it) went through just under 4 full tanks of diesel for every bottle (small coleman green 1L bottle).

MPG and HP went up considerable to offset the initial cost.

It's the one system I would put in mine had I have the time and place to do it.

Yahoo, we are going to be doing some intercooler and propane injection installs early next month on both my Nissan and a friends Toyota. Found a shop that'll install a new intercooler, air intake and new exhaust for 20,000 baht; or 30,000 ($980 CND) with stainless intake routing with propane system install. They might even through in a boost gauge for the 30,000 baht quote! I'll take pictures.

Found this shop having a motorcycle rack made, and they were adding the above to a L200 2.5L pickup. That day they were in the tuning stages, adjusting the boost and tweaking the fuel delivery screw, creating a 2.5 Mitsi engine that really pulled hard. On my short ride was really surprised how hard that truck went up through the first three gears; and next it'll get a propane (LPG) injection system. Propane systems are added only for the preformance enhancement only; passin power on the highway is all important I've been told. I can't wait to see what they use for the injection, as they don't buy kits for this.
