LPG Volvo 122 b23et turbo problem
So I have not long just put up a thread regarding this car, as the title suggest I have a 122 turbo LPG.
I have considered going back to petrol due to ease and I have alot more knowledge about petrol and diesel. The car has a real flat spot when under load below 3k rpm if I want to accelerate quickly, it just looses all power and sometimes back fires. Also I would like some boot space back, as there is a 80L? Tank in it which is huge. The car is using a megajolt ignition ecu, TD04-T16 turbo, vx3 cam and adjustable cam gear. The lpg side is, gas Reaserch converter (B2) and mixer GRA440. I have been getting part to convert it back to petrol, but on the other hand if I can get it to run on gas well, it would save me the headache of converting it back. So with the symptoms of it bogging down, could it possable be the turbo is to big and I'm getting to much air to fuel mix? Any input weather good or bad will be appriciated. Cheers Gavin |

Actually never thought of that, could possably disconnect the intake from the turbo so it's not forced Induction just N/A and leave the turbo connected to the exhaust.

Replace the VX3 with a A, B or D.
Are you using a MBC? What kind of LPG injection? |

The system is distributeless, running megajolt edis from a ford. The car ticks over very smooth and drives great under normal condition if I'm not hammering it.
The car has carburettors and os a blow through system mounted on the inlet manifold. |

VX3 would not be a cam of choice for making drivable power but not likely your problem here.
More photo's would help identify your issue but I would say the main thing is the fact you are running blow through. To go blow through the vapouriser has to be balaced to manifold pressure and getting the balance right is VERY hard and often will not work in all conditions Suck through will give much more reliable fuel mixture but if you do have a backfire it will be much bigger |
