Shortyz thanks for those links. I didn't see the pro pain kit before now. There is really some good info there and even the ipo kit seems to really do a good job. I hope to be running a kit soon so I will let everyone know how I make out.

after reading all that i will conclude that its not worth your time to do it.

the intake temps only drop about 2f with gas just being put in. sure its a higher octane but your car turns into hiroshima if you get into a wreck.

why not just use a basic refridgerant like r134a or whatever is legal now, or freon cause its way better.

then use a heater core and an expansion valve, itll turn that heater core into ice and your intake temps will be massivley low.

i am really leaning on air/water now because some guy posted how his intake temps dropped 20f because of his air/water. and air/water is 14 times more efficient then air/air.

Im more interested in the fact you can run alot more boost with pump gas. Having a gsr I am limited to about 10psi and I really would like to get close to 15psi out of it. Try to push the 350whp mark. I'm either running a big PWR intercooler or a homebuilt water to air. Still not sure yet. Where did you see the 2*f post? The 3si guy is able to run 7 pounds more boost with no knock. To me that is really great. I am not overly concerned about having the propane in the car. I will make sure its fastened down really well and away from the sides. I'm also doing some research into converting my whole system over to propane. Still not positive on the costs but I think its pretty reasonable. I hate gasoline companies and the fact that they have everyone by the short and curlies.. Anything I can do to not support them I am all for.

todd.. uhm why cant u just buy a 50 gallon drum of toulene its only 200$ while that propane crap is gonna cost like over 600 man..

i know a guy who runs 94 octane in his gsr turbo and 15psi at the track he has no problems. with hondata of course.

what u got for fuel management? with the toulene added to 94 u can get like 107 octane or something, and its way cheaper then that friggin racegas.

If you mix that 30% with 93 octane it comes out to 100 octane. Where can I get a 50 gallon drum of it? I will be running a chip im my car to tune with. Is that a stock gsr that is running that much boost? I'm just saying I like the propane setups and I wouldn't mind giving it a try. If I get it and it doesn't work like expected then fine. If it works like I think it will then even better.
