Not so old holden
By Forrestp 16/06/11@17:15 LetsCruise 3763Hey everyone my daily( vs v6 ute series3) us giving me some trouble lately seems to dieing when accelerate heavily after cruising, it does this on both petrol and gas, I'm thinking it's the o2 sensors as my gas also has a mixture adjustment that gets it's info from the o2 sensors, would a rich or lean mix cause this problem, and could the o2 sensors be faulty without re engine light coming on??

Gas concept on a 202
By Forrestp 16/09/10@22:44 LetsCruise 3763Got a concept I'm thinking of if anyone could offer some advice or done it before, Iv been thinking of Using a 425 impco mixer on a double barrel carb but then I had a thought... What if I use twin 225 on an x2 setup??? Any ideas or pros and cons would be great as this is only in the concept stage and if it's pointless I don't want to waste any time on it

Impco setup on 202
By Forrestp 12/09/10@02:18 LetsCruise 3763Hi everyone got a question for the gas gurus. I've recently rebuilt my 202 an had it setup for gas with a high comp yella terra and a gas cam, I'm currently running a sprint gas setup on top of my very tired single stromberg and wish to go to a straight gas throttle body. I'm thinking of using an impco 425 mixer. Is this going to be to much gas?? What converter and should a run with it and what manifold will I need to suit??? Any help would be great as this is my first engine rebuild!
Thanks fp
