This is amazing, cost isnt an issue. Im determined to prove a point here. But what I need to know is how do they rate the flow on these injectors being that they don't flow liquid and if doing a rail setup like this if it deletes the need for a reducer (the mecanisim that takes it from 3600 psi to 5psi) and what fpr ect. So many grey areas but so close to reality.
Also I found a couple forums stating they are good for 55hp each, in which case you would need to run two per cylinder to make real power.

i was thinking about 11:1 for a boosted app. the valves need to be grinded at a different angle to reduce wear with ng. also the seats need to be of stellite also or the will wear prematurely. there are kits out there that run their own ecu for the ng. the flip of the switch your back to oem petrol.

Results? I know this is an old thread, but did anyone ever do this or get any results? I'm very interested in doing this myself as I'm about to pick up a gas converted Tahoe. Please chime back in...!

There were a couple of threads a while back, I think in the boosted section, of a couple of trucks with turbo CNG setups. I think they used older mixer ring type installs.
