The GasResearch Difference
The GasResearch Gold Series throttle body has been specifically designed
to provide effective gas metering to high capacity, high performance
engines. This is accomplished through the use of a patented gas throttle body
coupled to a specially developed, highly sensitive gas convertor.
The GasResearch Throttle Body utilises a unique LPG metering system to
ensure that your engine is always running with an optimal fuel mixture.
This metering system allows the vehicle to be tuned more accurately, meaning
that the engine will always recieve the correct amount of gas, ensuring excellent
fuel ratio control and therefore better engine efficiency, leading to improved power
and economy (when compared to traditional gas systems).
See the How it works page for more
details on the GasResearch system.

I run a dual fuel carby system now, why should I go straight gas?
There are numerous benefits to running straight gas, the main ones being:
- Less restriction to air flow = better power/economy
With your current setup, i.e. tophat or snorkel on top of a standard petrol carby,
the air must pass through the gas mixer and then the petrol carby, this means
the air is restricted twice regardless of which fuel you run. Running a single
carb with our specially designed diffuser system significantly reduces restriction
to the engine.
- Dedicated tune
When running two different fuels with different octane ratings, you must tune the
engine to be able to run without detonation on either fuel. This means that you are
always seeing a compromise between the correct tune for each fuel. When running
straight gas, you can alter your ignition timing to suit the higher octane fuel,
and hence improve power and efficiency. There are a number of other things you
can do to improve performance when running straight gas, for more info see our
Engine Preparation Guide.

Can I fit GasResearch to my car?
GasResearch systems are suitable for most naturally aspirated (and some
forced induction) vehicles. Kits are available for the more popular
Australian vehicles as can be found on our Prices
page. If your vehicle is not listed, GasResearch recommended installers
(see Fitters) will be able to
adapt GasResearch components to suit your application.

I'm rebuilding / having an engine built, what can I do to make it run
better on LPG?
There are many things you can do to optimise your engine to run on gas, for
guidelines refer to our Engine Preparation Guide.

What about forced induction?
GasResearch systems may be suitable for some forced induction setups, when installed, set up and
tuned by professionals, see our Forced Induction Section
for further details
