I have found info on the use of LPG in water cooled and stationary air cooled engines , but no instances where a 914 has been adapted to run on it.
While LPG is higher in octane, it has a lower BTU rating so Mpg would suffer. That said trying to determine the other ways a Type 4 would be affected by using LPG. More longevity, more/less hp, run hotter or cooler...... Besides the conversion from a fuel delivery standpoint, would there be any changes needed from a cam, timing standpoint? Did do a search and found no info specific to running a 914 on LPG, if you are aware of a link to a build or further info regarding the question I would appreciate if you would post it here. Thank you |
