You can't use xr6t pistons on e-gas as the condos have a press fit gudgeon pin and the pistons are full floating design.
Best.bet is to get some Bf 06/06 or newer turbo conrods.as they are the stronger rods. basically same as e-gas.except the gudgeon pin design

i have done one of these only recently and am supervising another one being built.
theres a lot of technical stuff you have to get right to make the GRA system work with pressurised LPG supply and ignition timing, also head sealing is critical, a top end stud kit will help.

let me know when you run into trouble, i am happy to share what i know.
lifes' short, if you aren't doing what you want to do then you need to start now......
