Are you able to supply just a rear arb?
Good to hear of another one on the Island
You are correct about us not having all the equipment for the full set up on this project - that is why I've already spoken to OMVL who will be able to take care of this for me and have evry peice of...
Been there done that and they dont drive any different. Poor kit/installer is the most likely cause.
400BHP from 8 cylinders is only like 200BHP from a 4 banger
Its good to see the response so far (even though no takers).
I have spent quite a bit of time thinking about how to do this and what is going to be needed.
The egt's can be lowered by water...
As far as I am aware around 300 BHP is the highest power output to have been converted so far on a 4 cylinder car.
I have available very high flowing gas injectors and high output pressure...
I'm looking for some with between 400 - 500 bhp on tap (4cyl car) who would be interested in a LPG conversion at a very good price!
I am after proving that it can be done but I'm in a bit of a...
Can definatly be LPG'd
Lambda of 0.84 uder acceleration is normal. You should see anywhere between 0.8 - just under 1.00 while under these conditions.
Do you know what your fuel trims are?
The problem you have is if...
Honda's even have valve/seat problems when running normal unleaded - thos os also true to most fords and some toyota's.
I do find it quite common for cars tuned cars to run more power on LPG we...
The Volvo estate is well worth while option. I would go for a XC70R if you can find one. They are very quick pleanty of room and on LPG are cheep to run.
Oh by the way the subaru engine is fine on...
Why not convert the 200 to LPG?
Will cost over your buget but will save you loads in the long run.
I have had a chat with the software engineer that designed the new systmems ecu. The way it works when it sees the petrol injectors @ full duty it does exactly the same and holds the gas injectors...
As the problem is not there on LPG it would mean you can rule out the ignition. LPG needs a stronger spark to ignite the fuel so if coils were to blame then it would be worse on LPG. Most things such...
I have had one complaint from a cuatomer who could NOT get radio 3 after conversion. :eek: I would never have noticed.
The tax on LPG will only go up by 1p per litre for the next 3 years. I cant see this changing as there is pleanty of funds to be made through petrol sales (unless all you guys convert and half uk...
Kev do you find that you need stiffer spring damper rates with the LPG tank in the back?
On my volvo I run my dampers @ a stiffer setting than all the other lads with them - if they turn theirs up...
I've never meased egt's on a any engine running lpg - it would be interesting to see how much differece there is. I have never seen a engine running on lpg burn out valve's other than when the fuel...
WOW! so many questions in so little time.
Yes LPG will normaly give you a very small power drop - around 2% but this is not always the case some cars we have converted end up making more power on...
Of course I remember,
it would be a good idea to upgrade to the 8mm pipe and service the reducer at the same time. I now have some spare bits that would allow us to up the gas pressure to full wack....
The main resons for not running on LPG only are
the reducer needs engine heat to convert the liquid lpg to vapour.
cold starting is not as easy as on petrol and fuel regulation is not good when...
Rich,
well worth getting the injectors upgraded and ecu to match. You will need to get the LPG remapped to suit as the petrol injection times will have dropped so the relationship needs to be...
As you may know clai has had 555 injectors fitted together with a remap to suit. The injection times are now much more sensible and no where near timing out. With a little tweaking on the gas map (it...
I think the petrol ecu is unprepared for this to happen and just tries to put in more fuel but cant. The gas ecu see's this happen and switches back to petrol (in the case of OMVL) What the gas ecu...
It would seem like that is your problem.
You have the BRC system and need the programming lead etc??
I do have some BRC contacts still as I used to use them but had a lot of quality problems with...
