Auto-LPG Conversion Thread

[Redman7]

hi guys.. pde bang i convert ang diesel engine to lpg? mga how much kaya? same lang ang performance at consumption nya? tia..

Sabi po nung installer skin, meron din daw po LPG kit for diesel engine.....

mas mahal nga lang po compared to Gas Engine (Php ~80K ),

And as what ser GH mentioned....mixed po ang fuel for Diesel engine
(70/30; 70% diesel with 30% LPG)......

not really that viable....unless you are looking at reducing your emission.

thanks po sir. agree with you its not viable. imo its more practical to buy a gas fed tsikot and have it converted to LPG than buying a diesel fed car. ive heard lpg kits for gaso cars are down to 20-30k (although depending to the car).. hmm tempting maybe its just for sedans/ hatchbacks. but still its a good price.

AAARRRGGGHHHH just had a whopper of a headache, parang ganito ...

just spent almost 2 days reading the thread from page 1 to page 80:insomnia:... buti na lang i dont read out loud kng nde wla na akong boses ngaun hehehe

anyways, this is ONE very informative and entertaining thread. learned positive things, and also NEGATIVE things as well about auto LPG which directly concerns me.

the negative things?
1. learned that ony 1 Accord VTi-L 2000 was converted. username starts with a "C", can't remember who exactly...
2. no mention whatsoever of installers in Davao

My accord's mileage sucks at around 3.5 - 4 km/l. usual monthly consumption is around 100 liters a month, about 99% city driving. kahit walang traffic, almost all intersections have stoplights so still stop and go. and with 50+ per liter of Caltex Silver, the LPG conversion jumps high above
my list of priorites.

So after reading the entire thread, i have somewhat a more than enough understanding of what the conversion is about. My problem is about the engine itself, since i grew up in 12r's and 4k's, and my experience with efi's is basically ask someone else to do it. So i need to ask those who know Honda engines in particular for help :D

what's the best unit for my car? closed loop or SGI? and how to finetune the f/a mix? what do i need to tell the mechanic, like the buzzwords so that i may appear "learned" and thus not be fooled easily

btw, filling centers are not a problem since almost all of the taxis here are LPG powered, and one thing i noticed... almost all kia's reek of that stale
egg stench, while with the aveos and sentras all are ok. probably because of the overall quality of the newer cars. but there is this kia avila that overtook a lancer struggling up the access ramp, and i noticed that the rpm didn't drop at all! i asked the driver if he's on LPG. he is! ganda ng pagkatono ng taxi nya hehehe and that was with A/C on!

thanks!

SGI ka na ser ; this kit comes with an ECU;
you wont need any manual tweaking; computerized po ang tuning.

[Redman7]

80 pages in 2 days?!..

i would say you were hit by the LPG Bug as well...he,he,

would recommend you get your lpg kit done asap ser...

para tangal ang sakit ng ulo mo...he,he,

ako enjoy na ulit mag-pa full tank...always below 1K full tank na !

[Elroi]

before refueling, kelangan ba ubos laman ng tank or u can refuel anytime?

* sir GH: ilan liters capacity ng "donut" tank? what's the maximum capacity ng donut tank? di ba prone na pasukin ng debris yung filler nozzle?
