September 9th, 2008 04:33 PM #11Thanks Xoom and GH.
Sana nga may 60L toroidal sila but I'm guessing walang available.
So if its a 40L tank, the useable amount would roughly be just 30L.
My FC on gasoline is 10.5km/L (last fill up ko).
So on LPG on my Mazda 3 lets say 8km/L lang siya.
My range would be 240km per fill up. Hmm that'll last maybe 3 to 4 days tops.
Called them up and I told lorna kung pwede sa kin nalang yung 55L toroidal na dadating=) pumayag naman. (increases my range to 330km)
I hope the conversion of my car goes well.
Here's an experience I had driving the Camry my dad converted to LPG yesterday. (Coding kasi car ko) On my way to the office at around 930am all was fine and it could even reach 100kph like gasoline.
Upon entering the parking ramp and getting the ticket from stop. The car had a hard time rev'ing up but I was able to park. So I thought... that was weird.
Ok on my way home at around 730pm it was raining really hard. So I thought hey this is good, LPG supposedly runs better in colder conditions.
So from Pioneer upto Buendia, all was fine then there was heavy traffic approaching the underpass of edsa cor ayala. It was crawling. So ok lang. Then after a few mins from STOP the car was losing power again, having a hard time rev'ing up. A few meters forward STOP ulit then Go ulit, the car was having a hard time rev'ing up when its on Drive and Stopped for a while. On my 4th attempt, it was really having a hard time to Rev up..... the car stalled. Turned off everything after less than 5 secs I started the car on Gas.. Vroom... No problem...
Approaching the incline of Magallanes the car automatically switched to LPG...toink! I was able to climb Magallanes but I definitely do not have the power, so parang Diesel siya umakyat...hehe bagal.
Traffic was moving fast again and the LPG was fine again from Nichols all the way to Alabang. WEIRD.
I told my dad the camry still needs to be fined tuned it looks like it has problems when STOPPED and on Drive for a long time.
Here's my question regarding SGI kits...
For example on my Mazda 3 it has a O2 sensor. Does the A/F mixture "Adapt" / Change in real time based on how my engine is doing?
Does the ECU do this thing?
I'm thinking sana my Mazda 3 conversion has less problems kasi its a newer model that's more compatible with the SGI kit.
In the case of my dad's camry the A/F mixture is like Pre Defined so it doesn't know to change the A/F mixture when needed?
Does it act like a SGI kit? or like a Open Loop lang? (na Fuel Injected)
And also edit option is not allowed anymore :grin:
