long time no post hehehe

sir GH, ask ko lang, how much woud it cost kung iswa swap ko yung current tank ko into toroidal? kahit rough estimate lang...

eto yung itsura nung current tank

No idea on the actual cost, but you might be looking at P6000 for the new toroidal plus new copper lines for the filler & vaporizer lines.

I am assuming you are planning to place the toroidal tank under the Adventure?

yup...kasi kung within the metro lang ang dra drive-in, excess baggage lang yung spare tire since pag nabutasan ka, maitatakbo mo pa yung auto sa vulcanizing naman, and nasasayangan kasi ako sa space na kinakain ng tank sa likod e hehehe...ilalagay na lang yung spare tire sa likod if ever maga out of town.

thanks sir GH...atleast may idea na ako kung sa magkano maglalaro yung price...

I have a Cefiro 2003 Elite fitted with SGI kit by EROOM 2 years ago

Still in good running condition with LPG. Only problem is the engine sometimes stalls in heavy traffic.

Pa check mo lang idle adjustment mo pag na aircon baka mahina . Pag malakas naman malakas din sa LPG iyon lang na obserbahan ko.

Thanks for the reply Ghost and ragsak, I just called david do from EROOM, he informed me that the shop had closed down already.

[ghosthunter]

You can try contacting XOOM Auto-LPG. They are located along Timog Ave in QC.

The place is a Auto-LPG filling station and service shop as well.

Thanks for the quick reply Ghost!

tsikoteers with EROOM kits, saan pwede magpa-service/tune-up? wala na sa makati (coolmate). minsan punta ako econogas tech of sir mike (as referred to by coolmate) sabi technician dun di daw nila kabisado EROOM kit. pinihit-pihit lang idle screw sabay tingin sa tachometer at yun na. wala yung computer na ginagamit sa EROOM. problema ko ngayun namamatayan ako makina pag malamig pa pero pag naitakbo at medyo uminit na ok na.

wala na ba talaga sa Denso Coolmate? Meron dapat silang EROOM kit reader, and trained ang mga tao nila. Pero may bayad na nga lang ang tune-up. Did they reject your request for tune-up outright?

So sad talaga na ni-abandon na tayo ng EROOM. Buti na lang pala napa-palitan ko pa kay David yung vaporizer ko, about 4-5 months ago. That seemed to have solved most of my idling problems. But namamatayan pa rin naman ako on rare occasions. In which case, pinapa-linis ko na kaagad ang air filter.

PM ko nga si Zeagle (Vince Tagle of Coolmate)...

tinawagan ko muna si mang boy para magpa-sked tune-up sana pero sabi nya di na sila (coolmate) gumagawa nun. di na yata in good terms ang coolmate at EROOM. tapos refer nila ako kay mike tagle kaso nung nagpunta naman ako shop ni mike sa araneta sabi tao nya dun di raw nila kabisado EROOM kit at wala daw kanila yung kit reader tapos adjust lang nila idling sa vaporizer. problema ko ngaun after na lumamig makina namamatay siya pagka-start kaya pinapainit ko muna ng bahagya bago larga di tulad ng dati pag na tune-up sa coolmate maganda takbo at wala problema. regular din ako nagpapalinis ng air filter. anyways pasalamat din ako mike for the accomodation.

Mga master , Gusto ko lang magtanong kung mayroon na dito nag paconvert na trooper gas V 6 3.0 gas to LPG. Ano ang performance kung venturi using emulator or SGI, malaki kasi ang diperensiya sa price ng dalawnag kit. I planning venturi na lang ang ipa install , mag kakaproblema nga ba sa backfiring..., I will decide kung ano feedback ng mga naka experience na..Salamat po.

[trooperlpg]

Mga Master, Mayroon na po bang nag pa convert na Trooper V6 3.0 gas dito, Itanong ko lang kung ano ang performance if Venturi using imulator or
yong SGI, Malaki kasi diperensiya sa price, I planning na mag pa install ng
Venturi,mas mababa ang price, ok lang ba? May problema ba sa backfiring ang set up na ito, sana po ma advice nyo ako para makapag decide kung ano yong cost effective na set up pero reliable. salamat po..

[aejhayl17]

may tanung pala ako ulit.

iisa lang ba yung auto lpg and commercial lpg(household lpg)?

and

may octane rating rin ba ang auto-lpg? paano yung mga high compression engines requiring higher octane gasolines?

If the Trooper is carbureted, you don't have a choice. But if it's EFI, SGI is better, but you can still get a venturi kit to work. The only problem is if you experience backfire through the intake with the venturi, goodbye MAF.

Yup. But you can't refill at LPG tank fillers. Iba yung nozzle. Mas mura naman LPG sa pumps.

LPG octane is around 100 plus. There are no local laws requiring stations to give octane rating for LPG, though, so it may vary from station to station. But if your car can run on 97 RON, it can run on LPG. Only danger for high compression engines running huge timing advances is that LPG delivery changes as the fuel level goes down, because the pressure in the LPG tank goes down with the fuel level... so you'll want to keep your tank at least half-full if you run extra timing to take advantage of the high octane of LPG.

Niky,
Thank you sa response , anong parts yong MAF?

[ghosthunter]

Niky,

The sensor of the air intake of your engine. It can be very fragile.

ghosthunter,
Thank you sa info. ,Sir in your experience ok pa rin ba yong
venturi using emulator, and propose installer is greenfuel...:worried:

My venturi kit was installed by NAIADSS. So far my experience with it is fine but it was a rather steep learning curve back then when only a few people have experience with quirks of venturi Auto-LPG kits.

-best to install a new air filter when you have any lpg kit installed.
-a dirty air filter will cause reduced power from engine.
-a dirty air filter will cause the engine to run rich.
-it is possible to over-rev the engine while on Auto-LPG.
-best to have the vaporizer drained once a year to remove accumulated liquids.
-venturi kit WILL reduce peak engine power in both gasoline & lpg because of air restriction cause by the venturi mixer but will not affect day-to-day driving.
