Auto-LPG Conversion Thread

[webmiester]

Guys any Lancer 2003 MX CVT owners here who've undergone LPG conversion? I 'm planning to have a kit installed before this year ends. How's your consumption and was the performance the same?

Any inputs about latest prices and the best place to get the kit? Meron na bang retrofitted para dun nalang sa lagayan ng spare tire?

Thanks!

Im not sure if my car, being an older model, has the same engine as yours...

Anyway, there is a tank for the spare tire. Its called a Torroidal tank. It's a little bit more expensive. I didn't go for it because I want to have a spare tire

Sorry guys if I'm not able to back read the last 50+ pages.

To date, saan po pinaka ok magpainstall and which kit is the best in terms of reliability, performance, and warranty.

Planning to have my 03 Lancer MX CVT installed with LPG before this year ends.

I guess that's something we've all been trying to figure out... But maybe you can start by choosing whether you would like an SGI (injected) or a ventrino system... I think the SGI is the best one for your car, if you dont mind spending so much.

As for the kit and the installers, these things we are yet to see as the market progresses. You'll have to choose from Italian, Turkish, Korean, or Indian manufacturers. I personally went to a turkish kit...

Chaud:

very nice webmiester, sana diyan nalang din ako nagpakabit... tsk tsk...

GUSTO KO I-UPGRADE SA AKIN!!! WAHHHHHHHH

sayang iyun nakabitan ng naiadss... sino may gusto bumili?

----------------------

what ba problem mo sa kit mo? ok naman yan ah!

trade in mo nlng sa taxi kaya yun wala pang lpg kausapin mo imbento ka nlng istorya bzta lng maibenta diskarte lng kakagat yun eh ang mahal kya magpalpg ngayon.

or better yet tiis tiis muna dahil ayan palapit na CNG, gas stations nlng kulang dito sa metro manila. madali lng maikakabit ng ating mga suking installers yan. pag nagkataon pa upgrade ko din kit ko.

wala po problema sa kit na naka-install sa car ko... gusto ko lang sana ng SGI, since fuel injected car ko mas maka-achieve ko iyun fuel efficiency compared to the current venturi/carb type installed in my car...

at nagustohan ko iyun switch na kinabit sa car ni webmiester...

ack! double post! hmm.. what to say..

recently aquirred a sentra GX na gagawin taxi. planning on having an SGI kit installed at durasales ata. according to their installer, 50k lang ata. will have feedbacks soon. hehe!

[dencio1976]

When I was refuelling my lpg kit at P25.70/L the taxi next to my car talked to me and told me he was able to refuel at just P22/L in Pasay the morning of that same day. He showed me the reciept which showed the cost was P22/L. The name of the place was ISLAND... Island something...parang Island gas yata...

Anyway, basta may island. It was in Pasay daw, near the Pantranco station. Do you guys have any idea where this is?

Island Gas... landmark is pantranco bus station along edsa. if your coming from taft going to SSH direction, it's to your right. mura nga ang LPG dun accdng to taxi drivers.

Dencio1976 may taxi ka pa carb type na kakabitan ng lpg? baka gusto mo bilhin iyun sa akin...

Naiadss ang kit ko, but my regulator is different from the one's installed in other vehicle... iyun nakikita ko maliit ang regulator kinakabit sa mga taxi's, pero sa akin medyo malaki...

wala ako idea kung magkano running rate ng 2nd hand lpg kits, baka ma-shock kayo pag nasabi ko ng price...

[ghosthunter]

so whats the running rate for 2nd hand LPG kits?

Fuel injected car na gagawing taxi? Ang ganda ng taxi mo pare!

Anong brand kit nila sa durasales?

I heard sa Pureline congressional the carb kit only costs 20k. Yun sabi ng isnag taxi driver na katabi ko when I had my car refueled last time...

There is a NAIADSS LPG station along EDSA near Taft (between taft and roxas part of EDSA). You can have your LPG kit installed here. Takes about half a day to install.

ako di ako masyadong nagpapaniwala sa mga lpg conversion na yan. hindi ka rin makakatipid kc ang mahal mahal ng conversion nito tapos tumataas din ang contract price ng lpg sa world market kaya pati dito nag sisi taasan na rin mga lpg, so pano ka pa makakatipid nyan?

LPG is still 40% cheaper than gasoline. The more often your use your LPG fueled vehicle, the faster you get back your investment.

So if you do 200km a week, then you could be looking at one year. If you drive less (say, around 100km a week, then it would take longer).

Converting your vehicle to run on LPG still saves you money in the medium to long term.

Now if you have some invention to make your existing vehicle go 40% further on the same amount of gasoline and costs much less than P30K, then you might have a good alternative.

If you don't believe in the cost savings of using auto-LPG, then its your loss. Think why thousands of taxi cabs are now running LPG.

not only does it save you on gas money, but more importantly, it also saves the environment. it burns cleaner than regular gasoline. less CO, NOx, particulate matters, etc.

i believe that's the best reason to convert--> save the environment

in the long run makakatipid ka talaga...pero kung di mo masyado ginagamit oto mo lugi ka nga..kaya nga puro mga taxi ang mero niyan...konti lang sa private
