Auto-LPG Conversion Thread

[ajsnz13]

No, I have not yet installed an LPG system but read somewhere that one can expect a power loss. Anyways, I do intend to install an LPG system in my old classic. It has a Ford small-block V8 engine, 4-barrel carburetor and a 4.7 liter displacement.

Please email me at woodfire*info.com.ph as soon as you have a good system and tuning tools. I don't want to experience "power/torque loss" with the LPG system, hence, your tuning tools will be a great help.

Btw, a system I know of uses two vaporizers for V8-carbureted muscle engines

thanks again woodfire,will email you when we start our operation on the second week of september.we will also be carrying the complete line of equipments for our lpg kits,because i do not believe in just the method of feel and adjust,or vice-versa.equipments are important to get the right timing and performance on your engine.as for your V-8 engine,we have kits for your vehicle.before we use to install two vaporizers in a V-8 engine.now we have a kit that uses only one vaporizer to meet all the demand of your engine,without really sacrificing power and economy.you could email me anytime too in aj_snz13*yahoo.com.thanks once again woodfire.

To carb guys, expect a 5-10% decrease in power and the same percentage INCREASE in mileage. However, LPG is a cheaper fuel....hence the validity of savings.

To EFI guys, no change in power and just a slight increase in mileage. I was at Ambient today they made a template for my W124, sadly I have to wait for the toroidal (donut) shaped tank. So, it's October for me...

I went to ambi yesterday..they looked at my car and said it would take 1-2 weeks to order some parts from europe daw for my 123 benz..i'm pretty excited to get it converted..pwede daw ung conventional tank para sa kotse ko.

Hope they offer their kits at more reasonable prices.

unfortunately they mentioned prices start from P80k. They didn't mention what type of kits though, I assume its comparable to the previously mentioned italian lpg kits.

yup mine's a w123 2.8.. well as of now they qouted it to be around the 30k range. napamahal na nga yan ng unti kasi they had to order extra kasi ung hood ko mashado masikip and they need to order extra parts so that they could convert it properly..il just keep u guys updated.

good day fellow motorists, just want to share some of my observations/experiences regarding lpg conversion. i had my 98 crv converted to lpg/gas at naiadds last july 18. cost me p31,000. since then i got a better understanding of using autogas. it's a little bit hard to start the engine in the morning when the engine is still cold. i followed the advice of one of the forumers to start the engine using gasoline and switch to lpg after a while. as for the mileage, with gasoline i got around 6 to 6.5km/ltr, with lpg about 5i to 5.2 km/ltr. so return on investment around 13,000 km.
before i decided to have my car converted, i first look for lpg retailers near our place. i found out that there are two taxi operators here in valenzuela who have dispensers and they can accomodate me. no use converting to lpg if i have to go to out of the way places just to fill up. just this week a gas station along mac arthur highway (bbb) started to sell autogasat 25.50/ltr. so more convenient for me. for those in mandaluyong/san juan area, petron shaw-wack wack also sell autogas at 24.95/ltr.

good day. workmanship so so. it's good that i was early that day and seeing that my unit's not a taxi they assigned their expert to do the job. the guy told me that my unit's the third crv he converted. the first one's most difficult because they had to find suitable position for the tank bracket. they had fabricate steel angular brackets for the lpg tank to be properly connected to the flooring. so if you wouldn't like to have a minimum of four holes bored through your car's flooring, lpg conversion not for you.
at naiads, taxi is their field of expertise. if your car is sentra, corolla, pride, it would only take them about three to four hours i think, but for cars they rarely convert, almost whole day job. for the tune up, screw driver is the only tool the korean used. gut feel only.
