Auto-LPG Conversion Thread

[ghosthunter]

noon talaga takot ako kalikutin etong lpg buti tinuruan me nun lagi ko pinapatonohan and of course tsikot peeps---tulong tulong tyo sa pagkalikot hehe. tnx ghost dun sa half a turn technique mo di naituro sakin yun ah ksi lagi 1/4 ikot ko nyek halos walang epek yun pala half turn ng screw. pero kng maamoy yun lpg dun pa rin ba adjustan nun bawas lng hangang hindi na umamoy gaano tama ba?

I tend to use half turns of the adjustment screw until I reach a level that I want. Then using 1/4 turns to fine tune the adjustment. Usually, once you have adjusted your LPG kit to a level you like, you won't need to re-adjust it anymore. If on a much later time, your engine is running a bit poor (and the exhaust smells strongly of LPG) just replace or clean your engine's air filter.

Is it true? may nakausap kasi akong taxi driver ng Ken-Ken. Yung operator daw nila binalik lahat ng taxi sa gasoline, lugi daw kasi sa maintenance.

Ang lakas daw MAKASIRA ng MAKINA ang LPG lalo na yung ENGINE BLOCK!!!

My car's maintenance has been the same before & after it was converted to run on LPG. The only difference is the increased interval of air filter cleaning.

Yes... malakas makasira ng makina ang LPG lalo na if it was set to run too LEAN all the time.

This particular concern has already been discussed to death & resurrection somewhere in this thread. Kindly read the thread so we won't look stupid repeating already answered questions on the said topic.

meron na daw po ayon sa ating ibang kasamang tsikoteer na nadaan sa naiadss basa basa lng po sa previous posts wala na kasi uli update sila.

just got my car's lpg tuned by me as instructed by ghost and it is ok na! sa mga nakacarb you can do it yourself basa basa lng sa previous posts. just remember regularly clean your air filter(na hindi ko madalas gawin dati) at hwag masyado lean sa pagtono.

ang laki pala ng epekto ng lpg screw na yun sa power ng oto lalo na yun rpm pag sobrang sakal, yun tendency is kahit anung piga mo sa accelerator mo ayaw umangat gaano as in! hangang 1000 or 2000 rpm lng

hehe! ive personally met kenneth lopez. ive heard nga na bumalik sa gas ang taxi's nila.

about 2yrs ago, sila din nagencourage na magLPG kami. actually, sila yung reason why i posted dito sa LPG thread. they've encountered problems related to cylinder head and earlier rupturing of valve/oil seals. as ive found out, this is due to lean mix. hindi kasi maiwasan na ganun ang gusto ng driver for fuel saving purpose. matipid gas ng drivers, pero operator nagsusuffer. unang makikita dyan is maputi ang sunog ng sparkplugs siguro. then pag nagworsen, may oil fouling na. mga typical problems encountered ng overheating.

so mga steps i took was to make sure hindi lean yung mix. 2nd, made sure na maganda ang condition ng engine like it's compression. tapos yung ignition timing binalik ko sa stock at about 10degrees. so far parang gasoline na siya. ang badtrip lang sa LPG sa taxi is madalas tumirik because of electrical related problems. yung iba simpleng switch, others putok ang fuse.

aside from that, ok naman. ive personally tested how LPG runs. napansin ko ganda hatak niya on high rpms as tested with an SGI macro kit on a nissan sentra 07.

wow! haba pala thread dito. anyway, my sister is converting cars to LPG system. so far, naconvert namin ang house car namin such as toyota corolla XE, honda civic, and toyota vios.

Sa totoo lang, 30 years na itong LPG technology around the world kaya madami na sobrang brands and manufacturer. Madami sa mga nagkakabit ng LPG ngayon hindi maganda ang gawa. Hindi na ako magmmention wahaha.

Anyway, ung toyota corolla ang pinakamadalas na ginagamit ko na car. Pinakabit ng sister ko ung corolla ng Turkey na brand. Sa totoo lang madali kabitin pero minsan mahirap kasi madami adjustments na gagawin (carburator kasi). Pero so far naman satisfied ako kasi more or less, same lang milage tapos ung power naman siguro mga 2% lang ung drop. Well nakakaakyat pa naman siya sa mga steep uphill so ok na siguro yon.

Then right now, may nahanap sis ko sa Taiwan naman na supplier. Iba talaga ang system pero ang laki ng ginanda. So pinakabit namin yung vios and civic using the Taiwan system. Ang ganda ng takbo. No difference! Kung ayaw mo maniwala, test drive mo haha. Pero pinaalis lang ng sa vios kasi wala na space sa trunk haha. O well, pangtest lang kasi. Ok sya kasi kahit umaandar, 1 press and magsswitch na to LPG or back to gas.

I could go on and on pero mas maganda siguro if sister ko nalang kausapin niyo. pahirapan nyo buhay niya sa mga tanong haha. Siya kasi mas technical dyan e.

sir, patanong po. ano ano pong sensors nakatap ang SGI kit ng Green Auto LPG? bale ano ano yung feedbacks going to the LPG ECU?

[Choppee]

Hi guys had my accord 2000 2.0 vtec converted by my team to LPG since last december. It runs smoothly lalo pagnaka LPG na don't feel any performance lag or anything. SGI system yung kinabit ko..with 60li tank. Full Tank fills-up to around 50-53 liters then consumption is at around 5-6 city driving, 6-7 long drives with A/C. LPG injectors emulate the Petrol Injectors so when switching you won't feel a thing. Also converted a Volvo 96 and a Corolla 98. BTW, for those that are interested in donut type tanks have 45li and 55li varieties that fit on the cars spare tire space.

Your Honda Accord is a fuel guzzler if your highway fuel mileage is really just 6-7 km/L.

Changed some components of the engine a long time ago before converting.. have headers and a racing filter installed. Might have some effect but don't really think it should matter much. Hows your car performing? Whats your car's tank size and what kind of system did you install?

My car:
1999 Toyota Corolla GLi 1.6L A/T
engine mods: cone filter, headers, 2.25in exhaust piping, low restriction aftermarket catalytic converter, custom design full stainless freeflow muffler.
Wheels: 195/55/15

LPG system:
NAIADSS carb type LPG kit with EFI adapter box.
Tank size: 60L

Fuel mileage:
City: 5-6km/L (a/c on)
Highway: 8-11km/L (a/c on)

So far the car performs well, overtaking is not a problem. Top speed achieved is about 165kph which is roughly the same when fueled with gasoline.

Im using a 1997 Mitsubishi Lancer GLXi
engine is a 1.6L fuel injected.
Muffler, headers, air filter, spark plugs are all stocks or stock equivalent
LPG system is an Aldessa SGI system with 60L tank provided by Green AutoGas converted Oct 2007

Mileage:
City: 8-10 km/L (my latest one is 9.6 km/L)
Haven't used the car extensively in the highway yet.

oxygen sensor lang ang tinatap ng Green Auto LPG. Ok feedback kasi halos wala diffrence sa performance. If meron sobrang minimal lang na halos hindi napapansin. Smooth ang takbo.

Hi Shalom,

Nice to hear that Sharon is now importing a second brand. Paano yung dealership ninyo with Aldessa, is it still alive? Also, are the taiwanese kits cheaper than the turkish ones? Nakalipat na ba kayo sa Quezon City?

May tita is considering to have an LPG Kit installed sa Lynx nya. nagtatanong sya sa kin kung ano magandang brand ipa-install. I've read before about SGI and Closed Loop, ano ba ang pwede ipa-install sa tsikot nya? btw, it's 2002 or 2003 lynx ghia. anybody here have experience with LPG kit in lynx or experience with service of Denso regarding LPG Kit installation, please share your experience.

salamat!

[Isuzu_JP]

i have a corona na LPG equipped, Tomasetto Achile brand, tanong ko lang, may ginagalaw ba sa wiring sa may throttle body pag convert, napansin ko kasi, may 3 wire na putol, dko sure kung sinadya o accidental.

From what I know, any wiring that needs to be by-passed would have a socketed connector to the LPG system so if you decide to remove the LPG system, it would be very clean.

Maybe you can have your car checked to see where those cut wires supposed to be connected to.

You might want to check with your tita on the monthly or weekly distance driven by the car. Why? Its just to see if its worthwhile for her to have the car converted.

As for the choice of LPG kit, I hope your tita knows the price difference between the SGI & carb type kits. It might come to a shock to her if she finds out that the SGI kits typically costs P50K for her car.
