carburador to efi??

if you like an efi engine better benta mo na lang yang exsisting car mo and bili ka na lang ng honda vti. less hassle

change the engine and install an efi engine na from the get go. conversion will be a huge hassle to get it to work right.

LPG is probably the best option. conversion is tricky and expensive.

i wonder... what if i run out of LPG on a long journey? possible for me to switch back to regular petrol anytime? is the switchover seamless?

normally there is a switch to activate/deactivate the lpg naman so switching from one to another should be no problem.

kung gusto mo makatipid sa gas.
swap your engine na lang to a lower one (if lxi mo is 1.5, try mo nalang yung 1.3)
dunno lang mechanics nyan kung bolt on lang or me coconvert pa sa installation.

sir, option lang ito... theres a d15b vtec-e engine, its implementation is economy. it just uses 12 valve for normal driving then when you step on the gas lalabas yung pagka 1500 niya.

not so sure about the FC pero mukang matipid from the description.

my 2 cents

For EFI engines, gasoline/LPG switch over is seemless. But for carb engines, when switching from gasoline to LPG, you have to first use up the gasoline inthe carb before switching to LPG. It's not something you can do on the fly but it would take less than half a minute to complete.

unless the difference in FC is 40%... auto-LPG conversion still offers the best savings. No need to change your car's documents and no hit or miss when you are getting a surplus engine either.
