Re: Someone to transfer LPG kit - same engine

It's a BRC sequent 24. I'm in nottingham - don't mind travelling a bit though if necessary
I'd rather get someone else to do it in case it needs new fittings/pipes then they will have some and it would be done straight away and if it needs tweaking on the laptop.

Cheers

Someone to transfer LPG kit - same engine

Hi guys

I have an LPG kit on my car and would like it transferring to another car I have bought. Same engine, Same ECU etc.
I know I could do this myself/get a mechanic to do it but I need an LPGA certificate for insurance so i'd only have to take it to someone that could issue one of those anyway ...

Re: Vaporizer questions (BRC)

Bit of a follow up to this as I hate it when threads don't have a conclusion!

I had the injectors ultrasonically cleaned and tested and they were all ok. all had the same resistance too which is good.
Eventually got round to replacing the diaphragm.

The car now starts on the button and no gas is ...

Re: Vaporizer questions (BRC)

Yes gas is still coming out. From the end that connects to the inlet manifold - this is a Y piece - one goes to the vap and the other goes to the pressure sensor thing.

Re: Vaporizer questions (BRC)

Small update:
I took the "new" vapouriser apart as a practice before i tackled mine. several of the screws snapped off in the process. I found that the "new" diaphragm was not split and it was relatively clean in there.

Worried of snapping screws on my unit that I use i squirted WD40 on them ...

Re: Vaporizer questions (BRC)

I have just bought a second hand unit (BRC Genius) which I hoped would tide me over until I could afford to sort it out properly with a new one.
My replacement second hand unit is a 1200mbar... my old one is a 1500 mbar, does this mean I can not swap them over? also the sensor plug is different but ...

Re: Vaporizer questions (BRC)

OK I take it they will have different model numbers then?
Sounds like it would be best to try and repair mine though, I've had a google and cant find a overhaul kit anywhere - including the BRC site. Will try sending them an email.

Re: Vaporizer questions (BRC)

Thank you for your reply.

Any ideas as to where I could buy a repair kit from?

So it is possible to use a different brand reducer (If I was to buy one brand new)? I think I may have found a used BRC one but I am not sure if it is the same one - would it matter (as long as the output is the same I ...

Re: clio sport?

my car has a 172 engine in with LPG, bear in mind OE spark plugs are platinum and a lot of the clio boys swear by using the OE plugs in them which will be no good with LPG.
You can of course use different plugs, i've used alsorts from £1 NGK copper ones to £11.50 denso iridiums

Re: Missfire under 2k revs

Well it has been doing it for a while now but it is getting worse.
I think there is an LPG garage not too far away with the software - out of interest how would the software tell them if an injector or the vap was leaking?

Yes I have checked the gaps - there was nothing wrong with the old plugs to ...

Missfire under 2k revs

Hi all,

I'll start by saying i've done a search and i've already changed my spark plugs, coil, HT leads and liquid phase filter.

I have a BRC sequent multi point kit.

The car drives fine on petrol with no misfires.

Under 2000 rpm it misses quite a lot on gas - most prominent at 1750rpm. If full ...

Turbocharging a car on LPG

Hi all,

I have a BRC sequent multipoint injection system.

I have a 4cyl car currently pushing around 170bhp/155lbft

I intend to turbo my car to get around 230bhp/220lbft.

I would (obviously!) like to keep running my car on LPG.

Would the kit function in the same way? I.e will the same injectors ...

Re: Why the massive price hike??

My local BP has dropped about 6p but my local shell has gone up by 7p and is now more expensive than the bp for the first time ever (the BP is usually 6p more expensive than the shell - i assume this is because it is close to the M1)
Paying 72.9 @ BP atm.

Re: removing front end solenoid

To follow up on this (cos i hate it when threads dont have a solution!):
The not changing over was caused by a faulty relay - replaced this and hey presto it was switching over nicely.
I then drove around and when lpg had ran out tried again to swap the filter in the front solenoid. This time no gas ...

Re: removing front end solenoid

Unfortunately I cant run the car until the tank is empty because it wont switch over to gas, orange light stays on forever and on the rare occasion that it tries to go on gas no fuel gets delivered and it switches back to petrol.

Rossko yes that does sound feasible. Would chaning that require a new ...
