Re: Extra Power in a diesel with LPG

I used to use a bank of four injectors into each port in the manifold (similar to a petrol set up). then just switch the injectors on or off with the idle switch as mentioned earlier. The bigas injection reducers are ideal as you can take the lid off and cut the spring inside to give you full ...

Re: Glued heat shrink

If you check out beal uk they now have heatshrink which has a solder peice in the middle. Bare the two end poke one in either end so they both reach the solder ring then just use your heatgun to shrink the heatshrink and melt the solder. Fantastic little things.

Solder and seal all in one - happy ...

Re: Merc engine misfire.

Mercs are a bit of a pain when it comes to missfires. You have already pretty much diagnosed your problem as changing over too early. Could be just a setting in the software that needs changing could be a Vapouriser that is getting past its sell by date.
Could be a coolant flow issue.

Whichever it ...

Re: hesitant on acceleration

I am a little confused now, you say it bogs down under acceleration but still pulls like a train!!!
If the MAf was goosed it would not pull like a train, also if the cat was blocked it would not pull.
This is all irrelevant now anyway as if it really has that much blue smoke coming out then i would ...

Re: hesitant on acceleration

disconnect the MAF and drive the car, if it is the MAF causing incorrect reading, disconnecting it will put it to some sensible settings to allow the car to run. If it gets better replace the MAF. better still if you know of somenone with a similar vehilce borrow theirs and try that

Re: Injector Position

Cable ties are not a bodge, it is not the best practice, I agree, but if the injector rail is held firmly in place then there is no hard and fast rule to say this is incorrect. Some installs are better with the cable ties holding the rail firmly down as to be able to get some brackets in would make ...

Re: Mercedes ML500 LPG converted

Mint LPG's philosophy of done in a day has been sort of forced upon them, there is another installer just up the road from them and they are the main "do it in a day" installers in South wales. Mint had to follow suit to try and stay in business as many many people are now going for the cheapest and ...

Re: Considering selling car due to rediculous quotes

when you are asked about any claims or convictions, if you have an SP30 then you don't need to tell them as it is not a conviction. there are two separate columns on your liscence, one is date of offence the other is date of conviction.
If an insurance company tries to wriggle out of paying up due ...

Re: LPG injection for cars without electronic fuel injection

just be a bit careful with the TPS switch, the signal is usually a 5v signal not 12v. I simple potential divider circuit wired up to give you around 5V is simple enough.

Re: Problems running on LPG During warmup

Alter the change over temp to 50 and see if the problem goes away. could be the extended warmup as mentioned or could just be a simple tuning issue.

Re: ..after a power upgrade - what do I do to the LPG system

The Easyjet injectors, if they are 21's will quite easily cope with (They are rated to 44hp per cylinder)50hp per cylinder and i have them running more than that on a few cars.
The romano vap which as Rossko says, is an after fitment addition, will be your main limiting factor as they don't flow ...

I agree with Tubbs, fitted many many AEB systems and of different brands and never seen that issue. As he says, fitting error not, kit error

standard flashlube may not work as the manifold pressure goes positive on a turbo car. lambda's don't need to be connected, they don't do anything, they only monitor. done quite a few scooby turbo's, and they all run just fine. They do however have a habit of eating plugs and coil packs, even on ...

Re: V8 performance

The difference may even be closer than that as you could lose that amount of time while on petrol depending how you manage to get off the line. No two starts are usually the same
