Re: Converting a Subaru forester

Thanks, I had noticed those metal plates over the injectors. Wonder why they were there and so thick..are the injectors that noisy they need noise damping!

I've had the intercooler off before to fix an air leak, so not too phased by that. Been a long time since I drilled and tapped anything ...

Re: Converting a Subaru forester

Thanks for your replies, guys. The 10cm makes a big difference! Shouldn't be so difficult after all.

Converting a Subaru forester

Hi,

I'm planning to convert my Subaru forester 2.5XT (2006) to LPG. I have a Tartarini sequential system I'm going to use for this. Know about the TGV issue and have accounted for that. Got two questions which hopefully someone who has converted a Subaru before can answer.

1. What is the best ...

Re: Newbie wanting to "DIY LPG" my Toyota Estima

I would caution against taking your car to anyone who says they can convert it in a single day. The promised money savings may well not stack up in the long run. I took a Subaru Forester to an outfit in south Wales. They did indeed manage to fit a Stag system in a single day...a 14 hour day for the ...

Re: Preheater for the reducer or combined unit

I'm with the previous poster. Turn off the interior heater and buy an electrical one that runs off the cigarette lighter, so that you're not removing any heat from the circuit during warm up. Have you tried blocking off the art flow to radiator? - that would make it heat up quicker, but be careful ...

Re: Converting a Subaru Forester 2.5 Turbo

Intend to fit a flashlube system, but not convince about any of these so called fuel catalysts. At best there is an awful lot of unproven sales hype....at worst - snake oil.

Re: Converting a Subaru Forester 2.5 Turbo

It is a late 2005. I've taken a closer look an there is definitely an upper and lower manifold. The lower part has actuators on it, so must have the butterfly assembly...

As this is the case, the gas feed has to be after the flaps and the flashlube feed also has to be after them if it is to be ...

Converting a Subaru Forester 2.5 Turbo

Hi,

I have a Subaru Forster 2.5 XT that I want to convert to LPG. After a little research I discovered the Subaru has a two part inlet manifold, the top part connects the intercooler to the lower manifold which contains some butterfly valves and the petrol injectors. I understand the butterfly ...

Transferring a Tartarini System

Not sure if I should post here or in the Find and Installer section, so forgive me if I've got it wrong.

My much loved MG ZT v6 has finally bitten the dust and be consigned to the crusher. It was fitted with a Tartarini Sequential LPG system which worked very well. I had had to go back to my old ...

Re: Occasional Smell of Gas

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. It has got me thinking. I had an odd problem with the car last week. It ejected a load of coolant for no apparent reason, but it appeared to happen just as it was switching to gas. The temp gauge dropped a bit then shot up. I pulled over and found the coollant in the ...

Occasional Smell of Gas

Hi,

I recently purchased an MG ZT 180 fitted with a Tartarini system. In general the car runs very wells on LPG, slightly rough on tickover and very rarely hesitation when pulling away.

Every so often though I get the faint smell of LPG in the cabin. It happens when de-ccelerating to a slow speed ...

Re: What in oil

Thanks for that. Checked on a few VW dedicated sites and this is indeed a 'feature' of this and other VAG engines. Bizarre. Thanks again.

What in oil

Hi,

I have a Beetle which is fitted with a Stag system. I noticed it had lost a bit of coolant and suspected the vapourizer was leaking. When I checked the oil level I found white emulsification round the filler cap. First thought is that the cylinder head gasket has gone, but I just want to check ...
