LPG on turbo cars

#1 Post by dannyf »

I am looking around for some one to put a LPG kit into my car its a Zafira Gsi thats had a bit of work done to it
power wise it dose about 320bhp on high boost and 260bhp on low boost
kit wise i think i will need to go for a Vsi kit with Brown's or wait for a Wet kit to come out latter this year ?
I did call up looking for the BRC kit but its injectors are 2 small :(
I am in Hornchurch essex so if I could find some near home to put the kit in the car
I have found
one in southend and one in barking

You can easily LPG your car. My dads 400bhp Jag runs fine.

Just need to get the right kit.

There's a kit on here for upto 380bhp

But it's not a 4-cylinder, and that does make a big difference.
Getting the right kit is crucial, yes, and bhp/cyl is one of the factors that needs to be taken into account.

Check out this lot down in Barking: http://www.biglpg.co.uk/ Small garage run by bunch of decent Russian geezers, do a lot of Prins conversions. Reasonable prices. Taken my Necam Koltec factory fit Zaffy there numerous times for services etc.

Otherwise I've read good reports about this lot in Rochford:-

Ive been toying with the idea myself on my abarth 500 1.4 turbo

its running a tuning box by tmc motorsport approx 170bhp, petrol tank is 38 litres and i get around 220 miles per tank max, going gas would increase my range and add more value as its costing my £45 a tank

ive seen one done its got a 28 litre lpg tank no probs just wether the turbo would run on full power

my type r loses power only revs to 7k on vtec rather than 8k so really interested in what you guys say on here

Just jumping in here, looking for recommendations/ideas on a DIY front end kit suitable for a Volvo V70 T5, 240 horses, probably a bit less now.
Can't find any mention of T5's that been converted on here.

26mpg in a 1.4 Turbo? Surely that can't be right?
