DIY kits
Hi guys I'm sure this has been asked before, but things change, plus the search function doesn't work with my tapatalk.
Anyway I've got a 4.6 v8 defender, running Megasquirt using a disco 3.9 injection system. So I'm after converting it to multipoint lpg, it ran single point on the old 3.5. Ill be honest I'm not sure wether to have it done or do it myself, I've had a quote of 1100, to have it done, that reuses my old tank. I'd rather do it myself but time is as always is a factor. So the question is to you guys where would you recommend for a DIY kit?
So far I've found tinley tech, recommended most places for the helpfulness, however what are the bigas and king systems and components like
I've also found lpg shop http://www.lpgshop.co.uk/8cyl-mini-kit- ... p-reducer/
Selling an omvl dream front end kit for reasonable money
Found gasit too, they have some some similar kits.
Also found the stag ones on eBay, but not sure about those.
From what I've read they all share the aeb ecu so its the rest of the kit that's different, I don't want to buy the cheapest, but cost is obviously an issue.
Cheers mike

Re: DIY kits
The bigas system is very good. Quality components and as you say based around the AEB ecu. Which is very good. Is the petrol ecu half/full group or sequential ? Thats a big factor in choice, the AEB ecu does full and half group very, very well indeed. And sequential for that matter.
The Tinley Tech king kit uses valtek 30 injectors, and tbh they are cheap and cheerful. As long as you get the orientation right and the changeover temp correct they will just run and run. And if they do go wrong they arenet expensive to replace. They come with a Zavoli reducer, and its very good.
The dream kit ? I have to say the dream MP max reducer seems very good, stable and comes with an integral filter solenoid. Which the Zavoli one doesn't. Reg fast rails are ok, as long as the application isn't that taxing, which it isn't on your application.
Some people get on really well with the stag ecu, personally i don't particularly. Its probably more the way I'm wired than it..... I know a lot of people use and like them, i just don't find them very intuitive.
The Pc or Mac analogy springs to mind.
Thats my two penneth anyway.
£1100 for a front end upgrade seems a bit steep to me. I do them far cheaper than that.

Re: DIY kits
The injection fires in two banks, left and right. It's wasted spark edis for ignition if that matters. It's probably producing around 250bhp if it makes any difference.Tubbs wrote:The bigas system is very good. Quality components and as you say based around the AEB ecu. Which is very good.

Re: DIY kits
How much would you charge? And what make? The issue I have with the tank is there's no cover on it, apparently it's just a case of replacing the multivalve?
Re: DIY kits
It's half group. As most of them are. 'Bank fired' efi. Just checking as to what age really. What's the sketch with the tank ? And when you say cover what exactly do you mean. I generally charge £600 all in for a front end upgrade. An Italian system obviously. 250hp. Omvl max mp reducer. Reg fast/magic jets or valtek 34's. All of them will do it well. It's only 31 hp a cylinder. So not massively taxing. As long as its all installed well obviously.
Re: DIY kits
Can't remember the make of the tank off hand, but the rest of the kit is/was voltran. The plastic, clear cover that goes over the multivalve is missing. It'd also need a new pipe from tank to vaporiser, not sure if that's generally included in the front end kits.Tubbs wrote:It's half group. As most of them are. 'Bank fired' efi.

Re: DIY kits
The bigas kit from Tinley will come with pipe. The rest won't.
