in melbourne, vicroads rwc testing laws state that 10years from the date the compliance plate on the tank, your tank has to be ripped out and re-tested. liquid injection is the way to go if you are looking at converting to LPG. the main benifits are that, as the name states, the LPG is in a liquid form right up until it is injected into the manifold. yes gas does burn a bit hotter but gas also loves higher compression ratio's (14.7:1 for petrol vs 15.7:1 for LPG). last time i asked, liquid injection kits start at about $3500 i think (tho i was quoted by one of my trade school teachers who is on the AAFRB panel and is the authorised teacher for the LPG fitters course in melbourne) and that was for my b18c1 set up fitted & tuned. if you are serious and live in melbourne, pm me and i can put you onto the right people to talk to (not your everyday fit a LPG system with no license mechanic)
my crx is abt 9L/100km on BP98
85%+ city driving
after seeing the mileage u guys reported
i think B16 is quite fuel efficient lol
many people say honda + lpg doesnt work.. just wondering if anyone on here is running a honda with LPG
honda + poor installation = doesnt work
honda + installer who knows what he is doing = works
same goes with any manufacture
For a 4 cylinder car I honestly just don't see why you'd bother...
cheap way to make more power for less is the reason why i looked into it. tho CAMS doesn't want to know anything about you if your running LPG and plan on doing track days. so E85 is the only other choice (unless you convert to common rail diesel) lmao
I don't think gas makes more power than petrol
before the F6 typhoon was released, FPV did some testing with petrol vs liquid injection LPG and apparently they were seeing up to 15% power gains. everybody needs to get out their head the old vapour systems. this is dark age technology & the liquid injection kits provide a small supercharging effect due to propane having a boiling point of -42degree C. what this means is when the LPG is injected into the manifold, it boils (cold burn) and freezes the intake air, which in turn, makes the air more dense, so you can add more fuel with it due to the extra air that is in the chamber and then more power is made (sorry if i haven't explained very well, flat out at work but just wanted to touch base on how it makes more killer wasps)
if you want good economy get a small turbo diesel car,
like the i30 or fiesta or whatever it is ford makes.
If you want good fuel ecc get a friggin' 3 cylinder Daihatsu Charade for around $800 lol. Runs of fart gas.
I don't really know and I'm not too bothered. But if you want power then don't convert the car to gas for a $2-3g. You modify other things.Quote:
