Im saying : CNG all the way baby. Fill that puppy up at home. Half the cost of LPG and tuned right more POWA. Got to increase the compression to 12.5 but and remap the ecu.
Be expensive, but very cool.
I went to the modded XR5 Turbo with Mods - the dark side.....BOOOOST!
the lpg tank stored in spare wheel well is kinda neat so it does not rob boot space, but not too sure about technicallity or whether they have any branch in oz
There is oz company who provides LPG kit for honda, at the moment only to CRV 2.4lt, I suppose the engine is similar to euro only tuned differently?
there is absolutely no point in converting a Euro to LPG. Firstly, the K24a3's are pretty damn good on fuel economy in the first place. Secondly you are robbing the car of good power which means you will have to press the pedal further down to get the accelleration - thus you will most likely use more gas then petrol which destroys the financial incentive to change.
on the other hand....IF it was a 1970's Chevy big block that makes 600 hp or somthing ridiculous...then yeah it would be worth it, because it might only lose 50hp...50hp is nothing when ure making 600 or so.. but its pointless on a car that makes only 140hp atw stock approx.
