Pete-M Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 LPG rocketh mightily. I'm seriously toying with fitting the 4.2 with a good multipoint setup. Hide a couple of torpedo tanks in the boot. From my experience, LPG tends to knock bottom end torque a bit but can be setup to give pretty good top end poke. Could be the cheap way to end up with the 4.2 being enjoyed a bit more.
CortinaDave Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 aye blow back is a pain in the arse! I only used to run the Probe on LPG when out of town as the blowback tended to happen in town which killed not only my air box but also the MAF sensor, and the car then ran like a pile of pish. I think I spent more on airboxes than I would have on just putting petrol in! It blew the airbox in the calibra as well, but that car didnt seem to care and carried on running as normal
garethj Posted July 22, 2010 Author Posted July 22, 2010 Boing for this topic - There's a kit on RetroRides but with no instructions. How easy would it be to fit do we think?
TheScrapman Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Sure the collective mind of AS could point you in the right direction. Good price (tank is almost worth asking price alone) and certainly an honest seller. LPG conversion to a carb engine is not difficult...
worldofceri Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 It's worth factoring in the resale value of the car when figuring out the value of the conversion. You're likely to get some of your money back when you sell, especially if it's a desirable model and still reasonably low mileage.

Hmmm, compared to what?Low mileage? As it's unknown, it might be low
worldofceri Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 ROFL indeed! I was thinking more generally, e.g. your typical LPG'd motor like a Jeep Cherokee or Jag XJ. But still, something to think about, no?
