Vic Gas Conversion Shops

[funkymonkey]

Since teh ceffy has unwittingly taken over duties as daily driver, and the 32 relegated to garage space occupier #2, I think it's time to convert the cef to gas. Its got a massive boot (good for 5 dead bodies or 6 if you chop em up) and fuel tank completely under the boot of the car, it might not be that bad a candidate either.

That said, most of you guys in VIC are more cluey about gas conversions than the guys in the other states, so I'm hoping you can school me on the ins and outs of dual fuel vs straight gas only. From what I've read dual fuel is worse for the system as the ECU isn't properly tuned for either. straight gas is cleaner and more efficient, but chances are you'll be stuck in the middle of nowhere with no gas.

also what sort of costs are we looking at for a full conversion to gas, just so I can work out if it is feasible to do the conversion. Don't wanna be like hybrid drivers who make a saving on what is essentially an overpriced model, which means you have to drive the car for 10 years before you recoup the price difference.

Oh also I'd love some recommendations for shops who do conversions and have worked on RB's before.

i'll pm you one not to go to.

mums ford runs like shit now, in petrol mode its really ruff and the idle is out, push the pedal down and feels like its about to shut down, and the air filter has been sucked down the pipe twice now and aibox blown to bits once.

she's taking it somewere else to get looked at friday, so then i'll post a good workshop if they fix the problem

look in to liquid injection if you want good power and relaibility and drivability.

it costs more than normal lpg set up (around $4500 for kits for common cars), google it there are plenty of companies around doing it now..

also you get $2000 back from gov. rebate as well.

i am looking into converting the 1600 with the Z18 Turbo to straight liquid injection.
