hi everyone,

just got a quote from ezygas for 2.5k to install gas?

what do use all think>?< cheap?

and is this a good company?
they give free service 1000km, bp discount card, modern dash gauge, and heaps of other benefits,

cheers

bp discount card is free from bp anyway, and the first service should be free.

With gas, its often better to go for good instead of cheap

2.5k's cheap as crap! nfi about the quality of them tho.

What type of gas system? injected or mixer? also what car is it going onto?

lol i was going to get it done at eastside mitsubishi but there were complications

its the gas that starts off on petrol, for 3 seconds, then swaps over..

going onto a petrol guzzler, thats what.

00 mitsu verada

.. eastside was 2,850 and ezygas is 2,550

That will be a Mixer system for that money.

I had mine done at Ezygas. Madmagna pointed out a few minor things that could have been done better but as for the quality of the job, hard to get better from what i have seen and heard.

Mine is so neat it looks like a factory fit.

My bro in law just had his VT done with a mixer system and he is happy with that. Once again, that is also a very neat install.

thanks for that familywagon :)

cheers

well ill be sure to rpely after i get it done, tell u all how it went.

Hi everyone, I am thinking of installing LPG system in my car. It's magna TJ 2001. Can anyone recommend a place in Brisbane (I live close to city) where I can take it and the cost? Also the car is sitting on Kings low suspension, will that be a problem?

depends.. what steering wheel do you have?

depends.. what steering wheel do you have?

You sure about that ?

I thought the LPG install could be affected by the size tyres the car was running on. Perhaps it was my bad in understanding what the installer excatly ment when he said "wheel"

depends.. what steering wheel do you have?

It's just stock steering wheel.

Mine one is low profile tyre with 17 inch wheel.

ah it'll be fine then

How do any of the wheels affect LPG? :confused:

HAHAHA DIDNT THINK THEY DID :bowrofl: :nuts:

ah yes eastside. Happy to convert and take your money then happy to lay blame on car once you start having problems lol.. Hence why i have gone injected at my expense after the ****ty install they did.

Can anyone recommend a place in Brisbane (I live close to city) for gas conversion and the cost?

:badgrin:

well not going eastside.
going ezygas, heard some good reviews from peers

Hey there Jvdesensi.

Was that $2500 after the govt rebait or beforehand? If it was after so therefor you are payingn $4500 total then you will get the injected system. If it is before, so therefor you are only out of pocket $500 then it will be the mixer.

Where abouts you in melb?

Give me a PM and i will give you the supervisors number you can ask questions too.

Both Family Wagoon and myself have had EzyGas SVI conversions and are happy with the tidyness of the conversion. If you are interested in a look at mine shoot me a PM and i can arrange to meet you somewhere.

if u guys says its neat, i believe

nah its 2500 before the rebate, so it will be mixer...

is there a power difference?

is it noticeable?

All i know is thart with the injected system, there is no power loss and very little economy loss.
My bro in law has a mixer in his VT and he said he can feel the difference between petrol and gas. Said that gas doesnt quite have the poke of petrol. Especially noticable when you put your foot into it and get her revving. He also said econ is 2-3L per 100km worse with Gas than fuel.
But then again, it is a holden. Cant comment about mixers for Magna's.

not many people run dedicated mixer systems. gas injection will be just as bad as a common mixer setup IF you retain the use of petrol.

reason is all in the tunning.

injection gas systems allow for massive compression also so its just not in the tune itself. You may have a ecu that can switch fuel and ignition maps, but you wont have the ability to switch say from 9:1 to 13.5:1 when on gas.

I would go injected given the option but there arent many installers out there competent with it

All i know is that with my SVI setup i dont loose any power and very little econ if any at all so who really cares if it suposibly cant tune itself.

I know it has its own ECU that is a dedicated gas ecu when on gas and when on fuel, it uses the cars factory ecu and settings.

not many people run dedicated mixer systems. gas injection will be just as bad as a common mixer setup IF you retain the use of petrol.
The injected systems are a much more precise method of metering the fuel. A mixer system no matter how well tuned will never come close to a SVI system. I have a TJ mixer system in the family and when my car was done (with the running in tune) it ate the mixer TJ for power, econ and smoothness. There was no comparison really. And i cant see where you are coming from when you mention retaining petrol. With SVI there is no restriction in the intake like there is with a mixer system so the airflow isn't impeded in any way.

I didn't know that SVI systems needed big compression to run efficiently. I had better go out and tell my car that it shouldn't be running as well as it is after its last tune... And yes i know that LPG loves big compression and has a higher octane rating than ULP. But it seems to be working fine on 9.0 to 1.

Yes there is...http://www.ezygas.com.au/ And if you saw the workmanship you wouldnt believe it. Looks almost factory.

thanks for the link

what i was getting at, is that any lpg is better then no lpg. if performance was an issue you probably wouldnt buy a magna to start with, so adding any type of gas system, whether it looses power or not, wont really concern most of us here.

The systems i wsa more referring to is

www.lilpg.com.au

or some variant of it. its better then the current sequential systems out there, and really makes LPG not only a cost saving fuel and greener fuel but a proper performance option to high octane unleaded.

Its a lot of reading but it goes through the pros and cons of all systems by design. Anyways, that ezygas stuff looks like the go-er

Here you go... My engine bay with the Sprintgas SVI system.

Liquid injecjion isn't avaliable for magna's/Verada's yet and most likely wontb be on a large scale for a few years.

As for the statment, you probably wouldn't buy a magna to start with if you wanted performance, i wouldn't go saying that too much around here.

Guys n Gals on here love there cars and spend a lot of time and money doing what they can to get even more performance out of them, not because they under perform, but because they love the car they have.
As for gas, im sure most people on here would like an SVI system is they could afford it over a mixer system because they wouldnt want to loose that performance.
I don't know many people that are ok when someone says, you are going to loose performance. I understand that the mixer system does people just fine but im sure if money wasnt the issue, they would go the SVI system for those reasons.

boys/gals

dont 310k and the tanks nearly empty, and thats not very conservative driving...

so im happy so far with ezy gas :) :cool:

POWER DIFFERENCE IS HUGE.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i had a k&n panel filter.. to realize tonight THAT ITS GONE!! they must have taken it out!! who else could have :shock: and replaced it with the original one :(

oh well, was planning to get pod anyways..

update: done 350k with tank and one bar to go (one bar normally give 60-80km)

so ill get over 400 :O... conservative driving!

Here you go... My engine bay with the Sprintgas SVI system.

Oh thats so neat.
:cry: :rant: :disgusted :doh:

My new system is great for power, but it looks like a Transformer took a dump im my engine bay.

No pics available. To embarrassed.
