SOoooo, did a little travelling yesterday, more than most gypsies!

Went to see a real gentleman @blujedi (top bloke/seller)

Finally picked up a LPG kit for the lude which means i can realistically use it as a daily at last! 8-)

couple of picks before we removed the kit!

So yeh, there is a hell of alot that goes into to it electronically, a little more than i was expecting :?

basically the system piggy backs of the petrol injection signals but still runs of its own ECU ! i was if i am honest a little naive as to just how much went into it! sure i'll work it out though!

cheers

Rather you than me sorting that lot out :? :lol:

Sure it'll be worth it though :)

Where is it actually routed too? Does the IM need to be modified?

Yes the IM is modified. So phil has taken the whole manifold off the engine once it was out the car and on the floor.

It's multi point conversion (as opposed to a single point) so each of the four inlets have been drilled. We should have took a pic of it once it was off the head when we were looking at it.

Nice work bud. Looks like a good kit there. I know you had your sights on one for a while. Good luck reversing the removal and fitting it! :?

TBH mate, i cant see it being too hard, there is only one place its spliced into the main loom, the rest is just plug and play!

the difficult part will be routing the fuel line (i think i will be using the tank vent routing for this) and fitting it all neatly! it was a good install on blujedi's car but could have been done Better IMO!
