Thread: Which LPG system and installer- Melb

Injected gas on a D1 is a bit overkill, it works best on vehicles with more modern petrol ECU's which accurately control mixture (e.g. a D2). Gas injection slaves off the petrol system so won't be especially impressive.

I have developed a peculiar mix of parts to make a D1 work at its best with a mixer system. Once you have found an installer (try reading all the LPG threads first) I may be able to advise or supply suitable gear. Off-the shelf parts that are commonly fitted to a D1 can be disappointing, both in power and economy. Oh and I strongly advise a Bosch ignition amplifier upgrade, it makes a D1 more reliable with gas fitted.

hay hay!! this "a Bosch ignition amplifier upgrade", is this suited to RRC?? mine is a hotwire top end 4.6 bottom end.

Where what how??

i think that you will find plenty of other threads on this, but

I had my D2 done by RangeRov in Nunawading on recommendation of a mate. Injected. Awesome job. really neat. Never had 1 drama.

At the same time my brother in law had their Poojero done by a generic mob (injected too) and what a crap job it was. Lift the bonnet and Ongoing probs too. Stick with a LR specalist...

Come to think of it why did i sell it?

If you are running a Lucas electronic dissy the goss on the upgrade is all in here:

My "how to" is at the beginning of the thread.

Thanks, just rang Range Rov and they arnt doing conversions at the moment as they dont have an installer.
Has anyone used either All-Tek automotives
or LPG Conversion | LPG Conversions | Autogas Conversions | PH: 03 9739 4999

Consider a trip to Adelaide. I am sure that beeutey can sort it out for you, and probably have a 'free' holiday too.
I recently had my 300tdi gassed by beeutey and it was well worth the trip over from Canberra.

I second beeutey for a recommendation.

he's done my classic with scuba tanks, basically the same car as yours, and my P38.

Both going strong after a few years, with 60 thou on the p38 and 40 thou on the classic since conversion.

I used AG Autogas in lilydale. Fantastic service and the result is perfect. P38 4.0 2000 . Would recommend them to anyone.

Cheers
