The guys i have been talking to have not done a conversion and i think most of them have decided to leave it in the too hard basket and they dont sound confident maybe the land rover badge scares them off. the quotes i have got have been around the $4500.00 mark.
Never got around to getting the conversion and haven't given much thought until tonight! was iust thinking of starting a new post up to see if there were any test dummys out there?
Have you been succeseful yet?
I've actually been pretty happy with my fuel economy although I've fitted a k&n filter and snorkel and threw some high flow cats and lukey in it
(and i never got a notice of your reply so sorry a bit late on the reply.
I had a Sprint Gas SVGI System fitted by Malaga Autogas 18 months ago.
The installation was good and the only problem was the tank installation in the back which was not normal.
Even if he hasn't done it before i think he has the knowledge and experience to to it properly
Mate there are plenty of 4.0V8's gassed up with SMPI and it works very well with that engine. The OP though has a 4.0 V6 Ford Explorer motor in his Disco 3...not so common.
Just saw the post. So the snorkel and filter gave you a better fuel consumption- if so what was the improvement and what was the cost for the snorkel and air filter, and finally where did you get the snorkel done. Thanks, appreciate the comments.
In my opinion it has given me better economy my real world figures from top up to top up at the petrol station doing country driving im constantly in the low 11s and town work is in the 13-14 mark. Compared to old economy would struggle to keep it under 13 on the open road
Ordered the filter through repco think it was about $80.00 and if you didn't no they are reusable and I'm pretty sure they still have a million mile warrenty.
The snorkel was of eBay paid 160 plus I brought a few silicon bends to replace the hose it came with so all up about 200 and fitted it my self over a couple of frothys one avo.
