Hi all

 

I've seen an aristo with the Tt engine which has been converted to LPG, apparently £20 get him nearly 200miles!!

 

I thought LPG conversions were not possible for high performance or turbo vehicles? However I did see an add for an n/a supra which was LPG converted.

 

Any thoughts or experiences with LPG guys?

Why?

 

There was even some race teams using LPG, from memory it has a higher octane rating than regular petrol ;)

A guy I sold two new Skyyline doors to in Telford does nice conversions. He has a n ultra quick T5 turbo Volvo running LPG. He has done some Skylines, not sure about Supras. I did have a customers LPG N/A in a bit ago (Purity) and a TT on LPG, that looked like a snake charmer's nightmare under the bonnet. So it can be done.

ive heard apparently LPG is 108 octane?

 

Would love to go LPG, just worried if it would be capable to run a big single when I eventually convert it in the future

Any idea of how much it would cost to convert? I'm after another Supra but hate having to spend 20 pound per day!!

 

Bearing in mind that you need the best available system, and an installer who knows what he's doing/has had experience with turbo cars... could be 2K?

 

And remember that you can still run on petrol if you feel that the circumstances require it.

Costs near to £2k for a proper setup that'll run a TT IIRC

 

A petrol fuel system to support a big single can cost almost £2k. I'd be tempted to run log on high boost, and have the stock fuel system in place as backup, with a low boost setting.

 

The log components to support big boost are readily available, as most log conversions are fitted to far larger engines than 2JZs.

Very interesting.. As above would love to the LPG for cruising around and be able to switch to fuel when..you know :)

 

And for me 2k will be well worth considering I'm spending £10 a day and maybe more on days off work.

 

Also can it cope with a single conversion??

 

Would love to see some examples
