BFC Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Alright guys! I was wondering if anyone is running LPG and if so has it effected the power of the supra at all? Cheers Bobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geofhole Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I have a Supra NA Auto running a state of the art Romano HD multi point LPG system. I have not noticed any power loss. You can switch back to petrol instantly if you want. LPG is only 85% as combustable as petrol so theoretically there is a power loss but the 3.0L Supra engine has bags of power so you don't really notice it. Shell in Bristol is selling Autogas for 66.9p a litre! That's £3.04p a gallon. Unleaded is 135.9 a litre or £6.18 a gallon you save £3.14 a gallon. LPG MPG is less expect 16 MPG on LPG but you will go about 35 miles on LPG for £6.18 instead of 22 miles on petrol. Cheers Geof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 In theory LPG is much higher octane so a single turbo could run massive boost as long as there is a way of turning it down if you run on petrol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konrad Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I run Aristo with TT VVTi engine and BRC installation. According to receipt it costed around 2,5k including valve lubrication system. It's as quick as on petrol, automatically switching to LPG when warm and cost 60p/litre at Carvers Wolverhampton It will pay back in around 15k miles (assuming you spend around 2,5k, but it can be done cheaper), after that you are saving money. Service is simple and includes changing 2 filters. Car is also quieter on LGP than on petrol for some reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
