Hi All


Just to let anyone know that I've been running a PRINZ LPG system on an 03 Vec Z20NET for 70K without issues. No sign of power loss from petrol to LPG. 30MPG. Reckon I've saved over 3 grand so far. (From 52K to 122K)
Only problems so fr is at 120K need new timing chain, which I will be fitting this weekend.


Cheers

Alan

On the Z20LEH engine, LPG conversions can produce higher BHP figures than standard petrol ones.

Very true, LPG has an octane rating of 110!
so more boost can be used before problems occur
Also lpg is a liquid, as it transforms into a gas it absorbs heat from the surrounding air effectivly cooling the air/making it more dense.

But Petrol has approx 23% more energy per litre. So more lpg is needed to do the same amount of work.

If i could, i would fit a lpg kit to my car.

If i had a tuned f.i.............it would be a MUST!
