LPG ON A 313 ENGINE?

Recommended Posts

Hey guys just wondering if anyone has any experience or know first hand what the 313 engine runs like on LPG and what sort of problems I can face, also any systems that would be best suited as I know some include a lube feeder as well. Any feedback would be appreciated as I'm looking to sell my car but LPG could swing it for me as my commute to work is changing from 15 miles a day to 45 lol

No it wouldn't :) you've made up your mind already.

Let me put it this way:

It is doable and done right will be trouble free.

However if it cost 2.5k to do it you would have to be driving silly miles to recoup the cost and then start to save so it pointless.

If you think the tuning costs are too much then it's curtains band aids don't work. But if you really want to reduce fuel costs then consider a cheap option like the D1 throttle controller and maybe an Uprev reflash to have a map to run 95ron fuel safely. This will only cost around 500-600 quid.

But it's not like you are going to go from 25-50mpg which returns to my initial point.

from memory, the zed doesn't like LPG few have tried, all I think ended up with ....bang

 

I think thats a myth TBH. Cheap system will do this as most japanese cars have soft valves. A good system like prins will use valvecare and not do this. Plus the car is tuned on the lpg too.

Why don't you keep the zed and use the cash that you would spend converting it to LPG on a diesel shed!

Now that I have go to see!

A successful LPG Derv conversion!

Sorry, I think I complicated things there. What I meant was, leave the zed as it is and buy a cheap diesel car. Lol.

All good answers but no clear ones guys! I've spoken to one place who has priced me up for £1200 and that's with a flash lube system. One thing he did say however is I might have to decat my.car as Nissan cats apparently don't like LPG.

He also said he can tune it so it runs up to 30% petrol if the car is being driven hard. Any more thoughts? Lol

I think you need to do some research.

Certainly a company that has been specialising in this for a while.

Here are the details of the company that does all the high end sports cars.

eurolpg.co.uk

East lane Buisness Park

3 Boundary Road

Wembly

Middlesex

HA9 7NA

0208 9040126

The guy that owns it is called Ibrahim

His email is ikuzu@eurolpg.co.uk

This was not the guy that quoted me £1700 by the way.

I just know of people who have had theirs done there without any problems:)

*update* the £1400 is a Romano fitted with a flashlube system, Ive been pricing/willing to pay for the prins kit but my nearest dealer for them is almost two hours away! so im wondering do I pay 1400 for a Romano kit thats guranteed for two years and the dealer lives about 10 minutes away (www.lpgwales.com) or pay £1950 for the full prins kit. However any problems and its a two hour drive! ..... hmmmm

That is true but I was looking at driving 6 hours to get a good job done. Its up to you but from everything I've read the prins system is so so much better. But its your money and I can understand 2 hours away when your car isnt working is hard. But worst case scenario it will still work on petrol.

well doing further research apparently the prins system has the best injectors (Jap) which is why its so reliable but the ecu is made by AEB (Mid Range) thats pretty much all thats different, Also the valve care lube is electronically controlled as opposed to a vacuum controlled one that I think ive been priced up for.
