Single point LPG kits
« on: 05 February 2008, 11:59:59 »
Afternoon gents,

Ive just got my 2.4 Fronitera back from the insurance chaps and its a CAT C write off, now I fitted a single point kit to it a few years back, asuming I the right mixer and a V6 injector simulator will it do for for my 2.5 ?

I know when I was knee deep in the grease there was issues with the lenghth of the air tract and the only way to go was with a multi point kit, but its been years since I had a play with this.

Just open to any advise

Personally i would recommend a multi point systemon an Omega, it is a lot more relaible abd doesn't suffer from backfire in the way a single point system, does.

Check with the manufacturer of the kit to see if it would be suitable for a Omega if you wanted to retain your mixer system

Thanks for that, I used to install the single point kits myself but it must be going on 8/9 year ago now, and I remember the boss would not touch a omega for love nor money...

if any one has some pics of where they have mounted a single point mixer & what size it is I would love to see them

The problem is, the two halves of the plenum breathe individually through the multirams so at best you would have to feed it at two points. For this reason your current front-end kit is not going to bolt straight on, and given that you have to change it, I would change to a SGI system, which do work very well on the V6.

Single point mixers don't work you either need twin mixers or much preferably SGI.

Mine uses SGI, TDs does, JamesV6CDX, Jaw W, Paul M, Sassenach and more

Come on Martin, single point do work,they'er just not as efficient and have a tendancy to blow the plenum hoses to bits if the electrical system is not in very good order.

mine did over 100k and only let me down on a couple of occasions.

But, I would recommend a multi-point system over a single point system as they are now significantly better.

It depends where the gas is fed in. Yours is not a mixer system is it?

With mixers you really need one per side.

With single point I think you have one feed into each side from the one point.

Single mixers are not practical as there are two pipes.

AFAIR you have mixers, single point injection, and multi point injection.

On that link you did have one feed shared to both inlets.
