Stag LPG kit at good price
« on: 16 November 2009, 15:19:29 »
For anyone considering LPG, there is a 4 pot Stag kit on ebay for £175. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LPG-autogas-conversion-injection-kit-AC-STAG-4-300_W0QQitemZ250531207168QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item3a54d2d800

I think this is the kit used by several people on here. Obiously you need to get a tank, etc  but there are enough of them floating around.

It just shows the difference in 2nd hand is very small. Mine cost £140, with the slight advantage of having a drilled manifold and a tank, but money wise very little between them.

I see there's another 2 petrol price rises coming soon.  :'( :'( :'(

How close on your manifold where the injectors mounted?

I personally wouldn't buy this kit as it's not as complete as the one we get supplied. It's also not the same kit... Different vaporiser for a start :y :y

There's no software, cable, pipework, brackets, hose clips, nuts etc, all of which will probably set you back another £150 minimum, which makes it more expensive (I think) than the supplier we use :y :y

I was going to post photos later, but...

Here are the LPG nozzles relative to the petrol injectors :

Hers is one nozzle, curious it has about 4 holes into the manifold. :


I can't really comment on how good or bad this postion is, the car is a bit rough at low revs, but it hasn't been tuned at all. I fitted new plugs yesterday and its a lot better, apart from the missfire on one pot which is due to damaged spark plug rubber boot.

Position looks OK... Could have been a bit closer to the petrol injectors but not by much :y :y

.. not to mention we know the support that Teilo offers is good. I'm concerned that they say it's limited to 136 HP too. That sounds marginal for a 2.2 and I wonder where the restriction is?

Cheers for that, its good to see  :y

What kind of MPG are you getting at the moment on gas? My runs will be 90% motorway, hoping to get 25mpg. (2.2 manual)

Not sure on that too, Stag kit i got (almost exactly same pictured) on another auction, listed it as 145bhp.

Can't see that being a problem... I got about 21mpg (Actual figure) on gas in my 3.0 Auto last week on a run to Liverpool and back, with a bit of town driving too, without sparing the horses :y :y

True. And the one we have is supposedly good for 350-400BHP. :o A 3.2 on full bore certainly drags the output of that down a fair bit. I would be fitting 2 of them if I had any more power.

Make of kit only really relates to the ECU
