These lot seem happy with the conversion by this company as well.

It says they dont remove the manifold, they use some kind of vacuum drill.Anyone heard of such a thing ?? :-/

yep

the drill bit is working in reverse direction and taking the cuts out blah blah blah 

thats a big lie.. I dont see anything coming out..

Never heard of it. But chatting to my approved installer most inlet manifolds are plastic on newer cars theses days anyway.

I would like to see v6 manifolds drilled in situ, and still get the injector nozzles sited near the petrol injectors. Not a hope. Has to come off surely.

Does not make sense, you have to take the plenum off anyway to drill & tap the injectors, why not spend literally the extra 5 mins and take the injector manifold off?

Not all cars are Omegas

on some newish model cars , the gasket is for one time use, once you take it you need to use a new one

and the time required is not that short..

Profess Autogas drill into the manifold using a drill with a specialist tool for removing any metal debris they will not remove the manifold as this could cause other problems especially with the head gasket!! will provide pictures later so that you can get a good look at the engine fittings and the 85ltr tank.

I'm sorry, but to claim that removing a manifold can affect the head gasket in any way is total rubbish. They do it because it saves them time at the expense of doing a proper job.

an awful lot of inlet manifolds are water heated, put it back with an undetected leak and see what happens.i have seen the quality of this outfits work and it is top notch.

Utter crap!

As I said earlier... I heard good things about them

That said, I would be really uncomfortable with having a metal inlet manifold drilled in situ

[TheBoy]

Going to be difficult to drill V6 in situ anyway, as chrisgixer says.

Other option is those drill-free injector adapters, though suspect they are sub-optimal, either on LPG or petrol.

They may well drill further up and use straws though :-/

Still wouldn't be happy to have my metal inlet manifold drilled in situ

Straws are a shite idea, wince.

Most of us are used to removing the the plenum and inlet anyway, so its no biggy. Just add drilling and tapping, screw the nozzles in fit the pipes and refit.....fit the injector block the cable tray bracket and fuel rail brackets, run the fuel lines to the filter then vaporiser on the drivers wing having removed the winter pump that does bog all anyway, plumb the coolant pipes in series between block exit and hbv. Fit the loom ecu and vac referance gubbins to the T to servo pipe, get Kevin to solder into the loom ( that bit scares me) front end done. Simples. Or it is on a 3.2/2.6 anyway. Pita for space on the 3.0/2.5.

Sorry, wondered off all on me own then...

  Access can't possible be as difficult as the MR2 injector loom - which is buried under the hood mechanism - and that wasn't all that hard to splice into.

(My soldering is still intact several years on - shame the injector connector disintegrated on No1. cyl and ended up being replaced by two miniature spade connectors  )

That sounds quite like one of Mr DTM,s - just pop the heads off, or just pop the cranskshaft out, comments.
