LPG kit prices
« on: 28 November 2010, 11:16:58 »
Forgetting the fact I personally will not be buying another stag kit for a minute.

Can we talk about LPG front end kit prices....?

How much did you pay if you have one already? If you don't mind me asking.

Would you use them again and where would you get your next kit from should you need one?

Hmm. I wouldn't go for a "no name" kit just to avoid Stag, TBH. It would be Stag or a "premium" kit for me.

Probably best to ask about other kits on one of the LPG forums.

Wonder if the temp/time threshold needs raising  before the LPG cuts in? Had similar on mine.

Strange... mine is absolutely fine. In fact, we were a little late leaving last night for a dinner we were going to and I managed quite a spirited drive on LPG in sub-zero temperatures ::) ::)

I wouldn't rule out Stag kits... ISTR that JamesV6 fitted a Stag kit recently with Magic injectors (and a different Vaporiser) and had no lag whatsoever

Whatever it is... I didn't do it

The idle is a bit pants on LPG until engine warm in this weather - earlier it was fully warmed, and I went to test that lag issue in Sports Mode, but the bugger kept bleeping, and flicking to petrol.

Wonder if the multivalve doesn't have the flow when really cold, though I know chrisgixers is a multivalve...

Mine has also been absolutely fine. Outside temperature makes no odds.

I have the occasional stumble if it's started with a warm engine and switched over relatively soon (I think mine is set to 20-30s). No problem from cold, and that's with switchover at 20 degrees C IIRC. Quite often it will switch over when idling on the drive with me scraping the ice off the screen Still runs perfectly on LPG.

No stumbles when hot either, apart from the odd duff gear change.

I wonder if this is down to a multivalve VS 4 hole?

Also would be good to see what low vapour pressure threshold you're running.

Whilst it tasted nice enough, I was disappointed by how much they (didn't) spice it up...  ...unless Mrs TB slipped them a tenner, in order to reduce her suffering of the aftermath :P


I think it our duty to give the chef more training. Chris can train the waiter ;D
