Yes it can be done

I'm doing my second gas installation and it costs about £800 DIY, give or take a few notes as you may come across little jobs as you go along.

Martin - With regards to the installation of the gas injectors - How far from the petrol injectors did you install the gas ones? I'm curious to see how much room there is available and how close I can get them to the petrol ones.

For my 4-pot install I installed them about 6mm away and angled them in the same direction as the air flow.

Romano nozzles are about 10 to 20mm up stream of the petrol injectors. Nozzles into the side like most installs are slightly further up, as the cam covers stop you getting too close.
