[sassanach]

mine were nothing like that long maybe 25mm long

[cem_devecioglu]

i fitted the nozzles alongside the original injectors, m6 thread

I had these


Page Here

Good Quality ! Hw Mch -Price ?

[Martin_1962]

Not sure but these go through the plenum

[Jay w]

have been told it will be here today, there has been a huge delay, looking at the tracking details it wasnt the chaps fault either........

As soon as it arrives i will get some piccys up, have been told it comes complete with nozzels as well, the ony thing i will need will be tools

[Martin_1962]

Good luck

Are the nozzles the correct internal diameter or will they need drilling?

Do the nozzles on an SGI setup need sizing for the engine?

Just thinking as the flow rate for petrol injectors has to be reasonably closely matched to the engine's fuel demand so you've got sufficient fuel flow for peak power but not so much that resolution suffers at idle. I guess it's the same if you're injecting gas but kits I've seen just say "good for up to x BHP".

Anyway, hope the conversion goes well, Jay W. Keep us updated

Some do - seen that OMVL ones need sizing

[Jay w]

the supplier has said that they are good for up to 200bhp, after that they will cause lean off, the software that comes with the kit will help me to set it up so it runs at optimum, if i do need different injectors then he can supply

[Kevin Wood]

May be a little marginal for my 3.2 then :-/

Still, have established contact with the guy and he seems helpful.

I would think it would be fine unless you wanted to really give it some large... in which case I suspect you'd want to be running on petrol anyway!

[Paulus]

Jay - what size and pitch of thread are the injectors? What size drill bit and tap are you using?

They may not be in the kit, he may not have the kit yet anyway, but M8 (6.5mm drill) is a good guess

Careful...It should be a 6.8mm drill. You might break your tap which would be a REAL pain to get out.

Great thread...keep it going. I am planning on gassing up my 3.0 in the next couple of months (diy job).

really disaapointed as the kit didnt turn up today, delivery van broke down

Yeah, but running engines lean at wide open throttle is not good, and remembering to switch to petrol when the red mist descends is not going to happen .

Will ask the chap what he reckons. I guess given the power drop on LPG it'll be around the 200 BHP mark anyway.

I could dust off my wideband lambda sensor to set it up, I guess.  :-/ Anyone got an old Lambda sensor that I can butcher for the connector to wire it up?

Hopefully it'll arrive tomorrow then you can play at the weekend

Fingers crossed.

well the plan is to make this look as factory fit under the bonnet as possible, i have never seen a dual fuel V6 but i want everything to look like it should have been there.

Because of this, the fact that i work away from home so much and  that this is my first LPG install it will be done in stages, we will be doing the Back end first (tank, nozzle and plumbing) followed by the electrical stuff (ECU, loom, switch) next the Vapouriser and water hoses the inlet and plumbing and finally connect the front to back.

I have got a spare manuifold that i have to collect next week, this should save us some time when we cme to that stage, thanks Mark DTM   likewise if all goes well and i have mine going spare then i will offer that up as a spare so someone else can have the same luxuary as me.

Once we start i will start a new thread and try and keep it as updated as possible
