Possibly do yours/my installations together? Maybe see if Martin is free to come down also?

I have some spare inlets we can drill, to keep the cars mobile...

that was my plan, to get another onlet and so be able to swap it out straight away

I can send you one?

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

I'd suggest you get a lot of jobs done while the plenum is off - rather than pop it on and off like I did!

So

1) Fit the evaporator supply pipe and T pieces at the back of the engine.
2) Fit the injector nozzles and rubber pipes - remember to block them with something (injectors will do)
3) Fit the cut injector cables - but this requires the ECU to be fitted.

So fittng the ECU and loom is near the beginning.

If you want to do the thermostat, cam cover gaskets, oil cooler - good time is when it is in bits.

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

sorry but after the installation dont you need manual arrangements in LPG ECU (of course with a laptop or pc) for better mixtures

Via a cable - the ECU can be anywhere - there is a plug on the loom to connect to a PC

Injectors are NOT mounted directly on the manifold

Remembr mine, plastic injectors on a short hose onto plenum mounted nozzles.

Nozzles need fitting, not injectors.

Nozzles may not be supplied as they would be different for different applications - eg I have long ones which go through the plenum. Whereas a lot go into the manifold.

Would you recommend going through plenum.. or would you go directly into the manifold near the valves as possible?

WHen cleaning breathers - into manifold, when fitting - into plenum.

I don't think there is too much difference but into the manifold is neater

Whoa! some catching up to do. Soulds like a plan! Would certainly be good to get a couple of manifolds modified for the nozzles. Is the manifold the same across all models?

Might be worth seeing how Jay W's kit pans out- or at least wait for it to arrive and see what it looks like.

I'm also concerned about getting the installs certified and I don't want to end up with a liability with respect to getting insured. Has anyone determined if the seller can do this or are there any other ideas on this?

Cheers,

Kevin

i haven't got the kit yet, as soon as i do there will be a load of pics posted up with the outline of what is in the kit.

Being sent by parcelforce, are they affected by the strike?
