LPG installation WIP
« on: 13 October 2007, 12:37:00 »

The kit finally arrived this morning, it looks to be fairly comprehensive as well, the chap was good to his word, there isn't much i will need aside from tools.

Some pics

ECU & Set up disk


Injectors and mountings


Diagnostics


pipework


More pipework


Loom


Paperwork/instruction manual/LPGA regulations


the underbody pipework looks like copper with a plastic coating, comes with ends and olives

It does look pretty impressive, if there are any specific pics you would like me to get let me know

I'd be interested in the wirnig diagram if you can get it to me. See what connections it needs to Lambda sensors, etc.

the plan is to have updates here, once it has been done i may then take the key posts and turn it into a how2, i thnk the biggest issue will be the fact that these kits can be very different, this would be more of a general guide.

I will see if i can scan it and email it to you, pm me your details.

looking at the diagram you just break into the violet/violet,grey wire on the lambda, it looks to be constantly sensing

because of the fact that i really want to get this right first time i am taking my time over it......

The tank has not yet arrived and after spendiing last night mulling over the instuctions, spec and regulations i decided that we would mount the Vaporiser.

I had decided that underneath the airbox would be the easiest place, this means i can run the fuel lines up the chassis rail and can also use it as a guide for the water and gas hoses
took out the airbox and did a dry run, i was worred that it would be tight....and in places is it, but i believe there is enough space for everything


Without the airbox insitu


the tightest thing will be the fuel feed, the pipe will be run around the header tank and then down between the tank and airbox, you can see the brass part here, this is where the union will sit


next is the hoses, i am looking at breaking into the heater hoses pictured here,

this will mean me having to disconnect the hoses from the bulkhead and HBV, getting them off the car and then cutting them, not an easy task

not going to be able to do a lot until next weekend now, next step is to collect the spare inlet and look at getting that drilled and fitting the nozzels

i didnt cut my heater pipes,i disconnected the feed for the heater  from the coolant bridge and used a new piece of pipe and a joiner to connect it directly to the vapouriser, and then from the vapouriser back to the coolant bridge

I had to adjust my airbox to fit it, the heater pipes are cut off when the heater is off, hence my choice as per the picture

And if you want to look at a sequential setup installed, then there is still one on my drive (but not for much longer).

picked up the inlet tonight, Cheers Mark DTM, been having a look at it and decided that the nozzels will have to be mounted near the top of the trumpet, i would like to mount them as close to the bottom as possible after all that's what vauxhall did but space is a big issue.

Having a look over the LPG Omega Mark has there has given me a few more ideas as well, the water feed will be taken from the bridge, to the vaporiser and then back to the heater, minimal amount of work involved and keeps it looking as normal as possible.

Next there are about half a dozen brackets that i will have to make, started tonight by making some cardboard templates, from there they will be transferred into 16 guage metal, bent into place, drilled and then painted before final fitment

will post some more pics shortly
