LPG conversion
« on: 24 May 2011, 19:55:25 »
Does anyone have any pics of their lpg conversion that they can post here or email to me please?
I'm hoping to convert my v6 Vectra soon and although I appreciate that there are differences between the Omega & Vectra, it would be really useful for me to have some pics as a guide to where best site the components.
Many thanks.... Colin

Do a search through the Gallery and/or look through the maintenance section for plenty of pictures :y

Thanks for that...have now found them, really helpful  ;D

Can you recommend anyone to supply a complete kit, preferably with the Stag plus or premium?
Tinley seem a bit too pricey and autogas-lpg can't be bothered to answer an email...

Don't hold your breath! ::) ::)

In all seriousness... It will probably be a week or so as he's very slow with emails ;)

Finally got a nice V6 to convert and am gathering the bits and pieces needed.
Can anyone give some advice on which size injector nozzles work best with the Vauxhall V6 2.5?
Thanks....

Depends entirely on what injectors you are using ;)

I've not got any experience with them so it'll be trial and error unless you can get some advice from the supplier :-X

No chance of any advice from this supplier! I'll take the trial and error option!

Did you take a signal wire from the crankshaft sensor on your Omega?  My lpg ecu loom has a wire to be connected to an rpm signal, I was wondering where the best place was on the Vauxhall engine...?

It's in the maintenance guide, but the cleanest signal is from the wire, close to where it joins the ECU :y

Thanks, any idea which colour wire to tap into?

It's all in the maintenance guides, along with ECU pin numbers. :y
