You'll find all i did was edit a post i'd made, adding what I though may be some useful info. Some found it usefull, I can always take the prices out and people can continue talking s**t. |

The emmegas converter is pretty much on the limit of power on a stock EF-AU.
The Emer stuff is good for more power. I offer the Emmegas as lower cost option, but my first choice would be King, Emer or Landi |

I've seen a few taxi's with King setups and there happy and seem to be reliable...
I like the Landi and Emer gear personally... Do u find that u can get better economy if u dyno tune or street tune the log system? I know the factory tune is good but is there room for improvement?

Economy comes from looking at the feul trims in the cars managment system and tuning the LPG map so that there is enough room for the feul trims to function correctly.
Long term trims should be as close to zero as you can get. Each car is slightly different so there is almost always room to improve. |

Best to get it on a dyno or street tuning with wideband and the rest of it???

Wide band is good for checking open loop mixtures.
I use a scan tool to check fuel trims in closed loop. If the cars ECU dosen't give the ability to monitor fuel trims, then wide band is the only option. I don't own a dyno |

If I drive sensibly, I get 50 more kays per tank (350k) compared to the IMPCO Mixer kit (290) in stop start Sydney traffic. But, if you don't drive sensibly, and take advantage of the extra flow the injection kit gives you, you use more. Surprise!!!! LOL This afternoon I actually played with the full load mid to high RPM tune, to richen it up some what, and seat of the pants tells me it is pulling stronger now, but still not as good as on petrol. Considering I have a Wade 1673 cam, intake and exhaust mods, I am not surprised. From a reliability perspective, I have now done about 3000kays since the install, and it has not let me down. The car drives really nice when on LPG after it has reached normal operating temp. Until then it tends to hunt slightly. I am trying to chase down what I think is a minor weep as I can smell lpg if the A/C is on full and we have been stopped at the lights for minute or so. I want to re crimp all of those clamps this weekend. On the open road, the lean cruise is awesome and I think on a trip it could get close to 500kays a tank. Cheers BenJ

Necro bumping...
Can a factory dedicated gas AU II ute (Marlin if it helps), be converted to vapour injection? Or is it only for dual fuel to start on petrol? If yes, whats needed? Im assuming the parts to store and deliver to the engine bay are the same, but engine bay end would need an injector rail, and would the manifold with injector holes (Petrol unit), gas injectors, and a management system? Im assuming there is still some form of converter too?
