Don't you get serious knock probs with the scoob? I thought LPG was seriously low octane rating?

I thought LPG has an octane rating of approx 100 RON

There's less energy per unit of fuel burned compared with petrol though.

<daft idea time>

Use a custom ECU map via a Scooby ECU to run optimised timing & fuelling for LPG. Should let you claw back quite a bit of the lost power. And there's a threat of passing an emissions test without cats!

went on ebay today and 'what do i see' autogas a company in nottingham are doing an introductory offer for any 4cyl car gas conversion for £399.00 what is going on

my question is has anyone tried this?
how does it work with a turbo vehicle?
has anyone done this?

what are your views ladies/gentleman??

 

If it isn't done by a registered outfit , then the insurance companys don't want to know .

Dave.

 

LPG on a scooby? Whatever next!

 

Seen posts on here b4 about it and I'm sure there are a few people that have had it done.
But that sort of money looks fishy, I thought it was about £1200-1500.

 

yup does sound fishy indeed matey
was just suprised at how cheap it is?????????
anyway just wanted to know if someone had done it B4!!

thanks for the response anyway

This could be the lpg kit for you to install yourself. If so then that price would be reasonable. I bought one myself for about £300 2 years ago - insatlled it myself and never looked back (this is on an Audi btw and not the scoob). I have also had no probs with insurance, just make sure you get it checked by a registered fitter who will give you a certificate.

 

ive done 3 including my scoob but you wont do a scoob for £400 more like £800 minimum.

well worth it though get 90miles for £10 in scoob now

 

well it hasnt died yet although i am going to fit a knocklink when its bac k on road i just set the gas a bit rich get 16mpg at 36p per litre cant be bothered to work it out!

other car is v6 with knock sensors on each bank doesnt seem to retard anytime even on heavy load

 

that is what i intend to do you dont really loose any power with lpg if it is done right you can run more advance too

a remap to suit lpg would be as good as petrol i very rarely use petrol now

doing my 205 xs next should be really cheap to run then

 

"well it hasnt died yet"

Must be safe then
