not that i am thinking of doing this, but...

can you have a scooby converted to run on gas without remapping etc...?

just curiuos if anyone knows what the result would be (apart from a bit less bhp)

i am sure you can run it on lpg but if nonstandard would need to be mapped i presume

so with a standard ecu map you need alter nothing else? hhhmmm interesting. i wonder how much power would be lost? anyone got any ideas?

say for instance on a jdm 95 wagon 220bhp standard

I seem to remember reading an article a while back that said LPG conversions not recommended for turbo charged cars.
I cannot remember the reason why though!

MY HUSBAND HAD HIS SCOOBY GAS CONVERTED DONT KNOW ABOUT THE MAPPING BIT, BUT THERE IS A VERY SLIGHT LOSS OF POWER WHEN PULLING AWAY BUT RUNS NORMAL OTHERWISE. NOW SPEND £12 A WEEK INSTEAD OF £40 A WEEK FOR ABOUT 250 MILES.

yeah i was looking into having it converted but with the price of having it done in the first place u dont really save much in the long run unless u ocver alot of miles.

just looked on a conversion company's website and specified the car (£1600 for conversion) they didnt mention any probs with turbos. surprising. they recon £850 pa saving doing 12,000 miles.

if the power loss was negligible then maybe...

no stop it.

deandevy - does your car still sound as sweet?

DEANDEVY

YES THE CAR SOUNDS AND RUNS EXACTLY THE SAME AS IT DID BEFORE, BUT MY BANK BALANCE IS BETTER.
