Reading through various threads, seems like there are a few dual fuel LPG converted M35's running around.

I would like to get some feedback from the M35 2.5l turbo owners who converted to LPG and have put some Km's on their engines.

There may not be any 3.5L NA conversions done as yet?

How much mileage have you covered?

What system? Vapour injection or Liquid and brand

What power level?

What mods?

Converted by?

Tuned by?

Tank size, total and useable?

Tank location?

cost before any rebates?

Cost after any rebates?

fuel economy city?

Fuel economy Highway?

any problems/notes on the conversion or improvements that could be made?

Would you recommend to somebody else?

Liquid Injection/JTG

Tuned @ 250awkw

converted by Seaview Gas

Tuned by Cihan @ Etuner

40L Torroidal(sp?) tank in the spare wheel well - 30-35L usable

Cost was $3800 I think...can't remember how much I got back in rebate. I think $1500?

City consumption was 20L/100km

Highway consumption is about 18L/100km

Everything was peachy until I removed the o2 sensor to accomodate the Wideband sensor. Everything went to shit after that - running too lean, switch over issues, etc.

Now that I know the cause of these issues, yes I recommend it if you do alot of K's. Just don't go SVI/Vapour crap,,,

Gee that consumption seems to be really high. With a/c on and in traffic I can accept 20 l/100, but 18 l/100 on the highway is a bit much?

How was it running before you removed the O2 sensor, how many km since LPG conversion and on the car in general?

Yeah its pretty high, much higher then what JTG claims (10% above PULP consumption).

Its about the same with Caltex eFlex, so 30% increase in consumption. On PULP I was getting 14-15L p/100 in the city.

It was running great before I removed the O2, that's when it was tuned @ 250awkw. After I removed the O2 and had the wideband fitted and went for a retune Cihan had to back off the tune significantly (in fact he told me not to go over 4k rpm!). It was lean as....

I had it converted in March 2010, apart from some small leaks/melted relay and removing the O2 sensor, its been ok. It runs without the O2 but no WOT for me...and switch over is a bitch.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
