LPG Conversion Carby vs EFI

Post by DiddyZook »

If I have a 4.2 Petrol carby GQ Patrol and I can get hold of a LPG set-up off of a 4.2 Petrol EFI GQ Patrol:

What can I use?

What can't be used?

What will I still need to get?

Should only need the carby adaptor and air cleaner.

Give a man fish and feed him for a day.

Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

And what sort of price are you asking for your system if you don't mind me asking?

What make etc?

Any idea on the carby adaptor, this is most probably the bits I need to find out about

You will need to buy a mixer hat to sit ontop of the carby that should be about it and maybe a safety switch

The EFI kit may include some form of feedback from the oxygen sensor in the exhaust system. Such things were unheard of with carburettors, and therefore the system may be looking for some form of input in order to operate correctly.
