forkout the extra cash and go 2 the gas man dude, trust me on that 1

Also what kit is the other installer going to fit??? its its a impco like the gas man fit then tell they if they can meet half way as if my memory serves me right the gas man also replace airfilter and fit lpg spark plugs as well for that amount. I know it works like that at there alexandria branch.

remember to claim your $2000 government rebate after the install, so then it would only cost you 400 after rebate or 650 if you went that more expensive option.

Also make sure you request a impco 200 mixer, impco L series converter and the impco lean bios lpg processor. Alot of impco installers dont know much about the impco lean bios lpg processor as its relitavly knew and most installers use a basic lpg computer as its easier to install and mucking around as there lazy BAS#@$DS

since you guys seem to be in the know, why does almost everyone running a turbo on a falcon down there have a gas conversion? because i havent seen anyone in queensland doing it, is it an emissions thing or what?

Its easier to pass emmisions

Cheap to run on

Easy conversion and cheaper compared to a fuel setup

Some people just want to run a LPG setup on there turbo falcon and why not as you can get unreal performance at half the cost but the conversion and tuning needs to be done by someone that knows what there doing.

Hey mickey thanks for all ur replys sorry for my late reply..


i havent gone yet but i found 3 people that do 400$ conversions (after rebate)

theirs David Lindon which is the name of the place and he said theirs 2 years unlimited k's warranty ext ext ..sparks are replaced, dunno what system.

the other is Elko which does Elko systems and that place gives 1 year labour warranty 2 years part with sparks replaced.


is the extra 250 worth the system .. my dads the one thats gonna be paying caus i dont work and hes like find the cheapest installer even though i told him cheaper = higher chance of shit going wrong ext.

i was personaly thinking go with the David Lindon work shop ... based on 2 years unlimited k's (i think he said tune ups are included in warranty)


what do u think mickey?

Ask him what LPG system he is going to use and if its IMPCO or AIROD then there good kits, but tell your old man that the gas man is a very good LPG installer and have a name in the industry. So if it was me id go there becuz they do very neat work and matt is a good tuner so u carnt go past him.

I'd get on Ebay and buy a 2nd hand tank, a model L convertor & an impco 200 or 220 mixer.
Pay $700-$800 for installation + the extra $200 for hoses and bits & pieces needed, then get the $2000 rebate and be happy with a economical car and the $1000 profit in your bank account.
:thumbsup: :good: :thumbsup: :good: :thumbsup: :good: :thumbsup: :good:

I have done this several times already since the rebate has come into effect, and am about to be doing it again shortly...

Airod is a good system and you can contact the head office/distributor on http://www.medauto.com.au/frameset.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Ask them whatever question you have and ask for a reputable installer and mention the installer u have in mind as they do keep there installers in a tight loop.
