Advantages over other systems? Rough price?

by **AdamF** » May 29th, 2011, 8:38 pm

can you buy a second hand setup and get a gas fitter to sign it off? or have them fit it up if they must? with the rebate this would cost about sweet fa?

by **SLO4LT** » May 29th, 2011, 8:51 pm

Impco is probably the best fitted and reliable system that gets installed these days from what I've heard, although other systems could be just as good, and what adamf said^ I've got a system u could buy if u needed

by **InfernalTyrant** » May 29th, 2011, 9:01 pm

I thought there'd be rules or something that would mean you couldn't do second hand. I assume you'd have to get a RWC type kind of thing? But yeah I'd definitely have to get it done, no way I'd be able to do it.

I'll give Impco a call tomorrow and see what they say.

by **SLO4LT** » May 29th, 2011, 9:18 pm

the only thing u need to do is get the gas tank tested, other than that it should be all sweet

by **EFFalcon** » May 29th, 2011, 9:43 pm

theres nothing wrong with second hand kits.

the main thing that has to be done by a credited installer is the main service line.

Sundeep installed LPG on his EL Ghia 5L (which then became Ours) he never got it complianced, after i purchased it i pulled the service line out and had the tank tested, then had the service line and tank done professionally.
they actually said had the tank been in date they could have simply checked it over and complianced it.

saying that, i'm sure some places won't be at all interested in second hand parts or stuff that other people have worked on.

Can't find much info on the Impco website, what sort of setup is it?

by **SLO4LT** » May 29th, 2011, 10:18 pm

my setup? it's a Parnell system I think, If ur Interested it's in the fs section: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=19237#p363921

by **InfernalTyrant** » May 29th, 2011, 10:25 pm

Cheers mate I'll definitely keep it in mind and do a bit more research. Looks like a pretty decent system.

by **InfernalTyrant** » May 30th, 2011, 3:43 pm

So I called the place near me that does the conversions, said it would cost about $2450, and if I supplied the parts he'd be looking at around $1000.
So if I buy Damo's system and get it installed that's about $1300, and then I get a $1500 rebate. Seems kinda too good to be true...

by **EFFalcon** » May 30th, 2011, 5:00 pm : **TechXR Likes this post**

just make sure you get as much of the system as possible, down to the last relays/bits of wiring.

also helps if things are labeled.

in saying that, any decent LPG fitter should be able to work it out, but it may add to the cost.

we got the rebate when it was $2000, cost $800 to get tank tested, fitted, service line done and a extra fuse put in, claimed the $2000 and was laughing.

by **InfernalTyrant** » May 30th, 2011, 5:20 pm

Damn that's awesome. Only thing is though, I've got absolutely no idea what is a part of the system. If say I bought that system off Damo, what else would I need to get?

Oh John, did you get my PM?

by **EFFalcon** » May 30th, 2011, 7:04 pm

yep got it

by **InfernalTyrant** » June 2nd, 2011, 12:54 pm

Thinking of going to LPG Auto Network in Hallam. I'll have to talk to Jason about having two tunes on the J3.

LPG Auto will install a genuine American made Impco system with a 68
useable litre LPG tank mounted in the boot and will cost $2395
before the government rebate of $1500.

We will complete the Government Rebate paperwork on your behalf enabling you
to immediately claim your grant of $1500.

Each of our conversions include;
1.. Brand new spark plugs
2.. Brand new air filter
3.. 3 year manufacturer backed parts warranty
4.. Lifetime warranty on our labour
5.. All water fitting are brass
6.. All connections are soldered and fully insulated
7.. Loyalty card entitling you to a further 2 cent/lire discount when you
purchase LPG
8.. Free first 1500km LPG service

We will complete the installation in 1 day and can complete it before the
rebate drops to $1500.

Ugh, car wouldn't start this morning. It's been struggling to start for the last week or so but today it gave up. It turns over fine but won't start.

by **EFFalcon** » June 14th, 2011, 12:11 pm

check your getting spark, might be coil.

otherwise, see if you can hear the fuel pump prime, maybe dead pump?

by **InfernalTyrant** » June 14th, 2011, 12:15 pm

Nah it's not the fuel pump. I'll check the spark once somebody gets home to help me pop the bonnet. :oops:

by **InfernalTyrant** » June 14th, 2011, 6:08 pm

It was sparking fine, I just cleaned up the plugs a bit while I had the tools out.
Anyway it's starting fine now as well, seems very temperamental.

by **InfernalTyrant** » June 16th, 2011, 5:21 pm

$250 later and a fuel pump was only part of the problem. :banghead:

by **freerider** » June 16th, 2011, 6:01 pm

so what was the problem?

by **InfernalTyrant** » June 16th, 2011, 6:11 pm

No idea. Put my foot down and it just piss farts around and backfires, it's got no power.

by **freerider** » June 16th, 2011, 9:01 pm

does it idle rough? could be timing

by **InfernalTyrant** » June 16th, 2011, 10:15 pm

Nah the idle's fine. That came to my mind as well but I'm not sure... I'll take it to my mechanic next week and hopefully it will be good for next Saturday!

by **huggiebear** » June 17th, 2011, 2:29 pm

my mates old wagon had this issue. changed everything map sensor ECU fuel reg BBM conversion injectors O2 sensor coil leads plugs and what not.

he sold the car with the issue still idles fine but under load it backfires farted and over fueled.. i swear it was timing but he was one of those guys "no i did it right so it has to be something else"

by **InfernalTyrant** » June 17th, 2011, 2:35 pm

Did his at least start?
My brother in law is gonna help me have a look at it on Sunday, so I'll mention the timing then. Other than that I'll take it to the mechanic next Thursday, will probably have to get it towed there which will put me out about $100.

by **huggiebear** » June 17th, 2011, 2:51 pm

yeah his started but seemed like it had trouble starting most times.

cant remember if you mentioned it, did you spray degreaser or something inside the intake to see if it runs smooth? if it runs smooth using a spray of some sort then it wont be timing

by **InfernalTyrant** » June 17th, 2011, 3:09 pm

Nope, haven't ever heard of that. Might as well give it a shot on Sunday as well.

by **huggiebear** » June 17th, 2011, 7:05 pm

carbie cleaner works a treat. a small squirt in the intake close the throttle and turn it over. it should run smooth

by **InfernalTyrant** » June 19th, 2011, 7:21 pm

This thing is so unreliable, and that's not what I want in a car. Looking to sell this and get a ute or 4WD.

You and my both. I've made the decision to sell the EB. Simply more trouble than its worth

by **InfernalTyrant** » June 19th, 2011, 8:46 pm

Exactly. When it's working it's an extremely fun car to drive. It's just that there's almost always something wrong with it.

by **InfernalTyrant** » June 22nd, 2011, 1:06 pm

Been offered an 80 series Landcruiser for 4k. When my car gets fixed I'll go check it out and I'll probably buy it. There's nothing wrong with it and it's got shit all to do for a RWC.

by **DFP4LTR** » June 22nd, 2011, 3:52 pm

Funny, that's the exact car I had in mind to replace the boxcar. Those things are bulletproof. Plus it would be good to have all that extra space and maybe even throw a mattress in the back for long trips.

by **InfernalTyrant** » June 22nd, 2011, 4:02 pm

Yeah plus going camping would be awesome. Chuck a swag in the back and you're set.

by **InfernalTyrant** » June 24th, 2011, 5:05 pm

Car's running again, was a fucked coil.

It will be for sale as soon as I find a manual XG panelvan on gas.

by **ford_racing_8** » June 24th, 2011, 7:09 pm

Panelvan FTW... Love Em

by **InfernalTyrant** » June 24th, 2011, 7:59 pm

Will also be something different if I decide to mod it. That probably wouldn't be for a while, would just start out with an exhaust.

by **InfernalTyrant** » July 16th, 2011, 4:30 pm

So it's doing the exact same thing it did when the coil shit itself. A mate told me that not long after the coil dies the dizzy will most likely break too, any truth to this? Hoping it's not the coil again.
