Yo!

Can you install LPG system for EJ20's?

If you can recommend a place in Perth who has experience with LPG systems, and putting them into WRX's please feel free to add the details to your reply.

Thanks heaps!
Matt.

LPG is definetly better than normal petrol... But in order to get the most out of it you must do a full lpg only conversion without dual fuel and have the car tuned for LPG. Running Dual fuel in a perfromance engine is just utter crap. Dual Fuel is designed to give economy. A full conversion and lpg tune can obtain quite good results. However having said that. I have only ever seen LPG only performance setups on older 6 and 8 cyl engines.

from what i know full gas conversions can be done on any motor as long as it is tuned afterwards. I had looked into this last year. A full conversion can cost up to $5000 including tuning and also includes plug and play options so u can tune on the go with a laptop. Of course u get your $500 govt. rebate
