Hi,

Just wondering how much it would cost to convert a VX to LPG and is direct injection available on the ecotec, or is it only available on the alloytec's? Also I live in Melbourne so recommendations for places would be great :D

Thanks!

For a VX (being pre-Jan 2004) there's three systems available - old school mixer, vapour injection, and liquid injection.

Personally i'd recommend vapour injection, but it's a matter of opinion. I like the Impco-BRC Sequent Plug & Drive system (I have this in my VT) as it's an aftermarket version of the Sequent system used by Holden in the factory LPG VE's.

Take a look at my post #2 in this thread it should help.

i know people who work at impco, and LPGAS1 in lilydale uses the impco systems which personally i think run the best on the ecotecs... im getting mine done soon aswell.

dont forget that the government gives 1500 dollar cash-back with conversions so it shouldnt be too expensive. cheers
