here is no single answer to that.
It would be $4500 to $6000 depending on who you get the price from and what brand kit they use. |

i just dont fully know the differences in set up from normal lpg conversion to liquid fuel injection. so in response to chris sieclay, are they parts for liquid gas injection or just the normal lpg?
cheers, matt |

Not sure whats done to your ute, but unless you want the kit for power? Personally I would go vapor injection. There are alot of good vapor kits getting around now days. As good as liquid injection is it is just way over priced.

Nah man not really drives very similar to petrol I have the missus Ba Fairlane with a XR8 motor and my Ba wagon with a XR6 turbo motor on vapor injection I am happy with both.

hmmmmm well i guess if i put xr6 engine in my car then put vapor injection on it will be about the same power, maybe even more then i have at the moment

Yeah mate on your au if its just a standard motor chances are you will have the same power if not just a tad more.

What is the Gas set up that compresses at a higher rate than petrol?
I think it may be the vapour kit... but I was talking to a mates Dad about it, and he said that it is colder, therefore compresses more etc. Injecting directly into the cylinder heads rather than having the mess around like the conventional method of LPG, giving you a boost in power I think this might be the kit MA77US is thinking of.

So what type of gas conversion is that?

Sorry to tell you but the factory fitted Ford LPG is not liquid injection. Its not even vapour injection. Its old school, see the single gas line going into the mixer/throttle body? ah ok man no worries.. scratch that one. yeah i can see the difference from this one.. http://www.goauto.com.au/mellor/mellor. ...
