Venturi kits are cheaper and simpler but more modern engines aren't compatible with these. Tuned well, these can perform nearly like SGI systems up to around 4000rpm. But keep the air filter clean.

Sir ghosthunter,

Kamusta ung pinaconvert nyo na Mazda3 1.6L? If given the chance, would you do it again? Sir, how bout yung fuel consumption and effect sa power? Nagkaroon ba ng problems sir?

I'm thinking of getting my Mazda3 converted.

Thanks

So far it's been a month since the last hiccup of the CEL light. FC is about a little less than gasoline and power is roughly the same, at least in the category of accelerating the car from 0-60mph using my G-Tech performance meter (1/2 second less in LPG).

Do it again?... with the same oil price situation, yes.

I had my Mazda 3 converted and picked up last friday.
So far so good. The power seems to be the same.

I opted for the 60L cylindrical tank since I didn't mind loosing about 1/3 of my trunk space to the tank.
GreenFuel lifted the tank a bit so I can still remove the plastic cover and spare tire as seen on the picture.

I also didn't mind putting a hole in the bumper for the refueling plug

I then had the switch/gauge placed on the left most part so I can see it and the steering wheel doesn't block the view.

The Injectors are placed on the same spot as GH's M3.

The Vaporizer was placed in the different spot from GHs M3 according to Mike. Its deeper.

Wow. Congratulations sir! One of the few with even better FC on LPG. Please let us know if there are some symptoms of "irregular" engine behaviour, like rough idling or delayed acceleration, etc.

Pictures naman ng conversion sir, if any. Also, you can post Thermoline's complete details (address, numbers, contact person), para ma-post ni GH sa LPG conversion providers list natin.

I'm not an expert, but I have read in some auto LPG websites that it is called exhaust leak down.

To remedy this, run your car on petrol before turning off the engine.

to add to Mile2.. I think this is just normal. Since your car is burning the LPG and it comes off your exhaust you can still smell it. If its very strong like some cabs your mixture must be very rich but if its just a light smell then nothing to worry about.
