physh Member 248 Member For: 22y 6m 22d Location: Canberra Posted 19/09/05 04:01 AM Share Posted 19/09/05 04:01 AM I'm looking for anyone who's actually converted a BAI/BAII XR6 or XR6T (or even F6) to LPG or dual fuel.I want to know if it's possible, and whether new LPG systems are worth getting - I had an LPG install in 1999 on an EL XR6, it was awesome but backfired every now and then, and suffered a bit on the power side.I'm interested to hear first hand information (or if you know anyone who has, can you please pass on some info from them?)I've looked into all the LiquiPhase and new GTi system etc, but they are all a long way off.Any info on new-technology LPG conversions that are actually commercially available are welcomed...Thanks!Nick Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/20164-baibaiibf-lpg-on-xr6-or-xr6t/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

By a fiesta or something else.Having said that. Gas research dandenong (VIC) do convert cars to lpg with turbo systems.

(excluding race fuel of course)Im not talking about a dual fuel setup.

physh Member 248 Member For: 22y 6m 22d Location: Canberra Posted 20/09/05 04:26 AM Author Share Posted 20/09/05 04:26 AM I wouldn't mind straight LPG.Dual fuel gives greater range but kills the boot capacity and means more complex control systems.And as for why bother at all...Why not get the looks and the power of an XR6 Turbo, along with SIGNIFICANTLY lower running costs (I do at least 35,000km a year) as well?I know which one I'd choose between a Fiesta vs Falcon for 2 adults and 3 kids between Canberra, Sydney and Melbourne... Hmm... Each to their own, I'm looking for anyone who's done it.
