lpg gas conversions prado

Jew

I am currently looking at the same, but for a 99 Prado.

My understanding is that by installing a fast lube kit, it lubricate the valves and stops these problems.

Currently in WA State Govt is giving a further $1000 to install gas, so it makes it very attractive to install.

Only problem is the 8 week plus waiting period !

Plenty people run them on 90 series list...

Hey Jew!!
I converted a prado to gas where i work. With yours being a 2001 model there is no warranty concerns. So why wouldn't you convert. The only concern with Toyotas (this includes any toyota with bucket type tappets) is you MUST get you tappets checked and adjusted regulary, probably every 40,000km. Yes this adds a bit to the price of a service/tune, but for the thousands of dollars you will save every 40,000km would it hurt to pay a few hundred to do the tappets???
And i dont want to hang bleep on Mr Fitch, but if those fuel catalysts are so good why aren't any manufactures fitting them to new cars, with fuel economy being a BIG selling point of any new car.
Just some food for thought.
Hope this can help solve any questions you had.
Cheers Andrew

Once again, Bill S you have answered unasked questions.

Once again, put your money where your mouth is and PROVE BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT that your $2 worth of tin balls actually does something.

Have a look here for a link about costs involved in a dyno test. Why not contact the Dyno center named in the thread???

Not that expensive is it??? Less than the cost of one of your tin cans, and you could legally write it off as a tax deduction for R&D.

You could solve your credibility problems on this forum sooooo easily................................

I know a lady that has her 90 series Grande into Peter Daveys Toyota's in Prospect and she has nothing but troubles with it. it keeps stuffing up the air flow meter I think. Ford's are the only cars that add gas in there cars from new , but they made the engine to suit it. My old GQ had gas but eventually it gave problems to the heads just like it will do to Toyota engines, The Gas installers only want your money, they won't fix your engine if it stuffs up down the track

I hope Bill reads all this and sees that there are not too many people willing to pay $600 for some ball bearings and he apologises to JEW who asked a simple question and had to read all the crap that Bill created.
