Results from my Diesel/Gas conversion....

Howdy folks.

Just thought Id post some results from my Diesel/Gas conversion if you are interested?

Like most 1HZ's (non turbo'd) I imagine, I used to get anywhere between 12-13 litres per 100km highway. A bit more when wizzing around town. Now, on my last few highway outings, I have averaged 10.9, 11.1 & 11.2 with similar highway driving. Not a bad improvement.

I did the conversion for a couple reasons. 1st, I couldnt afford a turbo to be fitted (& also bit concerned about longevity of motor) & schools & organisations I worked with sponsored me to do so. So, If I can get better power & economy & less carbon emissions at a cost effective price, I thought why not (especialy how I have heard alot of good stories about it).

Outlay normally = $4500. gov grant - $1500. school assistance = $1000, so $1500 it cost me.

As well as better economy I have noticed more power (bit perkier), particularly much longer 'legs' up hill. I also like the fact that I am reducing my carbon emissions. Whether you agree with carbon induced climate change or not, its nice to know that you are polluting less into the air.

I have felt that its driving better as time goes on (maybe my imagination?). Like it does claim, maybe its clearing out the carbon deposits & soot, restoring a bit of power & extending engine life.

Either way, Im happy with it. Suppposed to be even more effective when applied to a turbo. Might be a handy idea for travelling around Aussy....

Cheers
