Post Sun Apr 10, 2011 8:17 pm

I like that. What gas kit are you using? Mine's got a 70L/62L of gas toroidal in the spare footwell, 630x250mm.

Post Sun Apr 10, 2011 8:43 pm

Very nice !

Is that Medway City Estate

Post Sun Apr 10, 2011 8:57 pm

Very nice

Post Sun Apr 10, 2011 9:11 pm

I'm in the process of building something similar, but after my recent annoyances with LPG and megasquirt I'm having second thoughts about ruining a decent running turbo 325i

what engine management are you running? any further details on the LPG hardware? I can't see any injectors so I assume you're running single point straight into the airbox? How well does this cope with being under boost?

Apologies, so many questions! It's great to see that someone has actually achieved this! Amazing car!

Post Sun Apr 10, 2011 9:46 pm

Sorry to all.I shoult write that in first post.
Im mechanic for last 15-20 years and im running my workshop for last couple of years.Small business with 101% customer satisf..LPG conversions around 17 years now.I will try to help any one as much as i can.But main thing is ive allways love e30 and i had to have one

*Ilkorin* No thats not single point!!!! Its fully injection system (sorry i have to write this yes im that good in lpg conversions if i will have a chance to come on one of the meetings you will see)

-Engine managment its still Motronic 1.3 with standalone LPG ecu.Im waiting to save some cash now for SMT8 just to play with igniton timming.As a said in first post its only setup to run on lpg. 2x350bhp lpg regulators,high flow valves,13mm polly pipes for lpg suply,stag300plus lpg ecu(ive tried to setup lpg on prins ecu but did not have enough adjustments)

*Steve* Howdid you know its Medway City Estate?

*Rallygaz* I dont know.Would have to count all $$$ ive spend.

BTW ANY ONE IS MORE THAN WELCOME IF NEED A HELP OR HAVING PROBS WITH BM^S

lovely looking car and sounds GREAT

nice

Post Tue Apr 12, 2011 12:55 pm

I'm definitely impressed with your skills! Might even have some work for you when the time comes! What injectors are you using then? And dual regulators? are they feeding separate rails? I have no clue when it comes to high power LPG setups...Megasquirt is my biggest limitation when it comes to LPG as it can't change injector profiles when I switch fuels. I'd be interested to know how you do with SMT8 or if you ever do a switching circuit on motronic...

*ILKORIN* 2 x magic jet lpg regulators (latest piston technology) + magic jet injectors up to 80% duty cycle.

Post Fri Jun 24, 2011 2:22 pm

Awesome build. A proper breakdown of your LPG setup would be much appreciated, I'm planning on doing something very similar to you

Post Mon Sep 19, 2011 8:36 pm

Right.First hello.
Im just so exited......i know sund wierd but just come back from road test in my freshly
rebuild m20 turbo back in e30.
we was pushing 30psi of boost---> yes 2bar of boost
dont know what to say on 5th gear accelerate like stock m20b25 on 1gear or revers.
unbeliveble.
havent been so happy for long time.

Stance on the Borbets is spot on.
