Hi All
Great site joined today.
Have just bought (last night - in rain, in dark will I ever learn) an LS 400 so stick me down as interested in the LPG group if Pete can make it happen.
Modern system, tank in spare wheel well.
Cheers
Nick
I think a conversion at this price, although possible, would be very basic and come with reliability issues due to having to use cheap parts.... you do get what you pay for with LPG parts..... having said that the prices have dropped a bit lately so you never know....
Will not be a problem
IS will be cheaper as you have less cylinders and the front end kits are priced on cylinders not cc's
He never lets anything but first class work out the door...... Any single point system is prone to backfires, this is nothing to do with the LPG kit but to do with worn or defective standard ignition system, the ignition system has to be maintained in tip top condition.....
The 300 engine when in the RX is known for valve seat recession.... but strangely not in the GS.... I thought the engines were the same.... maybe its because a lot of people use the RX for towing.... not a problem though, a flashlube kit (upper cylinder lubricant) can be fitted to ensure valves stay OK.... all other Lexus engines are fine on LPG
The 400 has bank fireing standard injectors, not sequential, so no great benefit in fitting multi point, I have asked him to price for both... biggest tank will be boot mounted, so you would loose boot space.... spare wheel toroidal keeps boot space....
Totally agree Chris... do you want the Lexus doing or that snail thing you own!!!!!
If anyone wants to see the standard that these kits will be fitted see my thread here

The only difference between mine and a customers car is that we usually left it up to them to refit the carpet around the gas tank if they wanted to.... we usually just left them out, most people don't care about it, but I was fussey and wanted it to look right... It can be done at the time of fitting but it does take a while to make it look nice so it costs more....
