  • Bora on LPG

    Hi there.

    does anyone know if it is possible or had any experience putting a Bora (or even a jetta) on LPG.

    thanks

        I agree, I've got a Bora:V6:4m and it gets great k's. Just run good fuel (i only use 98 ) and you'll get a great run. Although my company pays for my fuel so I never pay attention to costs

          really wouldnt put a Euro car on gas in Australia!
          there are plenty of awesome perfoemance gas systems for holdens and fords but i can gaurentee that there is going to be none for a VW and no one will be able to tune it properly so you will get bad mileage and bad performance...

                    Some companies/systems are better than others. Chances are you will suffer though...

                      Gas-Research comes to mind. As said you could do it but whether its worth the money is another thing.

                        I am looking into the new Liquid Inject LPG , that coupled with the
                        new tanks available [ eg Donut shape ], would be a pretty good set up.
                        I am fortunate enough to have VW expert out at Penrith - who I trust to tune
                        any thing.

                        I'll let you know what the prices are for the bits - I'm expecting them to be very high..............
                        but you never know.
                        The New Torroidal tanks [ Donut ] are $700.

                            I was thinking about this the other day seeing as we get the rebate from the govt.... would go full lpg instead of petrol/lpg hybrid as i would lose too much boot space (rip out petrol tank and replace with lpg donut tanks would be ideal)....just wondering if its feasible
