4x4 is all fitted except the propshaft as I just wanted to get that painted up and have the brackets powdercoated. I'll get it done before winter.

why have a 3.2 and put LPG on it ? :snooty:

what system are you going to use ? the last v6 i say with LPG it was making the engine run low on power when lpg wasnt on due to the system blocking air intake if its about mpg why not stick a bmw oil burner in

Will do Trev!

3.2 V6 because it's the most powerful, smoothest engine that is a direct fit to a Calibra, and the most reliable after the C20NE

LPG because it improves the throttle response, burns cleaner (oil stays golden!) and might even make more power.

It's also half the price of petrol.

That was either a faulty system or badly installed / mapped. Myself and two good mates already run LPG Vauxhall engines (one is a V6) and they run better on LPG, as you'd expect.

I've bought the best system you can get OMVL Dream 8)

I don't want a BMW engine.
