air filter box

[toyv8]

after some help. Iam fitting a 3.9 efi with lpg into a hilux. do i need to fit the air filter box or can it be filtered on a snorkle as room is tight. This is for off roading/ play would you fit the lpg to it or stick to petrol.

You can come up with whatever you like for the inlet but you should use a filter, make sure it is big enough and that your snorkel pipes are big enough.

If Offroad/play then there will be no benefit with LPG just lots of hassle and a pain to find somewhere safe for the tank. LPG comes into its own when piling on the motorway miles.

Cant agree with steve-d,lpg on any engine makes sense especially a V8,my HILUX runs perfectly on LPG as does many of my off roading buddies.

I dont know which type of lpg system you intend to use[single point or multipoint],i personally would go for a single point.

1, its simple to fit

2, its simple to maintain

I had a 160 litre cylinder in my pick up, now its a tray back its only a 90 litre with a 60 litre petrol back up.

if you need any info drop me a pm,lpg is my business

.

If Kelly has a look at this ,the rear mounted rad[out of a nissan primera 1800] worked spot on , no air locks and the gauge stayed put all day.

I'm not saying there is anything wrong with an LPG system but to recover the cost of the install you need to be doing a fair few miles which will not be the case if it is just a plaything.

Yes , ok normally you would be right,but single ppoint sytems for v8,s are cheap,so the payback is a lot quicker.

Also he got the kit for zip, with the doner rangie.
