Less MPG but cheaper still, was gonna convert an old land rover, carb'ed cars far easier to convert. Can get DIY kits for carbed cars |

I'd be interrested to find out where to get the bits from, the drive in/out conversions (for me) make it far to expensive to convert. I've seen the future and tbh its Pie

so is it possible to put lpg on a turbo car? the only reason i havent done my mini is that i thought it wasnt possible is it dangerous when it gets compressed? Previous Engine: 1040cc Morespeed engine, 1275 turbo head T2 Turbo Mirage Manifolds Megajolt
