BRC gas conversion is it any good? Or should I walk away before some one blows the car up?
-
it depends on the installer regardless of kit.. where they drill , how they drill, installation of parts, cabling, tuning etc..
so I wouldnt trust any without seeing their completed jobs and their work.. :-\
besides last year there were many faulty injectors which I hear about..
however, here they have very wide service points..

BRC are ok afaik. But as said, the best kit in the world can be ruined by a bad installer.
What car is it on? is the car reg on the uk LPG register web site?
-
Post a pic of the engine bay if pos...?
-
BRC are a good kit (Entwood has the BRC kit ;)) but, as said, the installer is the most important thing ;)
Entwood's conversion is very good but I've seen another BRC converted Omega (by a different installer) that was dreadful

Just out of interest, what have they quoted?
Ask to see some of their previous work ;)
Finally, if you are capable of DIY fitting there are good savings to be made ;) I reckon sub £800 all in ;)

personally I wouldnt trust any garage thats not recommended by another omega owner.. these engines are quite complicated for an average lpg installer.. and even a previous omega installation must not be considered as a reference unless they are recommended by the car owner.. last year I had enough problems with a friends mondeo thats lpg system installed by a prize winning BRC installation point.. and they were installing nearly hundred cars a day.. ??? and these muppets were unable to find
1) socket problems (electrical) I solved >:( >:(
2) faulty injector problems and independant mechanic solved >:(
3) their tuning abilites was so bad that it was beyond belief >:(

BRC software is dealer only? Maybe an issue if you plan to DIY tinker in the future. But it is a very good kit afaik! Second only to Prins.

Is that for a V6 or 4 pot? Sounds too cheap for BRC either way IMO so be aware ;)

Okay thanks for the heads up I will dig a bit deeper and probably chicken out if it sounds to good to be true it probably is right?
-
Yes, sounds very cheap for a V6 BRC install. Who is the installer?
-
D can recommend a good installer (assuming he's still happy with his conversion?) who doesn't charge the earth ;)
And the kit he uses is available for DIY so you can get the software for any future tweaking. :y

It was an installer out towards Thame in Oxford I can't recall the name but I'm sure it was something like LPG auto Oxford or similar I can look again on google and find out ;)
And D I may be interested could you let me know what sort of price you paid?
