Any IS200 with LPG in here?
Any IS200 with LPG in here?
I think it would be good to hear any experiences like problems, mileage on LPG, what manufacturer they preferred, do they use flash-lube etc...
I am interested on doing the conversion but i am very skeptical if the 1G-FE engine with VVTI and the intake system with variable-length inlet runners is suited for this...
Thanks in advance for any input

The Gas bottle although safe takes up a fair bit of room, so you either loose the spare wheel or have an ugly cylinder in the boot taking up what little room you have there already.
Oh also tell your insurance as it is a modification and will require the correct certification or in the event of an accident they may decide your not covered.
