Well lets see, besides what you did everything else gets expensive. Besides a ram air type intake which might give you a little more horsepower. That might run you $400 depending on what you choose. The only other things to do are injectors, intercooler and a new turbo. Those are expensive.

So, you are running an LPG/Diesel conversion?
Ahh.. the questions...
I know there is more power, but how much does it increase the mpg?
And, any mechanics out there not promoting a conversion... does it destroy the engine?

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 12-Apr-02 AT 02:04 PM (EST)]Robert,
I am not personally running propane injection, its just simply known as the way to make the cheapest horsepower.
It is supposed to produce a cleaner burning engine, more hp, more mpg, no effect on longevity/durability.
I think that they may be saying it gives better mpgs because you run 3/4 diesel, 1/4 propane. Therefore 25% better diesel mileage.
