Just wondering if the 2.0lt is the same layout as the 1.6lt or is it a different engine completely?

LPG from Nubira 2lt to 1.6lt 16V ?

Hi Guys

Just been offered an LPG system from a 2.0 LT Nubira and wonder if anyone knows if it will go straight on to a 1.6LT, 16V Nubira?
If not any ideas how much needs to be changed to get it working?


cheers guys

i had the same problem before and it was the O2 sensor by the way, it was damaged but the CEL didnt come on yet, and it got on just right before i replace the sensor ;) Thanks for that, thinking back it may have been when i first cleaned the airflow sensor when i lost the 4000 boost. There must be ...

OK this is getting silly, time for a re-cap: Problem: Lack of power at the low end, everything fine after 4000 rpm. Possible causes: lack of servicing, e.g, plugs, fuel filter, air filter. Leaking exhaust, small blow in the front down pipe where the spring is. VIGS, sticking or inoperative. Things d...

Shot in the dark... You have a 1.6L... which means your engine is equipped with VGIS (variable intake geometry)... Typically the VGIS opens at higher RPMS. Perhaps by some really strange fluke your control canister got blocked or the actuator is stuck and the manifold is stuck in high RPM mode. I c...

Your on your third cleaning, have you done anymore fuel filter replacements or looked at the fuel in the current one? Any injector cleaner I have ever used is clear. And did not change the color of the fuel. A brand called "Berrymans" (sp?) Another popular product is called "Sea Foam" I believe it ...

Ok checked the VGIS and that seems to be working OK, opens and closes when removing and reattaching the vacume hose so i take it its not the problem. On the Clutch thing, mine was just changed at 93000 for the first time. It still had some meat left on it but the thrust bearing gave up and i do driv...
