this kit is almost complete, it would require the gauging and switch panel wires soldering back together (not overly difficult), copper fuel pipe replacing (cheap enough on ebay, aswell as a matter of course) possibly a new fill point if you were fussy although the main body of it is fine. finally the cover on the tank could do with replacing although its still there it is cracked.
the tank mountings could do with some work, a stud is snapped and 2 strap mounts arent included. these can be bought or manufactured.

the basics. LPG is a much cheaper fuel, almost half price in some cases. this does have the down side of being slightly less efficient but for cruising and driving to work i'd doubt if you'd notice it. this kit does offer the choice of switching between petrol and LPG at the press of a button so you can still keep the performance when you want to have fun.

kit was seen running before i removed it, i can include some pictures of the process of removal to aid refitting.

BRC seem to be one of the better kit on the market and dealers are still operating in the uk.

any questions i'll try to help answer them, or point you in the right direction.

looking for circa £300 for the kit,

collection only from norfolk although i could deliver by hand if you're in a reasonable distance for some pocket money.

regards

removed for a JDM 4th gen, should fit a uk no problem and i forsee no good reason why not to a 5th gen, I researched fitting it to an ATR and came to the conclusion there should be no issue.

So I take it this is exclusively for the H22 then? (Probably a stupid question)

no, it can be fitted to anything 4 cylinder, just the fact it has a h22 manifold already modified for it.

Cheap price for a pre-made h22 lpg kit!

I started prepping my engine for a similar system (lpg inlets on the manifold) but had issues with space in the EK.

It is a sequential system, yes? Because if it is there's no need for the valve saver treatment as all you have to do is run the system in mixer mode...85% lpg and 15% super unleaded at all times will keep the engine safe.

As for the lpg's energy (calorific value), it has less energy than super but this can be compensated for by open the lpg injectors for slightly longer...no loss in performance!

Someone buy this kit and save yourself ££££
