Hello,



Here is the presentation of a estate WP12 that I recently acquired and intend to transform to LPG.

Nissan Primera Wagon 2002
Engine: 1.6 QG16de 109cv

Extras: leather upholstery, sunroof, rear camera, xenon headlights.

In favor: - Stability, steering and brakes;
- Versatility;
- Soundproofing;
- Construction and finishing.
- Silence and elasticity of the engine;

Cons:

- Rear suspension of rigid axle uncomfortable with empty vehicle;
- Width in the rear seats;
- Visibility of the ends of the bodywork;
- Consumption at a pace;

Changes and repairs already made:

- General painting
- Engine replacement for one with 70,000 kms
- Pioneer double din radio with hands-free kit

Transformation to the LPG already scheduled for a PRINS system with valvecare.

Soon more news :)

Paulo - Portugal

Welcome to the club.

I would have thought the 1.6 would have been fairly economical already. Will you get enough improvement in mpg to make the lpg expense worth it?

True but it will take a while to pay the initial investment back.
