Nightscream - The 1.6 Turbo SRi Nav progression thread

[Ernst]

There has been plans for that but unfortunately have read horror stories about bent valves even using the lube system.

My father-in-law had an Astra-H 1.6 (non-turbo) with LPG, he experience the horror story himself. Burned valves, total bill about 3000 euro. His OPC Insignia drive without issues on LPG, but hadn't made too much miles.

On the other hand, I've driven a Corsa-D 1.2 with LPG and the lube system, the values were in perfect shape after 200.000 km. The rest of the engine however was a different store, that was scrapped due to high oil and coolant usage, completely worn-out .
I was wondering if you had any success stories about a 1.6 turbo on LPG, it doesn't look like the best engine for LPG conversion (if there are any good GM engines for LPG)

There have been success stories with LPG conversion on other makes of cars but not too sure about GM. Like you mentioned your father in law has unfortunately experienced first hand LPG conversion that has failed in time. You only notice the damage after prolong use, it is a risk doing the conversion unless you know someone else who has performed it on theirs and been successful after running for a number of years.

Just let the forum resize it. It's set bigger for everyone now 150x150. Should be no problems. Mines set to that and looks ok
