Hi All, thank you for the information given, much appreciated.

Tom

Am thinking of driving to Malaysia and crossing at Pengkalan Kubor is this possible, have passport for the car, what about insurance, can you buy just for a few weeks or does it have to be for 1 year.

Alternatively can we park up safely and cross on foot, we wish to end up in either Tumpat or Khota Baharu and take the jungle train to Singapore.

Any information would be thank fully received.

Regards Tom

Hi All, took my car to be re-tuned Wednesday, unfortunately it did not get that far, contacted the guy to let him know, he sent a couple of his local friends to assess the situation, the cam sensor was replaced, now revs to 6600rmp third gear hard acceleration, he will be in Pattaya for Bira, will call to my home to re-tune.

Regards Tom

Hi All, thank you for all the information, Taking the car to be re-tuned Wednesday.

Been in touch with Atiker LPG head quarters IN Turkey, they in turn contacted Bangkok who are going to get in touch with the installer of the system to see what system installed and see if anything can be done.

Regards Tom

Hi All, will the atiker LPG system be able to deliver enough gas to the engine under hard acceleration, with the turbo running, or will the lpg system need to be modified.

Will the ecu need re-tuning now that lpg has been installed.

Regards Tom

The engine was tuned on the road before the LPG system was installed, cannot say whether it did rev over 5000rmp or not.

The engine already had the turbo installed.

Tom

Recently had installed into my Nissan SR20 DET Greddy Turbo TD06-20G with Sard injectors, a new F-Con HKS gold colour ECU. This was tuned to run on 91 gasohol, but the engine will not rev to more than 5000rmp max in third gear hard throttle, since have had LPG installed with a higher output regulator, same problem persists.

Have been told it is the ECU, but on the other hand it is the fuel pump, this needs to changed to a higher rate pump, if this is the case what PSI rated pump should I install.

The LPG, can any thing be done here.

Any information would be gratefully received, thank you in anticipation.

Tom

Hi All, after being in touch with an e-bay seller, and after seeing photos of my engine, SR20DET, Garret 20G Turbo, Sard Injectors and wiring harness, he says the HKS F-CON 42011-AK003 will not work and that I will need to use either a Silver or Gold F-CON ECU, would you agree with this scenario.

Hi All, when replacing the old silver F-Con ECU, with a new F-Con, is just a matter wiring in, using the harness that is already in place, plug and play so to speak?. All the connectors do appear to be the same as the old.

Does the new F-CON come in standard middle of the road tune, which then needs to be remapped to suit the engine set up I have now?

Thanking you in anticipation.

Regards Tom

Hi All, thank you for input, I did think at the time, why did he not charge me. Looks like my best bet is to install a new F-Con ECU, will start to look around for a unit.

Regards Tom

The F-Con was remapped on the road, by K.Bon, he was recommended by a member of this website, he called to see me with a colleague adjacent to my home on his way back from Bira, agreed to pay him 10000 Baht, he did not make a charge for the work, which surprised me.

The F-Con started to smoke after 30 seconds of running the engine next morning, turned off ignition, disconnected the battery.

A burnt out diode or transistor as well as a chip were both in evidence after the acrid burning smell.

As far as I know no problems were evident during the tuning, an exhaust gas analiser was used as well as a lap top connected.

Regards Tom

Had my F-con piggy back ecu remapped, it burnt out next morning after 30 seconds of engine running, F-con Bangkok say it cannot be repaired.

Does any one know of a good electrician who can check and reinstate the original SR20 DET ECU.

The engine also has a turbo and sard injectors.

Have had no luck with people saying they will turn up and sort the problem.

Luckily the car is at my home in Pattaya Near the Dolphin Round about at the bottom of Pattaya Nua Road. but cannot be driven.

Regards Tom

Hi Thank's for the information, the stand alone ECU Megasquirt 3, can this be tuned by my self or by a professional.

Regards Tom

I have a Nissan SR20 DET Turbo engine, Turbo Greddy TD06-20G, can this engine be run on LPG, it has a piggy back ECU F-Con HKS.

Also at what revs should the turbo kick in for normal every day driving, it is a 5 speed manual gearbox.

Regards Tom

F-Con fuel and ignition timer,piggy back on SR20DET

Any one have info on ecu tuning.

Regards Tom

HI All, I always fill my LPG tank to the maximum, I find you can get between 5 and 10 liters more into the tank after the pump says full, is this likely to lead to a problem, this I do on long journeys to save to many fuel stops.

To date we have owned a Suzuki Caribean, A Jeep Cherokee and two 4 liter Wranglers with no engine problems, although The Suzuki and on one occasion the first Wrangler refused to switch back to petrol, both faults easily fixed. No overheating problems, engine oil stays clean, oil pressure reads ok.

The Cherokee and the latest Wrangler have a valve saver fluid container fitted.

On long runs we get app 6.5 to 7 kilometers per liter at 1900 revs 90 to 100 kph.

Tom

I owned a Jeep Cherokee for a couple of years, think it was around 1990, ran on LPG, had no real problems in that time, sold it on and got my money back, bought it from Manhiem Auctions in Bangkok,did around 6.75 kilometers per liter long runs of 1000 kilometers going up country, am now on my second 4.0 liter Wrangler, again on long runs 6.50 kilometers per liter, the most recent one have had valve saver fitted at around 1500 Baht, the first one got more than my money back after 2 years, no problems, ran on LPG, the guy who bought it from me more than happy.

Regards Tom

Hi, I have AXA insurance, class 3, they include 24 hour emergency assistance for vehicles up to 15 years old, they have proved to be helpful in the past, taking my 2 ton Jeep to a garage, also giving me advise where to get my windshield replaced in the far north at Songcran.

Tom

You will also need a Doctors medical certificate.

Tom

I am considering replacing the standard air filter and box on my 4.0 liter 6 cyl engine, for a none standard cone type filter, what are the implications to do with this, can the same efficiency be obtained, what size filter and other ancillaries will be required.

Regards Tom

Hi All, problem solved, after discovering the map sensor was the problem I investigated further, the wiring had become frayed where it went into the wiring loom, this was caused by the lpg valve having a too long a bolt fitted, so every time you passed over rough surface this made contact with the wires, causing the engine not to run properly or short out the map sensor causing the engine to stop.

Thank you All for your input.

Tom

Hi All, returned to day with all three licenses, they were a little reluctant to renew The Samlor license, i.e motor tricycle, ( tuk tuk ) as far as I know at the time I obtained this I was the first foreigner in Pattaya to do so, it being a separate driving test to

the car and motor cycle.Documents required were 3 original certificates of residency, 3 separate Doctors certificates, 3 pass port copies, front page and visa.

Tom

Hi, you wish to see a copy of the license or the samlor.

Tom

I need to renew 3, 5 year licenses at the same time, will 3 residency as well as 3 doctors certificates be required.
