P38 LPG

Looking for some advise on an LPG system for a P38 4.6.

Local LR specialist has recommended one company who fits the Prins VSI
system for £2150+vat, (probably the very top end?) or the "budget"
Bigas system for £1850+

I'm sure I've caught Badger on another forum recommending OMVL (dream
11?)

Others I have spoke to have recommended BRC.

Rather confused now.

Just spoke to another company who have offered the Prins system for
£1950+, which is tempting.

Anyone had any dealings with Hets Autogas, in Knebworth?

Sorry for vague ramblings but any experiences, advice gratefully
received.

I install OMVL Dream 21N systems on these, have done quite a few now, both
Gems and Motronic (Thor) versions with no issues. Personally, I feel that
Prins, although good quality, doesn't quite have the same backup as OMVL,
and I just wouldn't touch BRC. It's worth noting that most of the current
SGI systems all use the same electronics/software, to a degree, all made by
AEB srl. of Italy! So, whether you go for OMVL, Romano, Bigas, etc etc it's
basically the same kit in a different box!
OMVL currently have the best injectors on the market, they are more
responsive than all the others and can respond down to 2ms pulse time, this
allows much greater accuracy of fuel metering with larger nozzles that are
capable of flowing the required ammount of gas under heavy throttle openings
at high rpm's. A lot of the differences between the different makes are down
to quality of parts used and different injectors. I genuinely feel that the
OMVL kit is some of the best on the market - that's why it's all I fit.
For a P38, Gems would come in at £1750, Thor at £1820(ish). (there is more
work involved in removing the inlet to fit the injector nozzles on a thor).
This is with a 95ltr torroidal tank in the spare wheel well, you also need
to loose or cut-down the foam insert that holds the jack etc. No vat to add
as I'm not vat reg., but I'm in the north of Scotland so probably not much
cop!

OK, understood, and thanks for the info.

Started talking to some OMVL dealers, one of which recommended the
OMVL Piro kit over the Dream 21N.

Had a quote close to yours for the Piro system from LPG Auto
Conversions in Kent.

Again, anyone have any knowledge of them?

You might want to as Damian Bunn on here : http://www.lpgforum.co.uk/

He is down that way and had a lot of problems - hence the forum!
