    HSV for Calais

    Holden Holden Advice Holden Calais Holden Calais Advice Holden Calais 2006
    I'm considering buying a 2006/07 VE Calais V8 auto that's done 80,000-100,000 km and am considering converting it to LPG. Can you tell who supplies HSV's new LPI system and could it be fitted to my car? What would the estimated payback period on 12,000-15,000 km/yr be? Can this system be tuned for performance for both petrol and LPG with a reflashed ECU?

    I believe Orbital supplies the HSV system and I can't think of any reason that you couldn't fit an Orbital system to your car. It would have to be tuned differently, of course, because your engine is different to the HSV one. There are other liquid-injection systems available, as well as some very well developed vapour-injection systems. One you could check out is the Impco system. The beauty of injection systems is that you can tune them to produce the same performance on LPG and on petrol. Without being exact you could expect to recover the cost of installing a system in around 18 months.
