1JZZ30 SOARER, LPG ISSUES. Sign In

Year of vehicle : 1992
Make of vehicle: Toyota/Lexus
Model of vehicle: Soarer/SC300
Engine size: 2.5L Twin Turbo
Mileage/Kilometers: 140,000kms.

Hey everyone.

On my 1jz soarer, I have a liquid direct injection LPG system installed..
its great, but I HATE the wiring!


It makes the engine bay look dirty and not looked after.

Is there anything I can do to hide the wires?
What kind of workshop could carry out this work?
and finally, how much might this cost?

Thanks

Looks pretty dang good right now to me. If it really bugs you those split plastic tubes are available in assorted sizes to group wires or things into both to keep protected and make it look better. Any changes take in mind to keep things away from moving parts or hot items.


IMO, I wouldn't touch it from that picture,

Joshua Regan, Please reduce the size of your images so they don't hang off the side of the page. It makes the page very difficult to read after.

I second both Tom and HT on their comments. This install looks like I did it myself. All wiring is encased in split loom and properly routed. Nothing in the pic looks like it is unsecured and rubbing. Factory harnesses in other makes have been laid with less care from day one. You had an installer who takes pride in what he does.

If you don't like what your engine bay looks like, don't open the hood. You like the financial benefits of the LPG conversion so look under the hood when you need to do maintenance and look in your wallet when you need to justify what you do not like to look of.

If you think you are going to dazzle a car show and get incrediible mileage, think again. It is useful, it saves you money, it was put together by someone who take pride in their work, and as long as the hood is down nobody needs to ever see what you deem unsightly.

He hasn't responded to my post so I'm deleting the picture for now.

Doesn't matter as like Nick said it looks good or better than a lot of OE stuff out there now. Leave it be as IMO any changes just for looks would just likely cause a problem not there now,
