My Car is TOYOTA STERLET Soliel 92 Model of Carborator Engine 4E.
It runned 150,000 KM , KPL- 8 Km/ Liter.
I want to convert in CNG ,but here in workshop says to change the Engine.
Now can i run the vehicle with this Engine after convertion in CNG ?
How much the cost of new /Recondition Engine & where to find it ?

Why does the workshop say change your engine? What is their reason?

according to some sources i've heard that an engine change could cost from 25-35 grand.

i think they said to change it maybe becuz they cant convert a carb engine.

Go Down To Dholaikhaal...Engines are available there...and you can shop around for the prices!

Most of the new cng kits don't support carb engines.... thats why they have are suggesting u for convertion or u r engines is really messed up.. and weak... tht is the other possible reson. if u want to get a EFI 4AFE then it will cost u around 45-50 thousend.. the whole convertion. or if u get a carb-EFI 1.5 4AFE.. u might do tht in 40 thousend.....

Don't know of any shops there but if you do happen to find a suitable engine, you should perform a compression test and/or cylinder leak down test to determine the strength of the engine. any decent garage can do this for u.
