HM decides to increase sales of their age old classic model – Ambassador in the country. They are planning to sell 12,500 units this year with the introduction of their new fuel efficient engine. This engine will be compliant with the Bharat Stage 2 & 3 emission norms. It’s probably delivering the mileage of 16 km/l against a 11 km/l mileage from the existing diesel engine.

    * The powerful 1.8 litre isuzu engine is more responsive.
    The radial tires are standard in many variants to get better action and performance
    * 2000 diesel is ok better select the TURBO version
    * 1500 is under powered try to avoid as much as possible
    :One strong reason to love is its Rear seat comfortable and its leg room.

    the interior is not as markable when compared to the morden era
    The design is still lags a lot

Please let me know where can I do this conversion. How much will be the cost of conversion. where can I have the engine. Please mail me at earliest

    FOR WHT CAR YOU LOOKING FOR .
    IF YOUR LOOKING FOR AMBASADOR MEANS YOU GOT 1800ISZ OR 2000ISZ DLS TURBO OR ORDENARY

    There are two option either you go for the Diesel or LPG conversion.

    The cost of conversion for Diesel is Rs 1,05,000 (plus fitting charges) and for LPG kit is Rs 15, 000.

    But with diesel you can get an average of 12 km/ ltr and from LPG 09 km/ ltr (If your ambassador does 10km/ ltr with petrol.
