But now cost of it this set is about 3 times gasolnie 4th gen and not popular in cars, but so mutch truck use it.

Taco v8, so I didn’t hear you mention running natural gas instead of propane. Thoughts? I know the tdi can runon either, one is a cleaner gas and one has more power per energy unit, LNg is cheaper etc.. but what’s your thoughts on tuning cng vs propane? I’ve seen a few tdis running the nat gas. Great video btw.

Stag in Europe literally do an ECU controlled version of this with one injector per intake runner, knock sensor and egt sensors to control how much lpg to add... Running things on lpg is common here my 330i has been running lpg for more then 100k miles now. Oh you can also get liquid lpg injection.

Great job man - so it sprays gas in during boost, does that mean the diesel injectors are unchanged, they don't know about the LPG/propane/CNG going in to the intake? I was hoping to do this to my T4 for better fuel economy, but if it's more like a NOS system then I guess it only gives more power?

If you turn the main switch the controls the power to the boost switch. The regulator never gonna release propane unless the boost switch send the signal and only if you have the switch on inside the car. You can adjust your boost pressure switch yes. To kick propane in at some different boost level. Like example only will spray propane at 20psi and up if you under 20 it doesn’t matter if you have the main switch on it won’t spray until it reaches 20psi and up. If you decelerated than you car won’t built boost and the boost switch will cut spraying. My personal boost set in the boost switch is 7psi because my foot is very light. But i will suggest to set it at 10psi and go from there. You will feel the kick.

Hi. It looks simple, but also complicated. You say, you got the kit and the evaporator-regulator was already set. My biggest concern: this system interferes with diesel system. Diesel mixture must be lets say 15:1 ratio. And if you add another same part of propane, then it's 15:2. Its way to rich. Unless a regulator must be set like 10-20 perc from it's normal capacity running lpg on other usual petrol engine. Knowing that diesel engines always run lean, that extra 10-20perc lpg would not make big difference in ratio. Watched video about nissan skyactic tech. That was some incredible engine efficienty.
