    Hello.
    2008 Mondeo MK4 with 2.0 Duratec gasoline engine, version FLEX-FUEL (reinforced valves).
    I plan to insert an LPG installation into it.
    Will the kit from the list below be a good choice? (Price around PLN 2,000)

    Installation from any auction. The R-02 reducer is up to 136KM. Like something R01.
    I propose separate AC w03 injectors.
    Look for an authorized service center because people have traveled with these promotions more than once because the workshops have closed.

    ...too cheap. A decent installation for this car will cost about PLN 2,500-2800. What you have there is the cheapest kit. It will probably ride somehow, but I would not risk it. As above, do not take the rail, only single injectors, and definitely too inefficient reducer.

    KME TUR absolutely, unless you want to rock. 4x barracuda drilled in the head - flaps !!!! W03 will not fit in with the culture. QBOX basic will save PLN 100. The rest do whatever you like.
    After 100kkm, the exhaust valves will disappear 100%, I do not believe in anything reinforced .....

    Until recently, I had such a mondziak, with the Polish optima nano driver, plus the shark 1200 reducer, barracuda 1x4, Ultra 360 ° filter, it drove like a dream

    Optima does not work properly in engines with EGR, so in this car it will not be good even though it drives like a dream and the valves are flying like freezing.

    but what do you mean with this EGR valve?
    After all, no installation has a "special option" for servicing EURO 5 cars equipped with an EGR valve.

    I fly OPTIMA and it's elegant. To protect the valve seats (in every car), you can set the Pb extra injection - you just need to know that you can and be able to do it. You can also install "doing nothing" lubrication. 8-) Greetings.

    You don't even know about lube - low and medium duty suction valves are protected and I will not explain to you why. Adding PB is better not to install LPG, because if you want to do something, you would have to add 20%. I do not add anything, I do not use RPM corrections and I always have a good dose and I have no problems with valves because I know the problem and have a solution.
    In the previous post I included everything about optimias.
    Amen.

    I don't know what posdtaie you are questioning my knowledge on. Lubricant valves are protected under low and medium loads - this is very interesting :) Good luck with your continued work :)

    Lubra works in such a way that when you have a vacuum, oil flies to the valves and covers them. The fire at the end of combustion of the mixture and the high temperature just before opening the valve burns out the oil, which carries the valve away and thus the valve is not damaged. Did you know Have you checked? Unfortunately, the WOT system is limping and does not protect the exhaust valves. There are vvt engines where lube is like morphine for a dying man and it will pull a little more.

    I knew :) I also saw valves stuck and sealed with oil. Interesting metaphor with this morphine.

    Nobody said that there are no side effects, but let's say there are engines which, thanks to this muck, can run several times longer on gas than without. If someone plans to do 100kkm on LPG, it can be done and without it it is impossible.
    Since you know, I have explained the lubricant and I will not explain the essence of EGR - you can repay because it is ecology and what is happening inside the engine is black magic.

    Ok. It's all about exhaust gas recirculation. The valve, controlled by the vehicle's ECU, usually opens at low to medium loads. Introducing the exhaust gas (without oxygen) into the combustion chamber pollutes the air (oxygen) from the intake. This lowers the combustion temperature and slows down the combustion process, thanks to which nitrogen oxides burn better, but unfortunately carbon deposits build up and engine power drops :) Everyone has their own opinion and preferences. With LPG systems, I trust Optima, you don't. You trust the lubrication, I don't. Fine. They don't pay me to promote the optima, they don't pay you to promote lubrication systems. On the other hand, the installation of lubrication and the sale of oil are an additional benefit. Does not matter. I finish my speech and get ready to watch the game. Greetings :)

    Unfortunately, another rule of ala wiki .... Yes, less oxygen is less of everything that contains oxygen, but that's not the point. What is going on, a friend will think and add something clever. I am fascinated by why the producers lower the engine power, since they are currently fighting for each horse from 1 liter, which can be seen, for example, 20 years ago 40KM and today 70KM. What else does such a system carry when we connect to the engine with LPG?
    Please give me a quote. Where do I install lube? From what I know, I wrote that I have no problem with the valves because I know where the problem is, and this does not mean that I install lubricant. No, I do not assemble and I do not burn out the exhausts, so having the knowledge of what protects lubricants, my solutions must be different - lubricants with a pump for the exhaust manifold also fall off :-D
    best regards
