Not sure think it is mixer, the guy only knew to say it has aluminium intake manifold ( I'm not sure if I translated this correctly). My knowlegdge about LPG installations is very limited.

If you click on "  Povecaj sliku" it should expand the picture.
Don't know will the picture help on deciding is it mixer or direct injection

That looks like a mixer system to me... LPG is mixed in with the intake manifold air flow, making that mixture combustable. Has been known to back fire and take out airboxes  :o

Those systems are ok for a big lazy Land Rover V8 or something, but no good for hi-reving 4 pots.

I'll drop you a PM with a good link for an LPG kit at the moment  :y

Thanks for the link Tunnie.
I have a colleague here from Bulgaria, and we were looking the prices there.
There are Landi and Lovato kits with installation included for 300 EUR-s. Only problem is getting there since it is 200o miles from my location.
When kit is installed does the ECU need reprograming if you know?

Not the Vx ECU, but the LPG ECU will need programming / adjustiing. Helps if you have a laptop to do it on the move

The car ECU doesn't need reprogramming.

I wouldn't encourage fitting anything other than a Sequential kit.

Do you mean the programming software comes on that CD-rom and you do it yourself??

Basically yes, i belive its almost all there bar a few little bits (cheap enough)

I won't be attempting the my install on my own, i will need expert help. I would advise against doing it yourself unless your really confident you know you can do it right, and safely! Not sure what rules you have there, but ours have to pass certain tests.

It is the same here, so definitely wouldn't do it on my own. So probably I'll check the prices for installing.
Thanks for all the info.
