Installation of 4th generation HBO on Rav 4

Having bought a prestigious car, you need to clearly understand that its operation will entail high costs. First of all, it is, of course, fuel. The cost of gasoline is rising every year, and its quality is increasingly deteriorating. Which affects the general condition of the car and the mood of the car enthusiast. Therefore, installing HBO 4 on RAV 4 is the only correct solution.

Pros and cons of HBO on Toyota RAV 4

When you decide to install gas equipment on your car, you should not forget about its disadvantages. Like any equipment, HBO on RAV 4 has its pros and cons.

Advantages of HBO on RAV4:

Quality and ecology. It has already been proven: 4th generation LPG is an environmentally friendly fuel. The number of harmful impurities in the composition of the fuel is minimal, therefore, when released into the air, the pollution is insignificant.
Saving money. Don’t forget, reinstalling the system will pay off after about 15-20 thousand km; you shouldn’t expect benefits from the first minutes of driving on LPG. The cost of gas is half the cost of gasoline. But it should be remembered that with HBO 4, fuel consumption increases to approximately 15%. Therefore, you won’t have to wait for quick profits. It is beneficial to install gas equipment for motorists whose activities involve long trips. In this case, full payback will occur in about six months.
Combined use of both gas and gasoline. You can always change the type of fuel, and simply switch the button to make a choice. This is very beneficial when you have a long trip ahead.
Safety. Although it is believed that the operation of a gasoline fuel system is not dangerous, the facts indicate the opposite. Many cases of fires occur only due to improper use of this system. With 4th generation HBO, the thickness of the gas cylinder is up to 10 mm of steel. Even in the event of a severe collision between two cars, no harm will happen - the gas system is tens of times stronger than the standard one.
Vehicle durability:
engine performance, its adjustment, and softer idle speed are improved. This is especially noticeable when waiting in traffic jams;
the load on the activity of the piston system is reduced, anti-knock is ensured due to the higher octane number in the gas;
reduction of carbon deposits on spark plugs, pistons and valves due to the absence of impurities in the fuel;
less muffler burnout.
Butane-propane gas stations are now available in almost every big city.

Disadvantages of such equipment:

Serious interference with the vehicle. Reinstallation of any equipment in a vehicle should be carried out by an experienced technician. If we talk about Toyota, then the electronic system, namely the sensors, requires the intervention of only qualified hands in order to avoid failure of the machine.
It is difficult to find a good specialist for these types of work. Prices vary not only depending on the car brand, power and engine type, but also on the company providing the service. On average, installing HBO on RAV 3 will cost approximately 25-30 thousand rubles. If the figure is much different from the indicated one, think about whether to agree to cooperate. A very low price indicates the unprofessionalism of the workers and, most likely, indicates the installation of low-quality products. The high cost is about popularizing the company; you simply overpay for the label.

Installing LPG on TOYOTA RAV4

It is better to install gas equipment on Rav 4 in official services using high-quality 4th generation equipment: modern control units (ECUs), gearboxes, valves, racks, injectors and cylinders.

In the line of modern gas cylinder systems, you can choose the one that is suitable for a specific Rav 4 engine. Using fourth-generation gas equipment, you can gasify any car. For the latest modifications, fifth generation equipment is recommended.

Installation of gas cylinder systems varies. The process depends on the make, model and configuration of the machine.

The master negotiates the location of the equipment in advance with the owner. An ECU, a ramp with injectors, a gas reducer and a shut-off electric valve are placed under the hood. Cylinders can be placed under the underbody, in the passenger compartment or trunk, if capacity allows.

Steps required to install HBO4 on RAV4

If you have made the exact decision to change the fuel system, then, as mentioned above, you need to choose the right service company. Don’t forget, the success of the entire event depends on the qualifications of the master.

The first step is the correct selection of equipment for Toyota RAV4 with certain characteristics:

Brand: AGC Zenit Pro 4.
Gearbox: Zavoli zetta.
Rake: Reil.
Toroidal type of gas cylinder.
The volume of the cylinder is 42 liters.
Class A multivalve.

Next, decide on the service and leave the car to the technician. HBO installation time is about 8 hours. The location of the gas equipment can be discussed with the owner. 4th generation gas cylinder equipment is installed only on modern cars with injection engines. Since the operating process is almost the same as a standard fuel system. Gas is supplied by a special high-pressure reducer through injectors in the engine. Next, HBO 4 is connected to the engine cooling equipment. Sometimes you have to overhaul the muffler.

The last step is to check the equipment and diagnose the car.
