CNG, Auto-Gaz Centrum, sequential (multi-port) injection system
I will using a sequential (multi-port) injection system, Auto-Gaz Centrum made by Zenit. Just started the under hood install yesterday. Almost done under hood. Need to run high pressure line and tidy-up wiring still. Next I will be installing the tanks in the rear (spare tire well). Here's some pics for now.
KIT
Injectors plumbed to intake manifold
Pressure regulator wired and plumbed

Looks like you could use this.https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/show...=post+pictures

Looks good. PLEASE post some pics of the tank install when you get it in. I am looking at systems to install in my HHR and looking at options for tanks. I would like to have around 14 gal capacity and from what I have seen I will need to go with two small tanks to get that capacity in the rear.

Tanks in, all plumbing completed.
Here's a few more pics of tank and fill nozzle, one-way check valve and 1/4 ball valve. The tank is out of a Crown Victoria, size 9gge, travel range should be between 200-215 miles. It was a lot more work than my last car to plumb tank. More details and pics later.

Finish Tank Install Pics
Here are some finished product of tank install. Some my wonder why bother with CNG. For me unleaded regular is over $4.05 and climbing. CNG local to me is $1.62 a gallon. It cost me $21.54 tops to drive 400 miles weekly for work, compared to $53.87 on gasoline .So annual cost is $1120 compared to $2801. In less than a year the kit will pay for itself, after that I save minimum of almost $1700 a year on fuel.

Guess whatyes in the same location. I did not want to raise the center of gravity any more than it is now with the cng tanks. I purchased a new battery in hopes it last as long as original battery(6 years).
The ride height at the rear dropped about 3/8''. I will be adding a rear sway bar to keep it more stable, even than before.
Programing is very user friendly. Initial calibration is done by measuring rpm drop with gasoline injector at idle and 3000 rpm and matching cng injector by increasing or decreasing needed duty cycle to give equal rpm drop. Sounds confusing, but not really. More details on how it runs and works. Too much to digest at one time.

Super charger next?
Kinda funny. Because this mod is not High Performance, there is no response. I don't blame you guys, now that I'm getting older and thinking about my pocket book more. I end up modding towards saving money and not HP. If it were up to me and I was single, it would have a blower to turbo on it now. Who knows, I can still super charge it! That will make my wife love me more.
