He sed its a good stup and should make 300 - 320 rwks thats some pretty decent numbers considering I had 288 when I went 10.59 @ 130!!! ull give SUXGAS a run for his record with that power Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

they are advised to be flat, thats true, i guess there must be a bit of leeway? lol and i think the distance from converter to t/b is to reduce the chance of flow interuption and also to help with starting/priming and throttle response n what not. on my old VK i had a converter mounted verticly and had at least a metre from converter to t/b and never had a problem... but obviously youd want to do it by the book in a high performance setup.

The reason that they (preferably) need to be horzontal in a GRA setup is due to the spring pressures in the converters being much less than in a "conventional" Impco / Ilko / Gas Ring setup. If they are vertical in the GRA the mixtures will wander a bit. In a "conventional" setup it is usually preferable for the converter to be vertical and in the direction of travel. One thing to watch for in the GRA setup is the dreaded full throttle stay open thing, they weren't designed for blow through and hence the throttle is not offset to try and force it shut under boost.

the top two setups are from rage racing in WA. they are doing a lot of development work with lpg injection at the moment and an ecu to control it. They also have a s4 13BT rx7 running a similar setup. http://www.profire.com.au/

My set up is still duel fuel and retains standard management and AFM. With the AFM in the piping. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

It has 140rwkw on 10psi and 750 newtons at the wheels. Trans has a kit and a 3000 high stall and runs low 13s with 18s on nankang 40 series rubber. Just a single B2 convertor, soon to be 2 and with around 16psi so it should see around 200+ at the wheels and with slicks dip into the 11s. EDIT : It ran low 13s on petrol with 180rwkws before it was rebuilt. Probably high 13s to low 14s as it is now.

Is that running a front mount intercooler or is the pipe work just deviated? can you put up a pic of the dyno sheet so I can see your mixtures with the single converter.
