Gday, l`m in the need to run a 2nd B2 convertor, so l can run more boost and hopefully blow some up, only running 10 pounds at the moment, l`d like to run 16 pounds so whats the most horsepower anyone out there has made only running one B2 convertor and thats with the GRA mixers

I have the patrol with 215rwkw on 33" tyres and running a single B2.. It would be making around 250rwkw or more on the standard tyres.. The guy who tunned it gave me a graph that showed the A/F ratio and when put up on the graph that GRA have on there site it runs rich when on boost. Rick.

Yes you can run more RWKW than the quoted 180 RWKW, but for how long, the longer you demand power and the more you demand, the less time your convertor has to convert it to gas, and will supply less and less gas untill it freezes. Hope this helps, Steve. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

They can flow about 40% more power for about 30 seconds, so Its O.K for the strip if your not staging a burnout for to long, Or In a Burnout comp. But realy there Isnt many situations you'd require that power for that long. Cheers, steve.

Hope this helps, Steve. I had my car on the dyno on Sat, got 129.8 rwKw and then the air/fuel just dropped off like mad ! 4th gear, it was on 11.5:1 up to 160kmhr then as soon as it got to the 130ish rwkw mark there was no more LPG. I'm running a a single B2 with the plastic cover, 440cfm throttle body with 6psi boost. (the dyno was in LPG compansation mode) Now i was gonna just wind up the boost untill I get to the 13:1 mark, but am wondering what to do to stop it from dropping out in the top end, I have a CTI module but will this fix the problem if installed?.... any one know what checks I can go through to get this 200rwkw Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
