Unhappy BRC Converter on the way out...

Sup fellas,

Well i've had 5-6 years out of my BRC LPG converter and no amount of tuning will fix it, it's on its way to the converter graveyard.

What are some good brands or types of converters suitable for the mixer ring (vapour non-injected) setup on the vehicle is sig below? (Pics also in sig)

Cheers.

Cheap option in the OMVL 90 series. Seems to go ok on my EF and they're been around for yonks. But there are better options if you want to spend more money....

IMPCO model E converter, Aussie B2 (same as Impco Model e just made locally.). The Aussie B2 I use to get for around $100 and really did the job well. Mainly used on V8 setups so its got enough 'couhoonies' for a ef

$100? That's cheap, iv'e been getting quotes for around
$300 for converters. Been looking at Impco and BRC (updated model since mine) I will spend up to $300 happily to get a quality converter that will give me a nice AFR and power curve.

BRC are fine there around $220 last time I checked, if your going to get a B2 you should be running a bigger mixer like a 225

Well after much calling around i found a place in Dandy that will supply and fit a OMVL90 for $325 which i think is reasonable. Now i just have to wait a couple of weeks to get it.... damn high demand.... then chuck the cam in since LPG supply problem will be nomore. Get it all tuned and then she's gonna go ... fully sik.

Thanks for your help guys.
