The TSB3-G, B5, B6, B7 and CB2 engines are eligible for use with a turbosupercharger. Accordingly, the ratings listed above are based on 100 °F carburetor air temperature with 31 in.Hg. exhaust back pressure for sea level ratings and standard atmospheric exhaust back pressures for altitude ratings. To maintain "Maximum Continuous" power under conditions with higher carburetor air temperature and/or higher exhaust back pressure, the manifold pressure may be increased up to a maximum of 56 in.Hg. for the TSB3-G, B6, and CB2 and to 53 in.Hg. for the B5 and B7 to compensate for loss of power provided neither 43 in. (abs.) Hg. exhaust back pressure nor 130 °F carburetor air temperature is exceeded. NOTE 4. The takeoff rating for the TSB3-G, B5, B5, B7 and CB2 engines with anti-detonant injection is eligible when the engines are equipped with water injection regulator no. 106455. Anti-detonant fluid of 12.8 lbs/min. are required at 3500 BHP and 11.8 lbs/min. at 3250 BHP. This fluid may be composed of any of the following solutions by volume: 1. Methyl Alcohol 50%, water 50% 2. Methyl Alcohol 60%, water 40% Per Pratt & Whitney Specification 509 3. Methyl Alcohol 25%, Ethyl alcohol 25%, Water 50% 4. Methyl Alcohol 60%, water 40% anticorrosion oil 1%, per British Specification D-Eng. R.D. 2470, dated January 8, 1946. NOTE 5. Specifications formerly listed for Model VSB11-G have been omitted since all of these engines have been converted to Model B13 engines. En gines Nos. P774 to 777, P811 to 817, P916, 917, 920 to 924 differ from other B13 engines in that they incorporated originally, early design types of the following parts: Cylinder heads; main oil pump; ignition harness; intake valves; guides, washers, and cam follower rollers. NOTE 6. (a) The B5 engine is identical to the single-speed, single-stage TSB3-G engine except for the fuel used, and the power ratings. (b) The B6 engine is a conversion model from the TSB3-G, and incorporates essentiall y a new power section, nose section (including torquemeter and reduction gears), and low tension ignition system. TSB3-G cylinders, supercharger, and rear sections are retained. (c) The B7 engine is identical to the B6 engine except for the fuel used and the power ratings. (d) The CB2 engine is a further modified version of the B6 engine, incorporating "C" type cylinders with improved cooling provisions. (e) The B14 is similar to the B13 except for the fuel used and the power ratings. NOTE 7. A manifold pressure regulator may be employed at an additional weight of 12 lbs. NOTE 8. Ignition timing may be manually advanced to 28 ° BTC for cruise operation. NOTE 9. The CB2 engine is eligible for operation on grade 100/130 fuel at the following reduced ratings: HP RPM HP ALT. Maximum continuous Critical altitude 2650 2550 50.0 3000 S.L. pressure, altitude 2650 2550 50.5 S.L. Takeoff (dry) Critical altitude 3000 2700 56.0 1700 S.L. pressure, altitude 3000 2700 56.0 S.L. Takeoff (with anti-detonant injection) Critical altitude 3250 2700 56.5 900 S.L. pressure, altitude 3250 2700 56.5 S.L. NOTE 10. The following spark plugs are approved on these engines: AC 161, 171, 181, 261, 271, 281 BG 240, 245, 340, 341, 345, 346, RB19R-2, RB27R, RB27R-1, RB39R.
