There's a lot there I didn't read but why aren't you rebuilding this yourself? Time?
Yes, but ....Let's say that you normally shift out of first at 50mph. With your current converter your engine has to accelerate with the car up to 50mph. With a good high stall converter your engine is already there and pulling, and has to wait for the car to catch up. Watch that video I told you about. The car is accelerating, but the engine isn't until the car catches up with it.How does that work.
Dose that give me 1,000RPM before I shift?
All converters have some slip. The amount of slip is based on the amount of force the engine is applying on one end, and how much resistance on the other end(car weight, wind, hills, ect). If the forces are balanced no slip. This is the difference between a $300 and a $1,000 converter. It's ability to balance these forces.I still dont understand.
Imagine that I'm super dumb and explain it.
I thought that at a set number. (Let's say 3 grand stall. )The TC Was not slipping. At a RMP below that it was slipping?
At cruze (2,800) am I still slipping?
Right now I'm running a stock 318 converter. It stalls about 1,200. .
Cool, I just making sure you were well aware that you're trading your great talent and skill for mere parts replacement.J par, he's just gonna change out the parts
I know I should do it my self but he wants to trade. I'm just kinda looking to get something of value out of him. Honestly i just want to do his cage so he will tell everyone that i did it and hopefully bring me more busines.
318
I think my tach is on but I can check it. I've got a fair amount of torque as shown by the ability to destroy my 10.5 slicks so I'm guessing after 200,000 miles the original converter is slightly worn out....
Lenny is awesome! You won’t be disappointed. He’s getting ready to build me another one for my new combo.So I caved. I called Lenny at Ultimate and hes gonna build me a converter. I forget all the details but it will be 3,500 stall and a bunch of other BS that sounded way above my pay grade...
