MONKEYmark Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Originally posted by migster Does anyone know what sort of power the high stall torque converters can take? Roughly i would think your gearbox would break first. the auto box supposed to be good for 400-500 bhp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted February 4, 2004 Author Share Posted February 4, 2004 Originally posted by migster Does anyone know what sort of power the high stall torque converters can take?

dude Posted February 6, 2004 Author Share Posted February 6, 2004 Heres a link to how a TC works http://www.victrans.com/works.html Also investigating how to fit a lock up switch that is foolproof and will ONLY work in 3rd gear , this will be more user friendly and get much better mileage !!!!

eyefi Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 how much does it affect milage? what about extra cooling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted February 6, 2004 Author Share Posted February 6, 2004 In my case and most others mileage will prob decrease drastically as you wont stop screaming around with the tyres on fire and a big grin on yer face !!!! As far as motorway driving only slightly but you need to be gentle on the throttle so as to increase speed without slip , this is where the lock up switch will really come into its own . Cooling does need to be addressd but everyone needs different advise , it all depends on the type of use the car will be put too and the mods it has , a large tube and fin cooler is relatively inexpensive and a small fan can be added to make it even more efficient , im going to run 2 large coolers one with a thermostatically controled fan !!!!

Roy Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 had a ride in dude's today and he showed me how the converter worked. HOLY SH*T!! was about all i could gasp out at the end of all that snaking about (as usual, he just HAD to switch off the traction control off didn't he ). this is an amazing piece of hardware. the instantaneous boost WHILE ttc mode is unbelievable!! he tried it in sequential but it was silly - slipping all over the place with the tyres scrabbling for grip. dude managed to provide instant fog (the burning rubber kind) to several patrons exiting the local automotive mecca (halfrauds) by burning rubber in the handicapped bay!! nutter ... a nice local matron n what i took to be her son very crossly told dude not to misbehave but dude being dude replied with something suitably fruity whereupon her son (later found out that it was her husband) got a bit shirty b4 dude cooled him down by getting out of the car and making strange gesticulative motions:innocent: dude - why is it everytime i talk to you, i either get hungry or wanna buy something ? anyways - a big thank you for all your help and the unending entertainment value you provide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted February 7, 2004 Author Share Posted February 7, 2004 I have now decided that my TC has magic powers it makes most cars dissapear it causes a strange mist at will it made Roy stop talking ,turn white and lose his appetite I also have reason to believe that CJ who i took out afterwards is now sporting a perm and speaks english correctly !!!!

CJ Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 OK, forget the perm (for those of you who don't know me I am of the shaven headed variety) and the properly spoken English (I am Welsh) lets cut to the chase. I went out with dude yesterday expecting the car to be quick. I expected to feel a big kick when it "took off". Well, my expectations were totally wrong. It isn't quick, it is friggin ballistic. It doesnt give a kick, it gives you "G" force feelings. This is probably the quickest sensation I have ever felt in a car - bar none! And, when you consider that the car had to propel dude, me (trust me, I am no light weight) and my son who weighs in at 10 stone then the experience is even more incredible. One word of warning. If your bank balance is low, if your credit cards are maxed out or if you have promised your partner that the next big spend wil be on the house, do not go into the car and sample the speed and thrust (ooer). If you do, you will be smitten and will defo want this done to your car. Oh, BTW, did I mention I thought it was good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
