When it comes to choosing a torque converter many factors come into play when choosing the right converter. Choose the right one and you’ll be burning rubber at every stoplight but choose the wrong one and you could end up with a car that falls flat on performance. Today we’re going to shed some light on this commonly misunderstood component.

Simple and your presentation has visial aids. Really makes the difference. Good job guys!

@Aint1S 3 года назад

Darn the luck! I love my manual transmissions, but I bought a 4x4 K5... The package is a built LS1 as well a th400 that I'm going to have to install. High science, but Holley of all companies has the video that explains it the best. I remember when Holley was just about carburetors, but they may have saved me from a mistake!

@Alex-xl4xe 5 лет назад

This dude doesn't even explain how to choose a torque converter. He just explains how it works very briefly and scares you off from choosing the wrong one, then points to their tech support to choose the right one.

@HoapiliKealoha 5 лет назад

Alex true he does 😂

@theravedaddy 5 лет назад

Would you perfer that he tricks you into buying the wrong one? Does he know what vehicle you want to put 1 in?

@danmyers9372 2 года назад

And his description of what stall speed is is totally wrong.

@1windozesuk Год назад

@the Traildaddy well I think those are not the only 2 options. Either refer to tech support (best option) or sell you the wrong one. It would be nice if they took a deeper dive into it and shared some of the process they use to calculate the best converter for a given application. Maybe even present 2 scenarios and walk us through how they determine which converter for each.

@KingJT80 Год назад

@@1windozesuk ive heard two different ways either A. pick a converter that "flashes" 500-700 RPM below your peak torque or B look at the cams staring RPM range and go 500 RPM minimum over that this is why he didnt say how to because thats like asking a custom cam grinder how they do what they do. lots of science behind that and that aint free info. its how they make their money

This is the best explanation I’ve found about how a torque convert works.

@janiceparsons6475 6 лет назад

Watching in earnest. My big questions: Best rear gear and TQ stall/model with just a tune and CAI. Peak torque stock is 4250rpm. I've read two trains of thought: 1. Get a TC that stalls at or close to the peak. 2. Get a TC that stalls at 500-700 rpm below the peak. No racing(?), just street-highway. 2004 Mercury Marauder.

All that and you still didnt tell us how to select a torque converter

@joeyalfaro2323 4 года назад

For me he's first to explain how the torque converter works. In my case gm put 4.3 V8 lt1 known as baby lt in my 1995 Caprice. I want upgrade but want do it just 1 time. Things gutless on take off. Some are reporting putting 3200, 3600 so on some noticing no gain others saying daily driveability is problem

@Kastra707 Месяц назад

What do I do for an LS swap with a 6L80 that over powers the brakes when you put it in drive? Should I get a torque converter with a higher stall speed or maybe a 4l60 with a lower 1 gear ratio?

@darkshadowsx5949 2 года назад

im still no more informed on how to choose a torque converter than my grandma. I'll just paint mine red with some cool black stripes to make it go faster. maybe some flames for a performance boost when my turbo spools up.

Can a torque converter on a 09 F150 with a 6R80 with constant vibration is this normal ?? also hard shift at first second

@danmyers9372 2 года назад

Your description of stall speed is not technically correct. When converter manufacturers rate a converters stall speed they are talking about the maximum rpm the impeller can spin before the turbine starts turning. The maximum RPM that an engine can turn before the wheels start turning is almost always lower than the stall speed of the converter and varies greatly based on the engine torque, the gearing in the trans and rear end (torque multipliers), the weight of the car and even the height of the rear yires

@chrisbryant1657 2 года назад

2800 rpm stall TC

@Hot80s 3 года назад

I know that Hughes TC's state that their converters are tested on fresh big block chevys so if you install it on a small-block v8 to expect a DROP of 3-500 RPM. SO don't buy a 2000 rpm stall & shove it on a small block it will end up being almost like stock.

@barrykilts4506 11 месяцев назад

I second that,I had one built by a very good company the problem was they didn’t listen to me when I answered all they’re questions.I expected to get a 10”3000-3200 but got an11”2600-2800 for a 500hp 406 sbc.part of the info was it is ultimately going in a 72’Nova that’s not finished yet but the power train is and it’s in an 85’GMC Vandura as a test bed,what do you deduce from this.the converter actually does and will keep working just like grandma’s car!

@Hot80s 3 года назад

put it on a truck scale to get real weight, then gear ratio and what cam you got in that 440. Those 235 tires won't save you from the 440's torque. You can shove old school 295/50/15's under the read fenders with some rear lift.
