Gotcha , now lets add. The converter cooler circuit was done properly in 1964 and in the years following parts were removed to save money so we now 46 years later have to put it back in. Hutch

It may take a few days and just for you I will look through old racepak files to see if I kept that before switching to a properly regulated system which I don't even data log anymore because its a flat boring line that never changes at WOT. This data goes back 5 years and im my personal case it...

Yes I do. Go back to page 1. I listed the results there. Hutch

The pressures don't get over 100 psi in THAT graph. That doesn't mean they will all be like that one even with the same system pressure and restrictor size. There are too many variables and with that said you guys can theorize until you puke blood but the fix will still be a regulator controlled...

OT / clap trap . English , speak english. I am dumb farmer , can you rephrase this for me. Hutch

The effects are documented. I had a turbo car that would eat a thrust in 1 pass. I mean chew it right off to the effect of .030" after a pass. I made adjustments and we went to the track to test. The static cooler pressure was intact and we were ready to test. We made 3 passes which consisted...

A pressure regulator built into the cooler system fixes the problem but its nice to see others views and comments. Hutch

Suppose the graph you are looking at which shows the spikes has a restrictor right off the regulator AND has another restrictor in the lower cooler line port in the pump. You see the spike but not to the extent you should and the pressure seems quite low? Maybe someone is just trying to show you...

Looks like a gold cheapy SFI flexplate, I think they are slightly thicker than stock but still retain the lightening holes. Hutch

Nice graph and YES a flexy flexplate will help absorb those spikes along with a nice free crank/converter pilot and enough room between converter parts and any crankshaft attaching hardware to be able to flex properly. Poor desgin converter pilots that are made without an undercut really...

Thanks guys.:) Hutch

Is that bad?:eek: Hutch

Guys , you really don't know what im all about (im a newb here) but let me assure you , its not my first T400 build here. Im not here to argue just answering the question with factual data.:) What I posted about pressure fluctuations are factual (we are talking about race transmissions with...

The original post was about having a flexplate that was flexible. Originally he stated he had a solid no hole style flexplate which is very ridgid. Assuming the converter charge pressure was 60psi we can then calculate the force upon the flexplate at which time based on the diameter of the bolt...

Thats great but you are assuming the forces on the "flex" plate are constant and they are not so this is not the case. Hutch
