Converter

[Turbo z28]

Looking at a PTC converter from Fullthrottle speed, would this be the same converter if i got it from Dusty Bradford?

Same company, yes. Same converter, depends on who specs it for your combo. HTH

So I would still need it setup for my Turbo? Not a off the shelf part?

If you call Dusty he tweeks it specifically for your car and goals. I would drop him a PM and give him a call.

X2 I called Dusty and he gathered my engine specs and goal for the car and a week later I had my converter. Real pleasure to deal with...and fast!

Everything is built to the order. If I had time to get caught up I do try to keep some on the shelf but build time is rarely over 3-4 days.

X2. We got my Dad's tc in a week or less and picked up .4 first day out.

How do you know if you need more stall?

Welcome to the board...BTW, fill out our signature so when you start asking questions other members can see what parts you are working with.

A good indication would be if you have a larger turbo and it has alot of lag. Picking the right converter also depends a lot on your goals for the car. It may need to be looser down low to spool the turbo but also needs to couple at the big end. In our cars, the converter is a very important piece in ones combo...

If you have a large turbo and your car is a dog off the line you probably need more stall. You need to upgrade your converter when you have a large slip rate. You can use this calculator to determine your slip rate. - http://www.wallaceracing.com/converter-slip.php

That's Wallace calculator is a real useful tool
