Ptc 2800

Since I am on here...

I appreciate all the insight.
I was not aware that the 10" converter size would make so much difference, even with the 2800 advertised stall. Now I know.
The driveability for me is the issue here. It seems like there is an excessive amount of slippage (for me) just accelerating from a stop. It kind of reminds me of having an old Chevy small block with a high stall converter, and revving the crap out of it just to get it moving.
When getting on it, the turbo spools fine, the converter just hits too hard for me. I guess I am just one of those guys who doesn't need lightning fast spool. Not going to set the world on fire...
The converter that came out of the car was a restalled stocker. May just go back to that and avoid buying another converter.
Everyone has their preference, I guess.

Trial and error. Now you know what the "wussy" combo needs.

If you seen what I do at work you wouldn't believe they pay me like they do.

They must pay you well or you wouldnt be in this hobby:biggrin:

Yea, I would hate to have a fast spool and a converter that hits. Maybe you should trade cars with your wife

 

[ijames]

Pete, the converter is fine, you just need a bigger turbo .

There is a 2400 rpm version of this converter available. Performance will be slightly better than a restalled 12". We can restall it to something more suitable for your needs.

What is your rpm at 0# of boost? Post the info and somoene can help.

It sounds like the rating is not working with your combo or you have another issue. Wastegate sealing?? Mass air working properly and not causing a rich condition??

More stuff

When the trans was rebuilt, I had the converter restalled. According to Deltrans, the converter stall is 2300-2500. I liked the way the converter worked with the 49. Now that I have the 6157, I am guessing with the newer technology the the spool will be about the same when I reinstall the old converter.
Dusty, I appreciate the offer to restall the 10.
Killforpeace, be careful your keyboard doesn't overload your butt...

I would check it but its cold and snowing here and i think my fuel pump just went.I went to pull it out of the garage and it died.Fuel pressure gauge shows no pressure.Time for a denso.I suspect the converter is to tight.It would take about 10-12 seconds of brake torque to get it to 10 to 12 pounds of boost.It seems like it gets to 5 to 6 pounds and then has a hard time going past that.Trying to race at the track is a joke.I have to sit at the tree long after it came down to launch with #10s.
