Torque Convertor

[JAYMBUTLER]

I Am Looking To Buy A New Converoer. I Want A 2800 To 3200 Stall. It Needs To Be A Lockup. Any Reccomendations.

L/u torque converter

I have a 12" 3200 stall "pats" lock/up t/c that I put in my 87 GN about 1K miles ago. Works perfect I am upgrading to a 10" "pats" along with a complete engine overhaul. Let me know if you are interested.

No offense, but dont buy a 12" unless you are getting a STEAL.

Full Throttle has a Pats 10" 3200 LU for around $500

Or you can get a Precision 9.5" 3200 LU for $730 from Jimmys.... GREAT warranty on these...

ummmmmm... and how do you know a 12" converter doesn't work we only ran mid/low 11s for years with a stock D5 .. many have gone 10's with restalled D5's

Did I say it didnt work, I dont see that in my quote???
I just meant why buy a 12" if you can get a 10" for a couple hundred bucks more and get better performance out of it. You cant tell me that less rotating mass isnt going to help out...

I beleive in spending money on something ONCE, not a hundred times... thats just me.

I wonder how many tenths you would have picked up had you spent the money on a 10 or 9.5" converter on those cars...

200 to $500 is a big difference to most these cars were faster than most around here with all sorts of "stuff" in them .. this is funny from a guy like you crying about prices being out of your "budget" :redface:

 

[SS/GNX]

A guy like me? You dont know me... so dont pretend.

And that was a nice way of saying you are out of your mind in your asking price, so forget it. I paid half the amount the next day.

And some parts are WORTH the extra money, and some just hold radiators down, so a hunk of metal is a hunk of metal..

Congrats, you are the first person on these boards that I have found NOT to be a nice, helpful person. You obviously use it to make money on over priced junk parts.

Im done writing in this thread so fire away, i wont pay any attention

Sorry to the guy whos thread this is... its gotten way off track, but I dont like being attacked by other members... thats twice now...

I wish you luck no matter what you decide to do. As "crabby old bastard" has said you can get a restalled stocker if you like, or you can spend a couple hundred more and get something with less rotating mass.

 

[Grumpy]

nope don't know you .. don't really care ..

back on topic

how fast you looking to run ??? It's really easy to turn the car into a $$$ pit

 

[JAYMBUTLER]

I HAVE BEEN RUNNING 12.20s WITH THE STOCK CONVERTER. BEST 60 FT TIME SO FAR IS 1.98. WOULD LIKE TO DROP THE 60 TO 1.80.

I have had a 12" restalled and it was ok with a 49. I like the 9.5" or 10" if you can swing the extra cash. But it depends on what turbo you get too. A 44/49/GT32 is fine with a restalled 12 inch. But will spool a lot faster on the street with a 10" or 9.5". As far as track times I would say a 44/49/32 will be close with a restalled 12" or 10". Biggest thing at the track is making boost at the line. I have a 10" 2800 Neal Chane with a GT32 and it makes boost as soon as you touch the gas.

 

[JAYMBUTLER]

I Have A Te44. I Would Like To Come Out On 4-5 Lbs Of Boost.

 

[JAYMBUTLER]

Also Do I Need One With The Anti Ballooning Plate. I Will Not Be Using Nitrous Or A Transbrake. I Dont Want To Go Cheap But I Also Dont Want To Spend More Than I Need.

 

[Sweet6]

If it was me, I'd get a 10" Pats or Neal Chance. Both are around $500. That will give you some room to grow too if you end up getting a bigger turbo. I think these converters are a good medium between the Vigilante and restalled 12". I'd probably go with a 3000 stall to give you a little room to grow just in case. Let us know what you decide.

 

[JAYMBUTLER]

I Called Pats This A.m. And Ordered The 10" Lockup.

Let me know how this works for you, I think I'm right behind you with the same purchase:smile:
