Justin Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Looking for early interest. This piece of kit was my best ever mod and helped take my 1/4 times down from 13.0 to 11.6 seconds. It is 18 months old. It won't be off the car until October so you can save up now. I am putting my stock torque converter back in to do long track days. I don't have room for a decent cooler in my front end as I have loads of other silly stuff in the places where coolers normally would go so a reluctant sale Collection or shipping on top or I can leave it at Phoenix in Watford who can fit it for you. Best offer wins. I'll close the offer on October 1st. PM me if you want it. No time wasters please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Garfy Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 can you explain to me how this works in normal driving? does it mean the car is always reving higher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 I could but it's easier if you click here. http://auto.howstuffworks.com/torque-converter2.htm No it isn't always revving higher. The best way for me to explain it is like this. Imagine you have a manual transmission car. You have your foot on the throttle with the clutch in full and are revving to 3800 revs, just before 2nd turbo time, then it is up to you how quickly you want to take off. If you want to do a super fast launch then you would let the clutch out quickly, if you want to pull away normally you let the clutch out gently. With the hi stall the car won't start moving until 3800 revs where as before it would start moving at 2200 revs and be bogged down in that horrible sluggish part of your torque curve waiting for your turbos to spool up. Once you are going it is like normal again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDR Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Can certainly vouch for these PI hi stalls - it's also the brand I run in my car. If you want to surprise those scoobies at the lights or at the dragstrip then this is the part you want to be fitting Cheers, Brian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
