Select a converter for drag car

As with most of the components is the priority of use when you select a converter. A drag race vehicle is usually easier, has radical changes of Powertrain, transmission fluid is less likely to overheating and there is no concern for miles. It is obvious that an ideal converter is required for this type of car. It has a typical engine will have range of usable power from idle up to 5.00 Rev/min. Normally, as a stock converter transfer is started you enough power to move the car at a very low speed, the usable RPM range is 5,000. The characteristics of low-speed, range of service life cam long, high u/min-manifold and headers of tube big up at idle, gains more power in the State lost at low speed, as it changes the upper end. Range of usable energy is much lower.

If a converter, the reality is 3,500 rpm on the stand is installed in a vehicle, it reduces the range of usable energy to some extent, that normal is difficult. To offer the best combination of acceleration, speed and the driving behaviour, converter, that you select should be the motor stopped right at the beginning of the range, strong torque allow. Additional increases in the stable that rpm starts to lose its good low-RPM torque range. Also major stop is usually improved sliding at high speeds accompanied and causes the heat of the ATF, greater fuel consumption and lower MPH.

Another important factor, the slide is the deterioration of gear changes. CHANGE at the same time say 5,000 rpm of the engine will be up to 3,500 rpm at the beginning of the next great in a typical 3-speed automatic transmission. If the converter is not completely RPM coupled to this change, there is a loss of acceleration, and when that is coupled converter, it's almost time to move again or they run the risk of 'red liner'. A very loose converter can improve the time track of 60 meters and eighth of a mile to a light race car and can even help with the quarter-mile time. However, a normal speed range is likely road car to lose power in the race for quarter-mile with a loose converter. You can also not the car that the full quarter-mile without hitting the "red line".

Effects to tight or loose converter

Almost an infinite amount of combinations for engine, transmission and vehicle there are weights with the availability of converters, it is difficult to make meaningful adapter performance testing. How to improve our technology of converter, is, we see more converters can multiply says couple of line and maintain the excellent coupling at high speeds. A tighter coupling will minimize the loss of transmission of MPH on the track, as well as improve the cooling oil.

Aftermarket converter

Companies in the market of accessories such as continental torque converters involve a variety of techniques to improve performance, including small converter, angles and shapes of fins for pump, turbine and stator. Use different positioning of these various components in your designs. The techniques used are generally considered trade secrets and not easily revealed as well as changes in the performance. There are a number of changes and additions to the converter of strength, reliability and customization.
