I'm looking at doing this as my next mod, anyone have this on there automatics?? If so what is your reaction?? Is it worth it? How much was installation? Did you hit the track, if so what was your time before, and after teh torque converter? And where did you purchase yours?

I'm trying to go all motor, before I go with any boost, or NOS..Thanks

 

are you joking or am i just really confused?

 

You are confused. Its been done, and it shows nice gains. 3000rpm stall + nitrous = quick 1/4mile times. Its just expensive to do and you have to pair it up with the VB mod or DR mod inorder for you to keep your tranny long.

 

He means a high-stall torque converted. Usually it is paired with a fully built auto tranny, therefore not many members of this board have one.

All automatics have one, you shlthead.

 

I really want to do this mod too, but I think that I need to upgrade my 5spd to a 7spd or the torque converter will not shift the synergy from the knibbler pin.

 

oh ok, i've read about those before. I should have realized thats what he meant.

 

WTF are u talking about? Change your trans to a 5 speed or a 7 speed? I think a torque conv is the least of your problems, (think your a bit confused, or high ) besides i don't think there are to many comp that make a high performance convertor for our cars. High stall is mainly for use when u have high performance cams they work in sync for idling and launching.

 

ugh...no. if you are gonna do all motor i suggest doing the following:
- intake
- y-pipe (+ straight pipe if u want)
- catback
- UDP
- MEVI
- JWT ECU
- pathfinder TB
- run synthetic and oem filter
- do all maintance
- super light rim
- weight deduction (get a lot of CF stuff)
- octane booster



................................

- 5spd swap
- upgrade clutch and flywheel
- perfect launching like nealoc or ceasar
- put hella stickers around ur car and buy my altezzas RIGHT NOW! that's like 6782953 WHP+

ugh...hope that helped...

 

btw...automagic loses more drivetrain due to torque convertor, therefore 5spd swap will aid your problem.

 

Don't listen to them. You can get a high stall torque converter for about $400-$600. You will have to drop the tranny, I reccommend a shop doing and it will probally be the same amount for instalation. It multiplies the torque at launch greatly, and throughtout the powerband a little. You could expect .3-.5 second off your 1/4 mile time with full exhuast, intake, and chip.

 

Really who makes one for a maxima? so u think that the ide won't be effected by this? haven't u ever owned a v8 hot rod with a cam? it needs a bigger stall torque convertor, if he gets a bigger torque convertor and no other work such as cams which are about 2000.00 installed he will be asking for trouble, but its your money

 

im surprised u guys didnt read my other posts b4, i have a built ProTC (it is the same size and weight as out TC)but i will drop the tranny myself within a month, like i said b4, i know som1 that gteched a 7.1 0-60 b4 TC, after the TC he did a 6.5 0-60, (isnt that the 0-60 time for a slightly modded 5 speed????) ,it helps alot

 

so where did he get his/your t/c? i wasn't aware that anyone made one for our cars?

 

yes now u r aware...www.protorque.com
this TC combined with the DR mod/or VB Mod and a tranny cooler of course
Protorque can custimize just about any TC, it does not greatly affect our stall speed, not just the stall speed, but they build it so u dont lose all that power that our autos do, this gives our autos less of a disadvantage Vs a manual.
i have one ready to drop it in my tranny, but i dont have the $$ for a shop to do it, just waiting for the right day to do it myself, i will let u guys know how it is

 

so ur saying that based on the gtech with the ProTC, automagic from 0-60 slightly faster than modded 5spd?









then i wonder why the hell there was more people doing the 5spd swap than dropping a ProTC...

 

im just going with the Gtech numbers on the auto. No one knew about this torque convertor. I would also like to do a 5 speed swap but dont have the $$$.
Of course the 5 speed will always have an advantage.
The 0-60 on the auto was fully modded. Just read the website on what protorque has to offer

 

I already have some mods on my car:

Vbmod
Y-pipes
UDP
CAI intake

TB Pathfinder, <--- trying to look for one
Catback<----- I heard the crap out on us

 

There are at least three people that have one or did have one. All of them saw increased performance with little affect on everyday driveability. A big kicker with this mod id the install. While the part is relatively cheap ($300-$400), the install is a little to involved for most to try on their own.

This is for a 3-rd gen but it gives good info.

If I stay auto, this will be one of my next mods.

 

Yes the install is the most painful part, with Protorq, they dont only make high stall with no driveability loss for our cars, but they also build the insides of the TC, the catch is u will need to give them your original TC to get theirs plus $430 plus install it

 

If you are going to drop the tranny, get a lsd like the phantom grip. This combined with high stall should create excellent launches.
