This is a hardened hub for durability and a clean fit with your
transmission seal. We set very strict tolerances with the run-out on
our torque converters. This measurement is taken from the hub in
conjunction with the pilot. All of our torque converters are set at
+ or - 0.005 to 0.03. This will give you better overall performance
and a longer last torque converter.
IMPELLER IS WELDED
The Impeller is also known as the pump. This is the side of the
converter that goes toward the transmission. We weld the fins in to
draw the metal. This also makes the fins much stronger than other
methods. We also bend some of the fins to control the fluid in order
to reach a desired stall. The impeller works using the spinning
force from the engine and the fins to pump the fluid. The impellers
use the fins in order to direct the fluid to reach a certain
pressure to drive the transmission.
STATOR
We use many different pitched fined stators in order to reach the
many different stalls we offer. We rarely cut the stator because of
the slippage that can be created. The sprag and race are hardened to
give long life and fight heat as well. Our stators are built to
handle very high horse-powered engines. By obtaining the stall using
this method, it allows our torque converters to put more of your
engines power to the ground. It also makes our parts create less
heat, making them more efficient.
WELDED TURBINES
Our turbines are tightened and then welded just as our impeller is.
This makes the fins in the turbine tighten up in order to take a lot
of abuse. Our turbines also feature a hardened spline. These
features allow our parts to take more abuse and gain durability. We
build our parts to last under extreme duress.
FIBER WASHER PLACEMENT
Every where possible, we are trying to take out the weak spots in
all of the converters. In some of the converters we have replaced
the fiber washers/spacers with an Aircraft Quality Aluminum spacer
that can handle well beyond the rest of the converter.
OVER SIZED BEARINGS
We have gotten rid of all of the waffle bearings and have replaced
them with high quality and high strength bearings. In our high stall
converters, we use a heavy duty bearing that comes out of a stamping
press. This means it can take the shocking, extreme abuse that is
demanded by serious, high horsepower engines.
HIGH TECH WELDS
Our welds are a military style of positive charged weld. We MIG weld
all of our converters with a fusion type. This means we get a hot
weld that sprays the wire to the metal with such a high temp that it
actually makes the weld stronger than the other ones. We do not cut
any corners with our welds on our converters.
