Auto torque converters

This famous 11" torque converter is our hottest selling street strip converter. Designed to give approximately RPM stall over stock a stock converter, this unit will provide a greater launch and low end power. It is engineered to withstand the punishment of full throttle starts. Our 10" Pro Launch converter is designed to be used in conjunction with high compression, nitrous oxide, bigger duration camshafts, stout gear ratios, turbochargers and blower applications.

Stall speeds of to over stock converters can be expected. Additional cooling is a must. These converters are just the ticket for high horsepower street application provided you have proper cooling and gear ratio.

Just bolt in and hang on! Designed and Powered by: AdmarkOnline. Torque Converters. Description Application Chart Performance torque converters are generally grouped by size diameter and stall speed.

Modern torque converters can multiply the torque of the engine by two to three times.

This effect only happens when the engine is turning much faster than the transmission. At higher speeds, the transmission catches up to the engine, eventually moving at almost the same speed. Ideally, though, the transmission would move at exactly the same speed as the engine, because this difference in speed wastes power. This is part of the reason why cars with automatic transmissions get worse gas mileage than cars with manual transmissions.

To counter this effect, some cars have a torque converter with a lockup clutch. When the two halves of the torque converter get up to speed, this clutch locks them together, eliminating the slippage and improving efficiency.
