Torque converter doubts

[Devin LeBlanc]

I would personally reccomend a 3000 stall if your going to be keeping the stock turbo. I have had really good times and results with my 2800

Thanks,

Keep running it, it will be 3000 after a while!


OP - I have a 3000 stall in my car, and driving on the street is really no different than the oem converter. Most people who rode in the car never knew it was re-stalled to 3000.

Only time I notice it in the project car is backing in/out of the shed, my DD is much the same car with a stock stall so I have a direct side by side comparison

Not too much difference in my Supra Ian. The car will roll on its own at idle, just like the oem converter, engine brakes like an OEM, even has no part throttle loose feeling at cruising speed.

The one thing I do not like about higher stall converters is the loose feeling. I had a Chevy Impala with a Big Block 396 and a TH400. The 3600 stall converter in it would just let go on de-acceleration. It would not engage the tranny at cruise speed at anything under 3400 rpm and the car would not even move from a dead stop until 1800-1900 rpm. Very annoying.

The re-stalled OEM converters for the 7m have none of this and I only wish Toyota had used a stall near the 2800 to 3000 when they was new.

I remember dropping a full second off my 1/4 mile time just by changing the converter.

I can attest to SIP's 3000 stall had one in my car for a couple years it drove VERY nice.

Ive since been trying to swap to a th350 but im having issues. I only swapped for the transbrake.

Ran a High Stall behind my BBC/TH400 back in the day and it was horrible to drive at freeway speeds, modern lockup convertors are brilliant
