What RPM is a stock stall converter?
Stock Torque Converters Most stock cars will have between 1,000 – 1,400 RPM stalls. The reason that a stall converter works is easy. An engine that has 1200 RPM will only have about 80 horsepower, but at 2500 RPM it could be up to 200HP; obviously a car will launch easier at 200 HP than one at 80HP.
At what RPM does a torque converter engage?
Factory torque converters utilize around 2,000 to 2,200 rpm stall in most diesels, and they’re that way for a reason, as most factory ¾-ton pickup-sized engines spin about 3,000 to 3,500 rpm and can create full boost by about 2,000 rpm.
Is a 3000 stall converter Streetable?
Is a 3000 stall Streetable? Most of the “daily driven” street cars we build have anything from 2,400 on up to a 3,500 stall converters in them and they are very streetable with no problems. Just because a stall converter may have a 3,000 RPM rated stall does NOT mean the car won’t move until it revs to 3,000 RPM.
What is normal torque converter stall speed?
around 1,800-2,000 rpm
Stock torque converters generally have a stall speed around 1,800-2,000 rpm. Higher stall speeds become necessary when horsepower and torque happen at higher rpm ranges.
What does a 2500 RPM stall converter do?
A 2,500 stall speed doesn’t mean you need to rev the motor to 2,500 rpm for the vehicle to move.” What it does mean in this case is 2,500 rpm is the limit at which the converter will hold back the engine speed if transmission output is prohibited.
What is a 3200 stall converter?
3200 is the stall speed of the converter. Meaning at 3200 rpm and higher, the converter slip speed is nearly zero. What that means is the engine and transmission input shaft are spinning at nearly the same speed above 3200rpm. Below 3200 is where the magic happens.
How do you determine stall speed on a torque converter?
When choosing the stall speed that is right for your application, a rule of thumb is that the advertised stall speed will need to be at least 500 rpm higher than the beginning of the camshaft’s powerband. All aftermarket camshafts are delivered with a recommended RPM operating range.
What does a 2500 stall converter do?
How do I know what size stall converter I need?
When choosing the stall speed that is right for your application, a rule of thumb is that the advertised stall speed will need to be at least 500 rpm higher than the beginning of the camshaft’s powerband.
What does a 3500 stall converter do?
If the converter was a 3,500 RPM stall, then it would be at approximately 3,500 RPM in which it forces the tires to break loose.
Can you daily drive with a stall converter?
However, a stall converter will affect your daily driving by lowering your fuel economy substantially. This makes it a poor option if you’re using the car for commuting. The reason that a stall converter boosts your acceleration is that it doesn’t allow the tires to break loose until you reach a higher RPM.
