Intlcutlass Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 The "Correct" one to use I know is an FL9B (10 inch?) - 1895 RPM BUT , would a FJ9B work? It's rated for 2060 rpm. What would be the differences? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idbeast Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Nope, it dogs the car down and the turbo spool sucks due to the RPM differances... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboGTU Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 YES it would work. Not much difference. 160 rpm isn't something major. 2700 is. 1500 is. The FJ9B would "slightly" help it launch better...if you feel it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGPilot Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Why would a torque converter that has a higher stall speed bog a motor? :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbtk2 Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 That torque convertor should be slightly better for launching then stock and won't even really be a noticable difference. Shawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intlcutlass Posted December 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Thats cool.... I was looking to make sure IF ANYTHING that it works. Because I probably won't even feel the difference , thats ok with me. It is one of those if anything, it's an improvment.....I needed one, and the price was right....

idbeast Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Why would a torque converter that has a higher stall speed bog a motor? :? I don't know, the guy that did the pink tranny for the Red 89 insisted on putting in the higher RPM, I agreed, after he agreed that if it didn't work better he would replace it NO Charge... (which he did scratching his head and saying it should have worked)... I'm only speaking from real life experience, not I READ IT ON A MESSAGE BOARD SO I KNOW IT ALL :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TGPilot Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Didn't mean to start anything You didn't... Jim just doesn't like to be questioned. I am merely trying to understand his statement. Two others stated the opposite of Jim's statement and I just asked a question...yet he lashes out at me. Oh well....life goes on. Please do let us know how your tranny reacts to the new torque converter because that is a SMOKIN deal! Plus I am curious to know. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I answered your question then just added a response to the others :shock: It's not like you have ever said something then added to it If the shoe fits... wear it...If not... continue looking for a different shoe... You obviously are wearing the shoe....So put your guilt complex back in closet and crawl back on your high horse :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
