Celica Forums General Discussion Engine and Performance What do you guys feel about automatic tork converters?

I was considerin puttin one in

not to offend you, but its torque. (other people would flame you, but im just telling you)

are there even converters for our car?

I think its almost pointless. Why would you wanna race your auto celica?

Why not?

Because instead of spending the 500-1000 dollars on something you can only use when you brake-torque, you can spend it on other more useful things. Suspension mods is where its at with the auto.

did you go to the track yet?

perfect shifting...i dunno

As far as performance is concerned, a higher stall torque converter is easily the best mod for an auto tranny and will considerably decrease the 60'.

SLVCELI is right though. It will be expensive to buy and install, and you could either completely upgrade your suspension or put it towards a manual tranny.

As for whether it's pointless trying to race an auto...sure it's pointless, if you're trying to do it competitively. If you're just doing it for fun, then why not? I raced my auto GT last weekend, sure it was an adrenaline rush that lasted a full 17.06 seconds, and I was forced to race against someone who's engine was almost 3 times the size of mine, but I had fun.

If you're made of money, go ahead and buy one...but otherwise there's plenty of other things to spend that money on, and believe me you don't need a new torque converter to have fun.

check out level 10 they make torque converters for our cars and before i go to stage 2 turbo in my auto gts i plan on getting some performance tranny stuff from them

It has been rained out the past 4 weeks. Until today they said it was suppose to rain but it looks like tomorrow I can go. Only took 5 weeks

sweet!...post them up
