Once the car hits the stall point of ~3000rpm however, the torque converter locks in and transfers ALL the power through the box. No slipping at all, assuming the engine is capabable of overcoming whatever is stopping the wheels from turning (ie: the brakes). An easy demonstration is to do a line lock. Stand on the brakes and floor it. From idle to ~3000rpm, nothing will happen. As soon as the engine reaches ~3000rpm the torque converter will lock in and the wheels will start receiving the full power. This results in a skid, and cheering crowds, and naked hot chiqs wanting to have sex with you. As is my understanding.

^found on a commo forum LOL!

ps if i get a stall converter will it break my transmission? would a stage 2 shift kit and transmission cooler be enough for my NA auto tranny to support a RB25det conversion?

OK, first of all the original person who wrote that post doesn't really understand how a torque (or stall) converter works.

Secondly a "shift kit" is generally modifications performed to the trans &/or valve-body to give quicker, firmer shifts, etc.

If anything by doing a shift-kit & high stall alone you will be more likely to break things.

What you want to do is strengthen the trans by (depending on your budget) getting an overhaul using strengthened components such as clutch drums, etc, maybe upgrading to kevlar bands & clutch plates, adding an oil cooler (as you mentioned), etc

Really there are a lot of options but the price will soon sky-rocket.

I wouldn't add shift kits or high stalls unless you either strengthen the trans or are prepared to replace it when it fails.

Also there is no such thing as a "stage 2" shift kit.

This isn't Gran Turismo... :ninja:

Some shops may offer varying levels of modifications such as stage 1, stage 2, etc but what is included is likely to change from shop to shop.

Before you buy anything do some research, know what you're buying...

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.

      Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.

      You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
