What goes into locking a torque converter? Is it difficult to do? I am asking about a stock converter. Is an aftermarket one any different to lock? I'm asking about this for dyno purposes.

 

try search or the transmission section.

 

There seems to be a problem with the search feature.

That looks like it might help you.

 

Hey, thanks for the link. I found another thread on the tranismission forum that talked about it. It seems to be a simple enough PCM thing.

 

it can be done with tuning (hptuners, edit)- but on stock tcc you are asking for trouble. screw dyno #'s, just tune on it and get track #'s.

 

Are you running yours locked? I have tried everything to lock mine and It doesnt. btw its meant to be lock (multi disc)

 

looks at sig . give me a little while (getting another car in a few weeks), but i never got to try locking my multi-disk up on the dyno or during a run. with MY particular setup i don't think it'll benefit me during a run though.

to lock it up with hptuners, i would guess you would have to put in some absurd #'s in the tcc lockup/mph table, so it would lockup and not logically unlock after-say- 110mph. try a search on hptuners.com for details.

on the dyno is the same idea, mess with the correct tables and replace certain values with absurd ones and- viola!- it won't unlock.

 

I wish it was that simple. I sent my log and .bin to magnus and he cant figure out how to lock it either


Sorry about the car.
