*Before you read any further realize this is in a 03 turbo Mustang*
Had a revmax nitrous converter in my car and it was slipping pretty hard. 2nd and 3rd gear converter shutter so it is pretty much gone. Due to personal reasons I will never do business with these guys again. Just a small heads up about this company...they do not reman their own product, but instead try and push a new converter on me. Among a whole lot of other things...would not recommend them!
After reading all the great results about the ptc turbo converter with the turbo buick v6 and with the mustangs they were my first choice but the funds weren't there at this time. Even consulted with dusty about rebuilding my current converter. I have done a lot of research on picking the correct converter for my goals including lenny at ultimate, Chris at circle D, and a whole lot of reading on the mustang forums.
One company that really stuck out at me was Edge Racing converters so I got in contact with Andre the owner. Told him all about my setup and told him my goal to run mid 6's in the 1/8th or up to 105mph with my current turbo. Said that was a very generous goal with the power I made through a very loose converter so he spec'd me one of his pro edge converters rated for 1000hp with a true stall of around 3600rpm and a str of 2.5:1. Will not be able to foot brake this stall but to 2600-2800rpm but with the 2 step and some trick tuning to spool the turbo I think I can get by with 2200-2400rpm launches. Andre is a great guy and very helpful on the phone and for the price and guarantee he gives is hard to beat. This converter does have lu capability but not designed to lock under wot. Said this converter would slip around 4-5% with my combo at redline in 1:1 gear.
The converter is now on the way to my house from Edge. Hope to have it installed by next weekend and post results. I don't mind sharing any of my logs but you will need to download livelink 6.5 from sct's website. I can log actual slip across the conver in rpm, tv pressure, and command gear so it will show exactly what this converter is doing.
This may or may not apply to turbo buicks as my setup is a bit different but is based off of buick receipe.
here is a pic of the material found in my trans pan. We believe it to be clutch material from the revmax converter after some abuse. Transmission was fully disassembled and cleaned. Checked out ok.
