What kind of results could one expect with a 9 1/2" converter for the 3.8, V6 Camaro/Firebirds, stall 2795 installed on a 97 A4 3.8l ?
thanks!

The stall speed is what the converter will hold at and not allow and further gain. The determining factor of the stall speed on your car will depend on the peak torque output. So, your actual stall speed will vary depending on what torque your car produces. I doubt your going to see a stall speed close to 3000 on your car. Probably closer to 2400 to 2600.

Most converters are rated at 230-250ftlbs... I know all the B&Ms are. If you custom order one from Yank or Vigilante and tell them about the engine you're hooking it up to, I'm sure they can design it so that it will stall at 3,000 or wherever you need it to for the given torque band.
does Yank make any 9.5" converters? they have none listed on their website, and i've been told the housing on our v6's can only fit a 9.5 with just a little room to spare.
258mm = 10" 245mm = 9.6" That's the sizes they make. Both should fit. Look into the super thruster and pro thruster. They got many choices. Don't get their street converters or Super Yank. Those suck.

While yes, this topic could be debatable and deeply discussed in Advanced Tech, my reasoning for moving it back here is this...
Behind all the info, and cross talk, its still a converter recomendation post.
Also, if its hard to tell if its a general tech or advanced tech, I'll just put it in general tech.
There are many converter posts, mostly basic.. When we start talking about the physics of the converter and the theory behind them as to why they work they way they do and such, then I will allow it to stay in Advanced tech..
This is why I moved it back here.

No, it's not a stall converter reccomendation post or thread. It may have involved in that doen the line but look back at the original post and read it again. He asked a "technical" question

What is the stall rpm really mean?
General tech question.

You are right, he did ask a technical question.. a general tech question.

The normal Yank 3000 9.5" converter looks great, over 40% increase in torque for the first 3,000RPM or so according to the dyno!<hr></blockquote>
They look great on the dyno. I'm talking about people's experiences with them and track times.
Yank 3000 is 265mm=10.4" This is bigger then the V6 converter. More rotating mass. Plus I was saying that their street converters suck. This one is in the street/strip category.
Look at the Super Thrusters and Pro Thrusters. Super Thrusters are better with nitrous, Pros are better NA. Extreme are better with big shots of nitrous, not as good NA as Super Thrusters. The rest in my opinon are not worth it. Super Yank has low STR and high efficiency. This high efficiency still can't make up for the low STR and it's a bad performer in the 1/4. The prices are similar so I don't see why get the inferior ones. Get the ones that are proven to work.

If the converter is build for YOUR mods and YOUR engine then a 2795 stall will stall at 2795. If you add a cam with more duration, the stall will go down. If you add more power to your engine, the stall will go up. If you spray, the stall will go up. If you lighten up the car, the stall will go down. Factors like this determine your actuall stall.
Hey guys. For starters I’ve always been a big car guy, I love all types of cars and can appreciate all types of engineering. I’ve always been a Chevy...
Hello every one, ozzy here ive been looking at this page for weeks now finally joined. So my question is why is it that every turbo build forum just ends...
