Billet Bolt-Together Converters - Transmission Digest

Billet Bolt-Together Converters

From SunCoast, bolt-together converters made to lessen parasitic loss and quicken throttle response.

SunCoast now offers 10-speed bolt-together converters manufactured from a solid piece of 7075 T6 billet aluminum plate (superior heat-treating characteristics) versus round bar.

This manufacturing method is necessary considering the high inertia and effects on ballooning the converter. The Pro-Loc converters (1080R-XPL-240mm/GM10L90-260mm) include: patent-pending zero drag lock-up technology; constant oil flow across the clutch surfaces; less parasitic loss; quicker throttle response and faster spooling of larger aftermarket turbos.
