Turbo Trans and Converter Setup HELP

AMERICAN_LIGHT · 06-10-2008, 08:04 PM

I recently built my 99 L and am now making almost 800 RWHP but my tranny has went out i am looking to see if anyone knows where to find performance parts like a 3000 + stall converter and maybe a trans brake for the 4R100? If not maybe a different Transmission???? any help would be appreciated and thanks for all you guys help

I will be making over 1,000 RWHP with the 91mm turbo. I'm gonna stick with my BTS tranny (Brain said 1,000 or more will be fine) and something around a 3,000 PI convertor. Brain strongly advised against a transbrake on the 4R100 making that much power. I think the dual caliper aerospace brakes will hold the truck and the MSD 2-Step should help spool the turbo much easier.

I have a 4R100 rebuild kit that I am making for the Lightnings now. Is that what you mean by parts? I am also making a new converter for the turbo trucks. Let me know if interested. Call or PM - 713-895-8834

what is the difference between your kits and say the FTMB kits?

Chris is way better. The converters and hands down the best I have ever used in any of my transmissions.

I will def be using his 5 disk tc... But is the output shaft and forward drum need to be replaced with those billet parts what's the benefit???

My Kits have all the clutch packs upgraded to more clutches. New bearing kit, washer kit and bushing kit. Intermediate 45 element sprag and spiral lock snap ring. A upgraded pump boost sleeve and valve, upgraded drain back valve and a TCC control sleeve assembly. A gasket and seal kit of course. Probably a few more things I am forgetting.

Options:
Billet Input Shaft
Billet Forward Drum
Billet Intermediate Shaft

I don't include anything for the accumulator valve body, everybody usually has one. I can get just the parts so you can make your own valve body if interested. Much cheaper than a whole valve body, and very simple to do.

I need to do a post in my vendor section and update my website. Sadly there are only so many hours in the day.
