Has anyone installed a dragon t/c yet. If so any CEL

i don't know of any, i think pearlpower has a different one

but knowing the gs430? very likely you will see cel

 

yep pearlpower has the lextreme one but I think thats an exchange unit. I dont know how that works when Im across the pond. Although pearlpower had no cel I dont think he kept his one long.

 

Sorry getting confused with his LSD that he sold.

 

Ive ordered a 2800 lextreme one will let everyone know how it goes, but David said there would be no problems with the CEL

 

im gonna catch flak for this one....but....


what does the torque converter do, exactly

 

Basically its what sends the power to the transmission in autos and a higher stall speed lets the engine rev higher with less rev drops between shifting.

The wiki page explains the ins and outs

No cel with several thousand miles on it.
I have the Extreme unit but if I had to do it over again would go the Dragon route. There is a marked difference in performance.

 

Why do you think there is a big difference in performance? Is the Dragon one smaller and lighter?

 

it's lighter and has a much higher stall speed

 

Out of interest whats the stock stall speed, 2600 ?

TBH id rather keep within the stall limits and not kick the cel off, so the Lextreme one would suit my needs better. Plus if I ever sell the car I would not go to the trouble of removing it, so with a cel on would be tricky to sell car.

btw thanks David for the super quick delivery to the UK, be another 3-4 weeks before I get it installed.

 

stock is 1800 i believe.
