![]() All our super-strong mounting rings, plates and lugs are made to adapt the smaller diameter converter to your existing drive plate, requiring no extra work by the purchaser. ![]() Depending on the unit, our specially designed mountings are engineered to stay put. DOMINATOR and ELIMINATOR high-stall torque converters use a series of super-heavy duty one-way clutch assemblies, depending on the application of the converter, that are specifically designed for drag racing applications. The outer race tends to crack, which in turn breaks up the stator, resulting in disintegration of the internals in the process, due to the massive forces applied in full throttle water burnouts, transbrake, nitrous, turbo and supercharged applications. A major problem with full-race converters is failure of the one-way sprag clutch in the stator. An efficient converter slippage will have good stall speed and will lockup as well. A slipping converter, or clutch, will never lock-up. As you know, slippage is not stall speed. While this does increase slippage (not stall), it restricts oil flow and coupling efficiency, creating the same effect as installing a slipping clutch in a manual car. We use only the methods we consider the most efficient to achieve differnent stall speeds, without rolling the outside edge of the turbine, or increasing the clearance between the impeller and turbine as some manufactures do. Our Streaker, Dominator and Eliminator high performance torque converters are fitted with thrust roller bearings that generate less friction and, therefore, less heat than a flat washer, making them better suited to withstand the pounding of street and strip use. For added strength the vanes in the impeller and turbine are brazed along their entire length and securing point.
