Re: no bov noise
 

that doesnt seem right to me. i havent acctually weighed either of them but i am pretty sure the torque converter is heavier plus its full of fluid when its in the car

Re: no bov noise
 

Pretty sure? ::) I weighed them both, the clutch and flywheel weighs 6lbs more. Maybe they weigh the same with the fluid inside the torque converter though. I don't know how much auto fluid weighs and I don't know how much fills up inside the torque converter.

Re: no bov noise
 

im sure its a little more than fuel which is about 8 lbs per gallon. i am also taking a guess but i would think about 1.5 qt when running inside the converter. i may be wrong and if i am its no big deal, i have been wrong before, but i am pretty certain a torque converter is heavier

small turbo = neutral blow off.

i geuss a 48/49 t2 isnt to small for a d15 mini me after all

Re: no bov noise
 

No offense but, ARE YOU A ------ RETARD? :1 I told you 1,2....2 times now that I weighed both and I'm telling you that the torque converter is lighter. :6

Re: no bov noise
 

Just because it weighs more does not mean it creates a greater load. Any dumbass should know that its harder to move a fluid system than a mechanical system due to greater resistance in the system, weight has verry little to do with it. Furthermore the actual tourqe converter casing is not rotated and therefore that mass does not create any load on the engine. Go back to highschool Physics you might learn something!

Re: no bov noise
 

You are also a retard. The entire torque converter in fact does rotate. The torque converter housing rotates with the crankshaft. The stator is connected to the transmission. In nuetral the torque converter housing is rotating with the crankshaft and the stator is forced to rotate with the housing. Inside the auto trans the clutches and bands are not engaged to provide power to the wheels, thus freewheeling. Also the physics you take in high school would not cover anything complicated about fluid systems. Only some basic stuff, if that.

Re: no bov noise
 

the whole converter does spin. you bolt the housing to the flex plate. i also did consider that the fluid will create resistance but i am so far from any type of chemical engineer that i would just make myself look dumb. i am almost certain it takes more effort to spin that converter. if i had the time i would look some info up about it
