Not saying they can't work but there are plenty of issues related to them. They have caused me many more headaches than any other converter.
George had suncoast make a converter similar to the characteristics of the 1057 about a year ago..maybe more...and it has worked well for him. It's not for everyone...but I'd sure like to try one finally to compare for myself
x2 many have thought they could beat the system but failed.
on another note do you text old guy? I called n left you a vmail, but just tried texting you. Not sure if you moved into that era yet.
He's got an iPhone (i think) and Kat was I think getting him to text but since she is the www, he may only have been texting her to keep from the wrath of the broom
Is there a way to make a simpler lockup switch? something where you actually switch it on and off? I don't care about automatic stuff I just want a switch that when flicked locks the converter. Almost like a transbrake button.
IIRC ben had this option. I thoug many of the guys I pulled with had a simple switch. Now they all went to dropboxes and slipper clutches though.
It HAS been beat by somebody(at least for a 6 speed) who did some custom work for EFILIVE, just waiting for them to implement the changes to expand the needed table. And I'm REALLY happy with my PI ML low 1800 stall. I don't know if it is the standard ML or not, I just know it showed up with 1800 on the box and that is about as high as it will stall to(can give it more throttle, but it just builds boost and blows through the brakes).

X2 Flexplate looks new on mine. 110 000 miles with an ATS.
Probly be still going if the donkeys that did the install new what a torque wrench and loctite was. Only rattled in neutral or park never in gear either.
Looks like us 5 speed guys are still screwed as Ross said that table is still a 17x3 not like the 6 speed 17x5, but may still be hope...
I know you can, google DIY lock up switch. I had one on my 12valve in high school. I wouldnt want it on my allison though, dont forget to shut it off haha
Lock up switch on a 12 valve is different than an Allison. Allison's need a PWM control or the solenoid will burn up.
Pretty stoked about that! I'll be following that thread closely.
