The weight of the car has nothing to do with stall speeds or flash, a heavier car will require a higher stall speed to get off the line but that should be taken into account when ordering the convertor.

Yep, pretty much. What I found interesting at the start of that doco was the relationship it made between torque multiplication and converter efficiency.

Short story is a 3000rpm stall under the foot brake may only be 2400-2500rpm for example. Flashing it may achieve 3000-3200rpm. Transbrake is the only reliable way of getting maximum stall reliably but it'll be a lower rpm figure than flashing it.
I've played quite a lot with different rpm stalls over the last 5 years. Enough to know what makes a good or bad stall. One thats loose isn't a good stall. You still want good part throttle response which I think Casper has stated in different wording? One thing to remember is not all engines will respond the same way with a highstall especially if it's down on torque. How's JMM rate the 3000rpm stall? Is it flash speed or foot brake speed?

Casper what do you think 0-100 is like now ? Do you think it has made a good difference? Can you take a stab in the dark mate?

Just for the record, Mrs Casper took the XR today to softball. She was just driving on 60 and 70 zone roads and taking it easy. From all accounts she simply didnt notice any difference in the car. I think that speaks volumes for this histall.

so...... say when your at the lights and take off the car moves as soon as you have your foot on the gas yeah? what about when you take your foot off the brake.. .does it creep forward or stay still?
or does it take till you hit 3000rpm to move?!?!?! so confusing! but sounds, oh so good! |

Casper, it would be interesting to see how your fuel economy figures have changed since the stall. However I do realise that with the new found personality of your car it maybe a while before "fun factor" settles down a bit and you start driving normally again. Although I realise this make take some time with the steroid injection your ride is currently enjoying.

Seriously, I drive my car to enjoy it. It is lucky to do 6000kms a year these days so fuel prices etc are not hurting me as much as many others. Thats why I dont have any issues about killing off whats left of any resemblence to fuel economy now. As for how much the stall has changed it, I would hazard a guess at the moment and say it has reduced economy by between 7-10% from what it was. I will be happy with 370-390kms a tank now.

If your having traction problems with the stall, with IRS, what hope have we got. Will it do more harm then good? Sounds more like a burnout tool than anything.

Cheers, gotta start saving a bit. Sounds like it's a great mod. I've already got a cooler, so i suppose it'd be a bit under $1k for it.

Get your headers first though so you can rev free'r and then youll REALLY notice the difference. mid 15's or less would be a shoue in with your car, maybe low 15's.

Well, Sprint_ED and I took it out for a test tonight. 3100rpm on the brake... not bad!
Tried it a second time, within about 100meters, 3100rpm again.. and overcooked it (yes Brenden, I know, I broke the rule) and limp home. Puttered along and it all worked fine again within 30 seconds. Best launch is stall to 2100 quickly then flash it to about 3200rpm as you step off the brake, it fairly thrust us back into our seats...2 people in the car and a full load of fuel regardless. If anyone doubts that it has made a rather dramatic difference to how the car launch's please feel free to ask Sprint_ED, I'm sure he can let you know what he thought of it!
