That would be an opened up torque converter. What gives w/the extra life info?? Cough it up already!!

 

Yeah lets hear the info?? What are you getting your stall set at?

 

What will you launch at with it? 3K to 3500K?

 

looks like a torque converter to me..

 

i knew u knew lol its being bumped up a little bit just shy under 3300 to give me a lil more tranny life plus more grunt while taking off down the racetrack

 

Its one of those new high performance regenerative horsepower multipliers!

or a torque converter.

So why are you building the trans?

You decided on going with a turbo kit didn't you lol.

 

It's a flux capacitor sitting on the right 2nd shelf down. 1.21 gigapounds of line pressure for the transmission. FIRM SHIFTS

 

initial tear- down

found the problem

every ring should look brown..... looks like they burnt up to the bare metal...

back together

upgraded stall converter built by "xxxxxxx xxxxxxx" (you guys will know soon once i have her up and running )

i know i was eating refried beans theyre GOOOOOOODDD

 

Hey, weren't you having the same issue as me?? Would you get a thud putting oyur foot on the accelerator and taking it off under normal driving? After the truck warmed up?? Looks good man, now quit being gay and get it to the track

 

yea i am but i wont find out the cure until i put her back in the truck ull be one of the first to know if it worked (keep ur fingers crossed)

 

*Fingers crossed*

 

Did you just up the stall, because of cams, or did the TC require a tear down anyway? Was it shuddering at all?

 

one time i felt a shudder from the tranny while i was going to the track. never knew the problem but i think it was the clutches. i wanted to open the converter up just to be safe and see if everything looked in good shape. plus bumping the stall up a little bit more will help me get going sooner with the cams

 

i know i was eating refried beans theyre GOOOOOOODDD [/QUOTE]

LMAO! You would say something about beans.

 

Just curious what was the secret of extending the life of the Titans Transmission you mentioned in your first post BJ2007?

 

I think he was talking about the beans :bandit: lol j/k. It seems like his lil secret till he is ready to spit it out.

 

UR a brave man.....

 

the stall converter works great no problem with it whatsoever!!! the only downside is that she threw 2 codes P0720 and P1574. i think it has to do with the valvebody i should have taken her apart to clean her up. might have some buildup in there causing her to act up.

 

Nissan OBD-II Trouble Code P0720

Nissan OBD-II Trouble Code P1574

 

Wow codes no good... and you just got it back together.. .something is not right my friend.

 

Why didn't nissan just use a 4L80E for god sakes... :crying:

 

Not to thread jack but are you still running the SC 93 tune with your headers? How is your AFR with that?

 

im thinking the valvebody is crap and thats making me throw codes. anyone know where i can get another one?

 

I would say you're going to spend atleast a $1000 from the dealer unless you can find a used RE5RO5A and pull the valvebody out of it... but Geez...thats some big cash too.

Or... You could try IPT,GTM, and Level 10. They are the only ones who do modifications to the Valve bodies aside from just installing the Transgo kit, you could call them and send them your valvebody and they could fix whatever is wrong and make it better by doing their "upgrade". Your truck is going to be down for a few though...hope you have second vehicle or rental car.

Other than that I dunno man, best of luck to you though. I'm sure someone else has an idea...

 

I've seen a lot of new ones go for $200 on ebay, but I searched and their isn't any listed right now

 

By the way, when my friend and I were installing my Transgo kit, as soon as I started the vehicle and drove home, it started leaking fluid from the trans pan and the Manual shift didn't work.

Come to find out some of the Valvebody wiring had got pinched between the trans pan and the casing itself.

Had to beat the dent out of the pan to stop leak and the Manual shift function started working again after a quick splice and reconnect. Been working ever since.

I just thought maybe it could be something unplugged or a wire pinched/cut somewhere on accident..

I dunno I could be wrong though in your situation...

 

im thinking its the harness itself or a bad solenoid. i got rid of the p1574 code but i still have the damn p0720 lingering around stall still works amazing

 

i still have the damn p0720 lingering around

Did you reconnect the revolution sensor?

 

Just open it back up and test all the solenoids, find out which if any are bad...You seem to like opening things up on the truck

 

LOL...^^^^^ Good luck BJ, I'm sure it's nothing more than wiring.

 

Who did the converter? What stall is it? I want one in the 3000-3200 range in a tight stall and a STR of around 2.0 or so.

 

How much difference does the 3200 stall give over stock, as far as street driving and launching... that is if you have been able to do that with your codes and valvebody issue.

What is out stock stall rated at?

I was thinking of going with a 3200 stall and some 3.73 gears before I do the cams and UPREV, since the stall and gears are a bit cheaper.

 

if you do gear swap youll be hitting rev limiter without proper tuning imo. my stock stall was rated @ 2500-2700 im around 3200-3400 street driving i have to give her a lil more gas but since the cams help out i get to the speed i want to faster than before i havent stomped on it from a dig yet i want to get rid of that code first.

 

That torque converter sounds like a good purchase.

I was wondering about the 3.73s and rev limiter situation. I went from the factory 2.94 to 3.36 big tow gears when I got my complete 07 rear end with a tru trac installed. And it shfits at the same RPMS as it did stock, just a lot harder and quicker due to the Transgo kit.

The tuning you were talking about, just curious, what would be the cause of me hitting the rev limiter with 3.73s over the 3.36s I have now?

Wouldn't the TCU recognize the need to shift at the same RPMS from the factory even with the 3.73s?

lol i'm a little slow tonight...:crying:

 

i wonder if it's throwing the MIL because of speed variance between the revolution sensor and the vehicle speed sensor. Do you have a Consult to check the data from the rev sens and vehicle speed sens? Both should be about the same speed or it'll throw the MIL.

 

ill cipher it today and post results its what ive been wanting to do for a while now.
