Race Torque Converters

Race Converters are customer built taking into account peak torque, horse power, rear gear ratio, tire height and width, vehicle weight, suspension, shifting rpm, maximum rpm, transmission gear ratio, and track elevation. We then take that information and build the proper diameter convert to maximize you vehicles performance. At Island Torque Converters we are interested in what your longer term goals are so that you don't purchase a torque converter this year only to have to go through the same process and expense next year.

Diesel Performance Torque Converters

Island Torque Converters offer diesel performance torque converters with lower stall speeds than the factory units. Although peak torque occurs at 1600-1800 rpm, performance modifications can cause the converter to stall as high as 2400 rpm. Our aftermarket steel and aluminum stator along with our internal clearance modifications will bring the stall speed back to around 1600-1900 rpm increasing drivability as well as increasing fuel mileage. These modifications are available for Dodge, Ford, and GM applications. As well as stall speed modifications we offer updates to factory specifications by offering bearing updates as well as our "extreme duty" multi disk clutch setup along with our "billet cover". This clutch update effectively triples the amount of clutch apply area increasing holding power and helps to reduce heat generated.
