Anyone make high performanceTorque Converters for XB as of yet?

i dont think so, but you might want to hit up TCI for a custom built one to the specs you're looking for.

I would honestly say that you would need at lest 150whp before it would even be needed

^^^ yup~ not really necessary for our small output engines.

You might not want a converter thats high stall, you could burn out the clutches in the tranny in no time.

I was thinking of adding a greddy turbo kit later on so I think I should be close to 180-200 rwhp

Rear wheel HP? Last time I checked, our cars were FF

Turbowise, you won't hit anything above 150whp without forged internals. Face it, the 1NZ-FE engine just doesn't handle high boost.

I'm sorry I keep forgetting This is my first fwd car...hehe sorry wont make that mistake again.

I used a torque conventer from www.levelten.com

I would say it was probably the best mod I made on my 300zx. Had I kept my Z I would have eventually purchased one of their "Bulletproof" transmissions. I was very impressed in the product/support I received from them.

Don't forget that you will be killing your gas mileage if you do this.

You won't see 180-200 WHP from the greddy. You MIGHT see 150.

i have the greddy kit and i can tell u that it's not even close to 200whp. At this point i'm only at 135whp and have a lil bit of tuning left to see if i can reach the 150 mark. I'm not sure what the final production greddy kit will use as for a turbo but right now i'm sporting a very small TF-035HL.

how much did your greddy turbo kit cost you? and what did it come with? thanks. how much boost are you running etc...thanks

Agreed.

If you want to go fast you wouldn't have gotten an automatic in the first place though....or a Scion, for that matter.
