Hi all. Chasing a torque converter out of a turbo BA 4 speed auto BTR. Anyone have one they wanna unload? Sydney - Newcastle area. Can pick up. Need it urgently. Cheers

Bought a second hand BTR

Still have it

Sorry to upset you az6 turbo but I am someone who unlike you obviously, doesn't mind having dabble with working on cars myself. You see before dicks like you call people retards, have a thought for people such as myself and the person who originally posted this post who have the brain power and skills to perform this sort of work. It was actually a nice little project. Where would we be if people got bagged out all the time for having a go? Wheres the fun in paying a mechanic to do every little job for you? To me that's not why im into modifying cars. Im not into the ordinary "store bought" scene people think that supercheap and their mechanics is the be all, end all, and the way to build a car??? Sorry, not for me. I like the late nights and skinned knuckles. You should try it one time. You might enjoy it.

Oh ok. Thanks Jas98. Is there much of a visual difference between torque converters. The box I bought came with a torque converter and tailshaft minus the yolk. Lol. Just wondering if they are from turbo. Im used to old school parts that are easier to identify. Hahaha

Ms700. Where abouts are you?

Thanks Saski. I just bought one to replace mine and I wanted to make sure before I put it in and waste my time

Depending on the answers I get I might need too. Hahaha. Im just wondering how you can tell the difference between turbo and non turbo BTRs when they are out of the car sitting on the ground.

Imight be. Lol. I bought one (turbo BTR) off a guy in Sydney. I just wanna know how you tell turbo ones from N/A ones. Are they the 93LE or the 97LE?

How do you identify a BTR out of a turbo?

Are N/A BTR (4 speed) tailshafts different to turbo BTR's? Eg. output shaft size. Exchanging gearboxes and am wondering if I need tailshaft or yolk to go with it? Cheers

Hi all. Done this conversion myself not long ago. Conversion will run with standard map sensor, injectors and tune. I ran mine around for a while like this. They run like a dog if bigger injectors are put in before tune. But, it will need to be tuned with bigger injectors (I put 42lb in) and 2 bar map sensor (With adapter supplied by herrod I think?) asap. Will go heaps better. I removed the broadband butterflies and plugged the hole at the front of the manifold. Just tie the vacuum line up for this out of the way somewhere. I got 266 rwkw's with 750 nm torque out of mine. Although the BTR 4 spd auto didnt last long at all.

What sort of power can the turbo BTR's take. I have the N/A BTR.

Yeah. Not sure if -3 http://gcg.com.au/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=176&category_id=36&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=101 Or -4 http://gcg.com.au/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=2060&category_id=36&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=101

Does anyone know the size of the male -male fitting that joins the earls braided oil line to the turbo oil intake fitting? I purchased an Earls oil line and it didnt come with it. Cheers
