General Buick Tech / How To Select The Correct Turbocharger/Torque Converter?
« on: January 08 2018, 02:25:30 PM »
I understand this is about as simple as selecting N/A camshaft profiles.
I am trying to learn about how to select a turbocharger & torque converter combination.
I'm thinking that a 2800-3000 RPM LU converter would be preferable for a street/road car. I don't have a track nearby & I'm interested primarily in a driver, that can still kill.
How much slippage does one experience while driving around town at 5-45MPH?
How large of a turbo can you spool quickly with a tight converter?
I've noticed a lot of 6262 combos listed. What are they capable of?
I do have a set of good flowing heads.
Thanks.
