    Default Is there a sportier torque converter for the E34?

    Just wonderin'. It sure would be nice if my car's torque converter locked up much sooner, and in every gear.

    Actually Dinan does offer a upgraded torque converter, but it does just the opposite. It's a high-stall torque converter, meaning that it actually takes more RPM to engage the fluid. Meaning you would floor it from a stop, the car would rev higher before the car lurches and thus gives quicker acceleration.

    Default Dinan no longer sells them...............

    when i replaced my 5hp30 last year i called dinan & asked.
    kirt koeller told me if i wanted a high stall torque converter he knew of a shop that custom built them, but they are very expensive.
    i would recommend a differential swap first.
