Default Stall Converter

Hi,

I am looking at fitting a stallie in my car when the engine comes out in the next couple of weeks. From advise online I am looking at a 2500 stallie.

I had a look in my manual last night and it said the standard stall in a Mont Ghia AU3 is 2000-2400.

What use is a hi stall at 2500 if the stock is 2000-2400? I can see the gain if you are only getting 2000 out of stock and then install a 2500 unit but what if I'm already getting 2400?

Has anyone installed a 2500 in a stock V8? Any results?

Oh, I need to mention that I am installing a stock 220kw XR8 in the Mont.

I reckon go with a 3000 - 3100 RPM unit. The impact on fuel economy is very minor and you'll learn to shift down a little more up gradients to relieve the engine from "groaning" in 4th and read the traffic situation ahead a bit more.

the standard stall is 1800 from all reports ive seen
but you can flash it out to about 2-2400 if you have good brakes and tyres..

wadsymoo had a 2800 stall in a AU fairmont V8 with a cam and the 200kw motor and full exhaust and it boogied along nicley off the line
id definatly suggest 2800 -3100rpm

I had a 2700 stally a few cars back (was a 6 though) and it drove so well that next time I'll be going around the 3000ish mark.

Thanks for the replys.

I think i'll get a 2800, sounds like the best option.

Anyone know where I can get the best price for one in Vic?

the way you can tell your stall rpm is hold the brake hard on and accelerate the rpm it stops at is the stall rpm

2800 is all I'm going to go for if I keep the auto. PM Whoosha, he knows of a bloke over your way that does them for a decent price.
