Super cool. Haven’t ever seen a video of one of these being built. Very unique and well filmed, very informative, and the subject matter expert was greatly appreciated.
I loved the back and forth banter of the imperial to metric lol, I've always found it interesting that between your channel, Alan's and MCM, you will drop some measurements in imperial and others in metric depending on what you're talking about. Also awesome explanation on how the stator works with and without the sprag setup on it. You totally should have signed that converter that you were videoing.
I assume that Australia is a bit like the UK in that sense. We still measure some stuff imperial but others metric and the older generation still uses imperial for everything as it isn't that long ago that we switched over to metric. For an example we use miles for long distance but cm for short distance. We buy liquids in litres or millilitres except milk which we buy in pints and beer served in a pub which is also pints. Fun times
Great info, Benny! I have taken an automatic apart a few time but the how of it has been pretty fuzzy- the lump behind the motor makes ever so much more sense now! FR
When the converter is already seated with the 4 bolts, the rest just need to be snugged up with a few Ugg’s duggas, sloppy low settings they go to about 20 something… in/p ft/p
I'll look forward to watching this when I finish work. Here in England only old and disabled people drive autos, so torque converters are something that I've never had much experience of. 👍👍
@UK RacerSeeing as the whole video was about torque converters, I assumed anyone with an IQ above 50 would have understood the point I was making. As I said, DSGs are NOT an automatic, they have no torque converter and no epicyclic gear set. They are a duel clutch manual gearbox with an option to shift automatically. A COMPLETELY different thing to a traditional automatic gearbox. Not my fault if you need to educate yourself on the mechanics of different styles of transmissions.
Question,some time ago I had a converter built but the people only listened to 1/2 of the info I gave them,top quality company but the was dropped now I have an 11” 2800 converter but need 3400,,,can the 11” get that and be made to work as well as a 10”?I either have to sell it or rebuild it,can you answer?
Best to speak with a converter shop, plenty of people use 11’’ converters but it entirely depends what you’re trying to do with it, the weight of the car and the engine combo
We work with Pete On converters because he’s the GOAT, Hughes still do great products too however. We use Hughes transmissions in all of the channel builds also
Always cool seeing someone who really knows their shit
That was great!
Pete is also the only American I've ever heard pronounce 'turbine' correctly!!!!!
Super cool. Haven’t ever seen a video of one of these being built. Very unique and well filmed, very informative, and the subject matter expert was greatly appreciated.
That was really informative. Super cool guys too. I could watch those guys waffle on about stuff way above my level of understanding all day
Pete is my hero. 🙌
This was an outstanding episode!
Great run Benny at sick week 8.4 sec hopefully will catch up with u tomorrow
Couldn’t repeat it today :( learning the bump thing again is killing me
I watched that all the way through and torque converters are still magic.
Thanks to Circle D for using units that I can understand. 😉

Great stuff, thank you for showing building that converter.
That was a fascinating look at the workings of a converter.
Cheers Benny & Circle-D.
Fan Bloody Tastic! Have always been fascinated with how they work & go together. Cheers Benny!
Thank goodness he pronounces "turbine" correctly.
Well yea, anyone who pronounces it "turbine" doesn't speak properly.
Pete's deep dive transmission videos are excellent
That is some type of black magic !
Bloody interesting. Learning how a torque converter works. Good stuff .
That was awesome, thanks.
Pretty awesome how they are made and finished! Benny have fun and be safe.

Not even dct?
@UK Racer Most of those aren't true automatics, they're DSGs that don't use a torque converter either.
@@Low760 Yeah lots of newer cars have DCT, but they don't use torque converters either.

One of your best, Benny great content
Great stuff
Very cool. Honestly felt like this is channeling the turboencabulator though....
Great Video !! I learned some new things watching this. That could have even been parts for my Barra Bolt Together :)
That one was an LS converter from memory
Great vid Benny 👍🏾
Sick video Benny
Nice video benny
Ahh, the old Vaso…..😂🤣
I thought Pete worked for Hughes
He did but moved approx 6 months ago to TX
awesome vid
It's still witchcraft! Nice vid.

What happened to Hughes convertors?
Pete moved jobs, he still buys Hughes boxes.

Very interesting but made my nose bleed.
I gather this is about torque converters but you should specify in the title since cars also have catalytic converters too
The thumbnail is a torque converter mate
Ooof
Who on earth uses a catalytic converter on a racecar?! 🤦🏻♂️
🤦♂️
