ACC Performance: Boss Hog Street Bandit Series Converters

ACC Performance’s Street Bandit series converters are designed to handle as much as 650 horsepower, which is a huge increase over competing models that top out at around 350. How does ACC do it?

The company’s engineers put much larger Torrington-type encased bearings, which can handle the raw power and abuse that modern engines and transmission can produce, throughout the converter where they are needed. Some of the competition uses smaller needle-type bearings that are not encased, making them susceptible to picking up trash in transmission fluid and leading to heat build-up and failure.

ACC also welds-up and four corner tack-welds its turbine and impeller fins to maintain the highest level of strength possible, stopping fin degradation and deformity. In addition, their turbine hubs are custom engineered to maintain the highest quality, strength, and durability. Other brands use a chromoly steel turbine hub that does not weld very well. If improperly welded, it can cause converter failure and or damage to your transmission.

ACC Performance converters use a single bolt pattern for the rotating mass, making them surprisingly light and keeping the weight of the converter off of the  motor. This frees your motor to rev up through the RPM range quicker and put more power to the ground. In an effort to eliminate multiple parts numbers, competing products use a dual bolt pattern; unfortunately, this can add up to 3 to 4 pounds of weight to the converter as well as the rotating mass of the engine, which costs you horsepower and torque.

NOTE: Street Bandit series converters are NOT designed to handle the extreme shock and abuse of nitrous oxide or transbrakes.

Edelbrock (1556): Scion FR-S / Subaru BRZ Supercharger

Introducing the new E-Force Supercharger from Edelbrock for 2.0L-equipped FR-S, BRZ, and GT86. This all-new system is engineered exclusively for FA20/4U-GSE engines.

Its unique inverted design features long runners that allow for maximum flow at high rpm, while retaining great daily driving characteristics. Reimagined from the ground up, this supercharger uses an Eaton® 1320 TVS rotor assembly for maximum efficiency in a compact package. As with all E-Force superchargers, this system features an efficient high-flow inlet configuration that results in a shorter, less restrictive intake path for improved air flow and performance. A large dual-pass air to-water intercooler and heat exchanger lower the temperature of incoming air.

These features help the E-Force deliver dramatically improved performance, especially in the mid-range, where power dips have been eliminated for a smooth linear power curve. Finally, the supercharger assembly is finished with a durable black powdercoat with red accents for a unique look that will let everybody know your car is E-Force powered!
