ACC Performance’s\u00a0Street Bandit series converters are designed to handle as much as 650 horsepower, which is a huge increase over competing models\u00a0that top out at around 350. How does ACC do it?<\/p>\n

The company’s engineers\u00a0put 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.<\/p>\n

ACC\u00a0also welds-up and four corner tack-welds its\u00a0turbine and impeller fins to maintain the highest level of strength possible, stopping fin degradation and\u00a0deformity. In addition, their\u00a0turbine hubs are custom engineered to maintain the highest quality, strength, and durability. Other brands\u00a0use 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.<\/p>\n

ACC Performance converters use\u00a0a single bolt pattern for the rotating mass, making them surprisingly light and keeping the weight of the converter off of the \u00a0motor. 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\u00a0use a dual bolt pattern; unfortunately, this can add up to\u00a03 to 4 pounds of weight to the converter as well as the rotating mass of the engine, which costs you horsepower and\u00a0torque.<\/p>\n

NOTE: Street Bandit series converters are NOT designed to handle the extreme shock and abuse of nitrous oxide or transbrakes.<\/p>\n
