For those running a dump valve: Is this a kit from a trans builder? Or did you create your own? Care to share how these are plumbed? I have heard of some that don't dump much, and others that really allow the engine to spool quickly.
I have two, one that dumps all the cooler circuit to the pan that if needed would help spool. And another that has a regulator from Hutch that keeps the cooler pressure at 75psi or lower. The one with the regulator is on from the burnout until the return road.
Great to know. Thank you!
I don't think the dump valve will help me build additional boost with this converter, as I come right up to the two step quickly anyhow. But this might be a future addition. The money that some of the kits cost is kinda crazy.
Another question about using these for stall spooling: Are the lights more consistent if you stop dumping BEFORE you release the trans brake? I am wondering if the changing fluid flow could introduce inconsistencies in the leave and reaction time if you don't get that out of the way before tb release? I guess I am more interested in the dump valve than I thought!
Yes, as soon as it's making enough power to get up on the converter kill the solenoid. While it's dumping you are creating heat and reduced lubrication in the converter.

They are dumping on the cooler side so converter flow isn't affected, up if anything from the greater delta across the converter when it is open
They are wasting primary lube oil to the pan though. And if on the pre cooler side, dumping nuclear oil out of the converter into the pan without cooling
I understand that the cooler line dump is on the outlet side of the converter. However if they are not starving the converter how is it going to loosen up the stall speed??
Putting it on the cooler line isn't changing the charging circuit, it is changing the exhaust circuit
Glide converter fluid path=
Valve body > case > pump > converter (between converter snout ID and pump stator tube OD) > out converter to pump ( between stator tube ID and input shaft OD) > cooler outlet on case > cooler > cooler return on case > pump > rear of input (at this point it is your primary lube circuit
The actual converter feed is a fixed orifice at a fixed line pressure
The lube circuit after coming back from the cooler is a restriction.....
The dump on the cooler line is making a parallel dump directly back to the pan..... Removing the restriction
Hence converter pressure drops .... But actual flow through converter increases
Tighter converter in, and now refining my staging and starting line method. I have the mentioned solenoid above. What size hoses are appropriate? It looks like we dump back to the pan. Do I T into one of the trans cooler lines? Which one?
Or, anyone have a picture or diagram?
I have a weird street car, a 1999 Ford Contour SVT with a non factory engine. I have added a turbocharger to a 3.0 V6 engine with forged internals. Driven this way for 30,000 miles but the slow speed performance has been suffering lately. I run it as high as 24 lbs of boost and it make a lot...
Hi,
Has anyone drilled a Precision turbo housing to install a Garret Turbo speed sensor. I’ve tried contacting Precision via Messenger, email & left voice mails as no one answered ... I ave searched the net for info, but mainly comes up with Garret, which have a specific location & pre drilled...
What’s the General concensus between running the new MSD pro 600 cdi over the tries and tried Holley smart coils?
My street car will make in the neighborhood of 23-2700hp. It’s a 427 LSX Twin Garrett 88s from Forced inductions setup for dual fuel systems. E85 on the street and M1 at the track...
There's been some interest in this in a few other threads and in PMs, so I'll ramble on a bit about it here. Any questions, comments, advice, ridicule, etc, are always welcome. :)
This is the same concept applied to diesel motors, and different from twin turbo, sequential turbos, etc. Diesels...
