Locking a torque converter is stupid. It destroys converters and will take out the trans once the torque convert clutch wears out. Ford rangers have this very problem (inc commodore owners who lock TCC)
I've been doing this for years and never had an issue. Get the right converter built to do this and you will never have problems. The problem is people try and do this stuff with converters that are not built to handle that additional stress and they have problems and blame the component with no understanding of why. This is a factory transmission calibration and this is how they have calibrated it from the manufacturer. Please don't compare a Ford Ranger converter to a Isuzu, two very different parts. The Ford Ranger converter is junk compared to the Isuzu.
Im from South Africa, and my 4jj3 is pushing 150 wheel kw about 180kw to the flywheel
What bull bar is that mate ?
What ECU model is installed in that car?
Is this a custom tune for this particular car or a generic calibration to suit all 4jj3s?
Every tune is custom to suit the vehicle that's why we do it on the dyno.
@@IndependentMotorsports awesome, how much boost do they run stock and what do you usually go up to?
Why does it says in the site that its 190hp when you convert 130kw is around 176
@@TGTexanwe are qouting rear wheel power.the OE are Qouting Engine power.
@@IndependentMotorsports so from 190hp engine power, how much hp gained?
Is it possible and worthwhile to remap the 2013 DMax with 120k km?
Hi yes 4jj1 respond good to a remap

Do you know how much better the fuel economy is after the re map?
