Rev Maxx converters
Just wonderring what everyones thoughts are on these converters on Ebay? Will they be good for a bolt on LT1?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...3805&viewitem= I found this thread about them on LT1/LS1.com http://www.ls1lt1.com/forum/showthread.php?t=34279 Cant beat the price. Think I might pick up a 3200. Give me as reason not to! Not the typical ( you get what you pay for) response. I had many expensive parts break on me as well as cheap parts. |
You get what you pay for.. A cheap converter can turn expensive real quick if it breaks and takes out the transmission and radiator with it..

What makes these Converters cheap? The price? Everyone that gets one says they love it and cant believe the quality of them! Seems like with a 3200 converter from them people see a .5 -.7 drop in there E.T. at the track! They have 100 percent feedback and alot of those feedbacks are from LS1/LT1 people. For my plans with a bolt on LT1 car I really dont want to spend 800.00 for a converter that will be able to hold 1000.00 hp When I can get one that holds the power I am pushing for 260.00 shipped! |
I guess you got it all covered then..
Just one thing though.. There is a difference between expensive parts and quality parts, just because you spent what you thought was alot of money on a part dosent make it a high quality piece. High strength materials like billet steel and roller bearings cost more than stamped steel and plastic thrust washers.. Good luck with your project.. |
My thoughts are that it's risky. Personally there are places I will cut corners and my driveline is not one of them.

Go for it its only a LT1, J/K.
Seriously go for it, but realize there is a big difference between a warmed over S-10 convertor and a billet. Along as your not going to be throwing N/X or big power at it. Keep your heat down and have at it. I ran a Yank and loved it but by time I was done with buying it installed tune etc. I had $1600 into it. And FYI theres a lot of guys in the elevens with their 7.5's. |
Theres a similiar thread about these converters going on LS1tech right now...might wanna check it out...Ive been running my Fuddle which costed a 100-150 bucks more for over a year and its been flawless...whats makes that even more amazing is that i actually installed it w/ a bud. :rofl: .

I went the cheap out route with my converter and it is close to the top of the list of regrets I have with my car.

cheap converters are junk.... once again like otheres posted you get what you pay for

Thanks for the input! How much did you pay for it and what brand is it if you dont mind me asking? |
Its just a local speed shop converter, got it used from a guy who got it used from another guy, and then it was new before that guy...
Needed my car back together so yea... cheaped out. |

Cool man. That was another option I was looking into. Getting a used converter but I think I would want to be the 1st owner of a converter no matter if it is a cheap one or an exspensive one. |

Yeah I know! There are a ton more guys who have broke there 10 bolts including me which I have broke 4 total in 2 cars! I havent broke one in 5 years now since I dont run my cars anymore at the track! |
why not pick up a reputable used one and have it restalled? be "good as new" IMO
