How are they balanced if you can bolt them together? Tq converters have to be balanced right? What kind of hp was the test truck putting to the ground?

Well I finally got one and it should be in this weekend
This is one of the first ones done and Im testing it out for Mike. My truck will be the first Common Rail to run one:rockwoot:
My buddy from Michigan is running one in his VP truck and he is making 750HP+ and he likes it a lot. With my current setup I should be pushing 600HP+ so I will get back with some drive time info. I will also be doing a lock up switch.
He will also be painting the faces yellow
Here are a few pics...
My buddies haven't seen a need to actually balance a converter with any of them that have been made between all of them. I'd imagine that there would be even less of a need on a motor like these that don't spin any big rpm numbers.
One guy did actually take his to a driveline shop to get it balanced and it only needed a touch of weight to make it perfect.
I'm guessing that the bolt together converters are indexed so they go back together the same way they came apart.
I hope you took it apart before installing it? Got any pics of the insides?
I've been wondering why I've never heard of anyone doing a bolt together converter for the diesel community. Guess they have now!
is that a 5 speed flywheel that its bolted to?
Is this a single disk?
Yes it is a single disc but the clutch has twice the surface area of other companies clutches. I saw the clutch Mike uses vs other companies first hand
As far as how it bolts to the crank he makes a plate that takes the place of the old flexplate
I am guessing you take the convertor apart and that is how it bolts to the crank.

Plate takes place of the flexplate
probably just bolt it to it from the back like you would with a stock converter.
