PRI 2016: ATI Brings Hot New Bolt Together Torque Converters

ATI Racing showed off their brand spankin’ new eight-inch bolt together torque converters at PRI and we talked with JC Beattie and he gave us a glimpse into what the family company has been working on.

JC told us about their new eight-inch converters and lock-up converters, “We took the quality and reliability of our 10.5 inch torque converters and tailored it into an eight-inch version. It works with a large swath of current cars and transmissions currently on the market including six-speed, eight-speed and ten-speed transmissions that are now popping up on vehicles like the Camaro ZL1 and Ford Raptor.”

ATI combines an aluminum back plate with a steel front cover that retains overall rigidity with the added benefit of lightweight overall package. The new eight-inch converters have the following features:

  • Double O-ring seals results in half the assembly bolts than other makes.
  • Easily change the stators or pumps for varying applications, weather, or track conditions.
  • Provides the ability to thoroughly clean and inspect the unit for regular maintenance.
  • 0-percent slip with lock-up application.
  • Bolt-on billet aluminum mid-plate spacers.
  • Removable bronze and steel pilot spacers available for varying mid plate applications.
