PERFORMANCE PARTS:
Sussex Auto Parts have for some time been building a reputation in the High Performance market as a class act. We have sponsored various drivers over the years and currently help Kiwi Kev Taylor in his CRAP Conversions Ford Capri (see pic right). Our built to order high stall torque converters are rapidly gaining a reputation around Britain’s tracks as the one to have!
And they are made in Britain!

OUR PROVEN RACE CONVERTERS:

The heart of the Sussex Race Converters is a high-quality, forged steel front cover.
These forged covers allow Sussex engineers to add material to the cover in order to prevent destructive ballooning and cracking common to OEM-style stamped covers.
The covers are designed to use smaller diameter GM 245 (9 ½") converter cores which are plentiful and were manufactured by GM in a tremendous range of varieties.
The smaller converter diameter along with the various impeller/stator combinations available, allows Sussex Autos to provide highly efficient custom stall speed converters without power-robbing and heat-generating modifications.
Don’t watch your valuable horsepower disappear as heat from your transmission cooler!

The other kit components are no less impressive. One-piece 4132 Chrome-moly impeller hubs with integral anti-ballooning plates control ballooning at the pump end while strengthening the converter impeller. The impeller hubs are also hardened to provide increased strength and long-life resistance to wear from bushings and seals. Turbine hubs are 4130 Chrome-moly with induction hardened splines and bushing journals. The front cover bushing design provides high RPM turbine stability and tighter clearances, while the large diameter welded flange greatly increases the strength of the turbine. Both the impeller and turbine hubs are designed with special oiling features to reduce converter temperatures, prevent “hot spots”, and provide superior lubrication to bearing and bushings.
