Stall Speed 2300rpm
« on: 05 September 2006, 09:10:39 »
Did a stall test today - torque converter stall speed is around 2300rpm.

I will check it on the way home when warm to get another reading.

Yes, Martin.  What on earth is stall speed?  I know it's about 65Kt for a small aircraft.

You trying to act like an Omega God or something?

Explain please.

Could it be that from a standstill, with the caravan hitched up, you put it in fifth, depress the accelerator till the rev counter reaches 2300 rpm, and then drops the clutch?

Stall speed is where you put the car in drive, apply ALL the brakes and give it full on the accelerator.
Engine will rev to a point, this is the stall speed (revs).

Should not be done for more than about 5 secs at time otherwise torque convertor will overheat.

But it is a way of testing wether your gearbox is slipping or torque convertor is poorly.

Manufactures used to give a figure that if less than a certain revs then all is ok, tho dont know if they still do. And havent a clue what it should be for Omega's.

**Edit Actually not sure about gearbox but does test torque converter

Maybe it's the point at which the front wheels come off the ground when throttle 'blipped', with fully loaded van?

Edit.  Replied too late.

I'm off to try this.

checked mine, 2300RPM is correct, so I guess my auto box ain't slipping and my torque converter isn't poorly.

 ;D ;D

And i expect the figure is different depending on engine size/gearbox fitted.

Anybody got a Haynes to see if they quote the figures......tho it seems 2.3k is good  :)

Oh rite....perhaps its not summat to be tried these days.  :-/ I can remember in a mk2 golf auto i tried this....and it was within spec according to haynes....maybe 2 many peeps sued haynes for burning out their torque converters  ;D  so they removed the info  :-/

Seriously tho peeps if you do try this dont give full welly for more than 5 secs coz you CAN overheat the torque converter.

I did it to test the gear box - wondering if it needed new oil.

The 2.0 wouldn't go over 1800rpm, if other V6s are getting over 2000rpm that is fine
