BTE converter Decode
I have this older BTE converter, that I may try out behind my motor. It is stanmped BTE38X400 CX50+.

If memory serves me correctly, it was flashing to around 5200 behind my previous motor that had about a 100 hp less.

Looking to try around 5500-5600 tighter than what I have and I am wondering if its worth the time to put it in.

Thanks

Hell yeah, it's gonna be 5600. Hell yeah I'd wanna know my converters. It's probably got a Borg Warner sprag but that's alright, if it's not hurt.

It'll be a lot like a PTC or a TCI. I've had a fast TCI in the past I should have held onto, and have a fast PTC currently, I have four converters, three TSI and one PTC.

I dont believe it has a sprag, i broke one and they rebuilt it with out a sprag.

If it dont work out, i will sell it. Be cool to see if it picks the car up
