FTI Performance Powerglide Converter Charge Pressure Dump Valve Kit - External

This external charge pressure dump valve kit from FTI Performance is built with a robust 6061-T6 aluminum body, chosen for its strength and light weight. It's designed to manage the converter charge pressure in your Powerglide transmission, helping to prevent excessive pressure buildup that can lead to component wear. By releasing excess pressure, this valve helps maintain optimal operating conditions for your torque converter and transmission internals.

The kit includes a precision-machined spool valve and a heavy-duty spring, both selected for reliable performance under demanding use. Installation involves tapping into your transmission's case to route the external dump line, a process that requires careful attention to detail but offers a significant improvement in charge pressure control over stock setups. This external design allows for easier access and adjustment compared to internal modifications, making it a popular choice for racers and performance builders who need to fine-tune their transmission's behavior. It’s a well-built component aimed at enhancing the longevity and performance of your Powerglide transmission, especially when paired with high-stall torque converters or in high-horsepower applications.

When installing this kit, ensure you follow the manufacturer's instructions closely for proper line routing and sealing. While this kit is designed for performance applications, it is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Proper setup is key to realizing the benefits of controlled charge pressure, so take your time during installation to ensure a solid connection and accurate pressure management.
