PDS 8HP80 High Performance Billet Race Torque Converter - 20/65 Stator - AWD 2015+ BMW M5 X5M X6M
This PDS torque converter upgrades ZF 8HP80 AWD transmissions in high performance BMW M vehicles like the F90 M5 X5M F85/G05 and X6M F86/G06. The 20/65 stator delivers higher stall speeds ideal for drag racing and track applications while billet construction handles over 1200 wheel horsepower. It locks up firmly for consistent launches and withstands extreme abuse.
Key Features
- Billet Aluminum Front Cover: Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum to resist flex and ballooning under 1500+ ft-lbs torque
- 20/65 Degree Stator: Custom angles raise stall to 2800-3200 RPM for quicker spool on modified twin-turbo V8 engines
- 4340 Steel Furnace Brazed Impeller: Welded fins transfer more power efficiently with better heat dissipation than stamped stock units
- Billet Piston and Lockup: Multi-disc lockup applies instantly for no-slip shifts and drag pass consistency
- Laser Balanced Assembly: Rotates smooth at high RPM to reduce vibration and extend transmission life
