You won't find any lightweight torque converters because they're typically already as light as can be while still being reliable. A torque converter is a very simplistic fluid pump that acts as a fluid coupling, and there are quite a lot of internal forces on the pump fins as it is. Usually for autos you'll find stronger convertors [so they don't break], but not lighter ones.
