When do you lose traction?
 

This is only for people with stock suspension.

I've got a D16Z6 boosted with a TD04-13G.
It's sitting on heavy 17" wheels with 240mm wide tread.

I dont know if its just cold today, but at 3500 RPM and full throttle I lose all traction in 5th.
I am easily spinning the tires in every gear. In one sense, this is great, in another, my car is slow.

Re: When do you lose traction?

Re: When do you lose traction?
 

damn you cant tell the difference between a clutch slipping and tires spinning

Re: When do you lose traction?
 

You will know when you get wheel hop.

Re: When do you lose traction?
 

You wish your D16 had enough power to spin 5th gear.

Re: When do you lose traction?
 

haha, for real^^. Trust me, unless ur making like 900whp, you wont spin for ---- in 5th.

Its time to get a new clutch!

Re: When do you lose traction?
 

lol

Re: When do you lose traction?
 

omg, thread of the week.

"I'm spinning wheels in fifth"

You tha man. O0

time to call LSD

Re: When do you lose traction?
 

shitty deal deffanantly clutch though

Re: When do you lose traction?
 

Ya, Time for a clutch!! Let me guess, You thought a stock would be good enough for boost?

Re: When do you lose traction?
 

lol, def time for a new clutch! :y

Re: When do you lose traction?
 

Especailly with a TD04 and 17's, Ha!

Re: When do you lose traction?
 

Well the reason I thought the tires were spinning was because it yesterday in the day it snowed and I thought the roads were just really cold. And before then, my tires were spinning through third, so I figured this must be some crazy ----.

Anyway, I'm disappointed and happy at the same time.
Sorry for the vulgarities 88dx - the minute I read your post, I knew you were right.

Re: When do you lose traction?
 

Contact LSD motorsports and you'll be happy again.

Re: When do you lose traction?
 

That's even better, LOL... "I lose traction in 5th in the snow! Does that happen to anyone else?" :y

J/K man...

A 6 puck from LSD will hook up nice. My old Stage 1 Clutchmasters fried earlier this year. I was going to the track, doing "burnouts" but my tires were never moving. Took a few trips to the burn out box to figure that one out.

Re: When do you lose traction?
 

I was like, "Boy, this cold air sure does make a big difference."
Anyway - tard moment is over.
I already ordered a clutch from LSD and now I'm kinda looking at a flywheel.

Re: When do you lose traction?
 

get an 8lb aluminum flywheel

Re: When do you lose traction?
 

nope i got a 11lb wheel

Re: When do you lose traction?
 

I got the 8lb and 6 puck from lsd and its a good combo.it just takes some getting used to. It is a GREAT clutch. I get no chatter at all out of mine. :y

Re: When do you lose traction?
 

funny ----. haha. do you seriously think you can break the tires loose in 5th with a td04 on 17's. i know what you need. a jk motorsports traction bar ;)

Re: When do you lose traction?
 

let me tell you about wheel spin and wheel hop, crx+b16a+60 trim t3+no LSD+shitty ass worn out suspention+clutchmaster stage 3+11 lbs. flywheel+16 inch wheels with bfg drag's= MASSIVE spin and hop in first gear from about 3,800 rpm all the way to 8k, all the way through second, and i gain traction at about 7,000 rpm in third, and my clutch does not slip, this killer ass combination along with me being a shitty driver (track nerves) equaled 15.1 and 14.9 second passes at 103 mph!

Re: When do you lose traction?
 

so for all that money a stock SOHC Z6 with IHE will beat you???????

Sad waste for money.

Re: When do you lose traction?
 

i just need to hook up some good struts and a set of traction bars to regain some traction and pull 13's, it'll get done this winter, and no a stock z6 w/ IHE cant hang man, i live in colorado at 5,000 ft. elevation, a z6 hatch with IHE will net about 16.8 in the 1/4 up here, if i can run low 13's with better suspention i will have a 12 second sea level car, i just need the traction, right now i can do a 2nd/3rd gear pull next to a c5 vette and pull on it by like 1 1/2 - 2 cars at the top of third with my wheels spinning, i'd hardley call that a waste of money....

Re: When do you lose traction?
 

I live in CO too, where do you live and why arent we friends?

Re: When do you lose traction?
 

omg lol

Re: When do you lose traction?
 

To spin (cough, peg-leg, cough) the top of third w/ a b16 on 8psi, you must be running some 155r13's from geo metro hahhaha. ;)
My 355whp CRX doesnt break 3rd loose w/ a roll-on.

Re: When do you lose traction?
 

as a matter of fact lol when i was running my stock 14's with cheap ass all seasons is when it would spin hard in third, now with the 16's and good tires it doesnt really spin in third, just a little in the beggining then its like wheel hop untill the top of third, you can just tell its not getting full traction, its not that planted ass hard pulling untill you get close to the top of third, i dunno its ------ gay, i just hope traction bars and good struts will fix it, oh and i live in fort collins mang :y im sure you've seen my car before if you live up here, black crx, really big intercooler, thats about all i can say to distinguish my car....

Re: When do you lose traction?
 

LMAO! Reminds me of when my friend thought his boosted sohc was spinning tires in 4th...he was kinda dissapointed when i told him it was his massively slipping clutch :P.

On a side note: My sohc with a td04-13g spins tires through 1st and 2nd pretty easily. Spoolup is almost instant...when i don't have freaking exhaust leaks...

Re: When do you lose traction?
 

You're probably right about 3rd gear too. The combination of very cold roads, clutch slipping, and inexperience of driving my car leaves me clueless as to whats going down there.

At 15psi, the car felt a little faster than stock.
At 10psi, car was kinda fast.
At 8psi the car is fastest right now :)

Once I install the clutch and flywheel, I'll report my third gear burnouts to you ;D

Re: When do you lose traction?
 

Whats up with you and exhaust leaks?
I dont even have a gasket between the manifold and adapter plate and I'm pretty sure it's leak free :)
Where can I see your dyno graphs?
