Traction and wheel hop fucking hate me!!!!
 

Ok so Im rocking the 90 crx si, with the d16 turboed and a 6 puck, and some drag radials at the track. Any launch above 3k and it hops. I have done all the
bushing upgrades, but before I drop $280 on some traction bars, Is there anything else that I can do to get rid of the wheel hop?
So at 3k It bogs off the line due to the low rpm launch, then it starts hopping, I hit 2nd gear, no hop but it spins all the way till fuel cut and I hold it there untill if flals off and I get tracktion, so then I bang 3rd it hooks and away I go. I havent worked the combo out all the way, but im running the the radials at 20 psi. My times at the track were disappointing. I ran this same time last year on street tires with a smaller turbo but it was at 100mph. Im now running a 60/48 t3


rt . 207
60 2.456
330 6.374
1/8 slip says .000
mph ......
1000 11.978
1/4 14.149
mph 104.20

Nice trap speed. Lower your DRs closer to 17lbs and launch around 5500rpm. You have a 6-puck, learn to slip it.

I will give that a shot here in a couple of weeks and see what I can do.

Solid mounts help.
My accord has no wheel hop at all. I just made solid mounts out of stockers with some metal stock and my welder.

mabey u had too much to drink before the run? :P what kinda shape are ur motor mounts in?

Re: Traction and wheel hop fucking hate me!!!!
 

Shoulda bought 88dx's traction bar for $170 shipped like I did :P

Helluva good deal!

Re: Traction and wheel hop fucking hate me!!!!
 

thats horible 60
drop the preasure in the dr's
fill some mounts
lower the front

Re: Traction and wheel hop fucking hate me!!!!
 

i agree but dont lower the front

Re: Traction and wheel hop fucking hate me!!!!
 

a little more down on the front helps a slght bet more weight on there

Re: Traction and wheel hop fucking hate me!!!!
 

I already filled my mounts. :'(

Re: Traction and wheel hop fucking hate me!!!!
 

tire pressure is a big factor, too much or too little isnt good. with a better 60' 13.5 is easy

Re: Traction and wheel hop fucking hate me!!!!
 

Yeap, he has really good traps. I was on 17lbs air pressure on my winter treads pulling 2.4s and some lucky 2.3s with 'ole dad.


Drop lower on tire psi, launch at higher rpms. Just do what I say.

yup, go back to the track and start at 18psi and just go lower and lower

Re: Traction and wheel hop fucking hate me!!!!
 

put your tires in vacuum and you won't believe how fast you go.

Re: Traction and wheel hop fucking hate me!!!!
 

theres a couple of things you can do. updgrade your front end bushings. get a stiffer spring/shock combo. filled motor mounts or solid mounts if your brave enough.

Re: Traction and wheel hop fucking hate me!!!!
 

Already upgraded my crossmember bushings, and lca bushings, and I also filled my mounts, and I have h&r springs, the rear springs are 360lb springs I think If I rember right.O0
