My setup is great, but i spin so bad on street tires, do limit straps really make a difference, i already have hasports, omni power all around and a full race bar and a lsd 15 inch rims with falkins
what more can i do to hookup my tires on the street, i was going to get some 225 bfg's becuase my tires now spin so fucken bad. Would Limit Straps really help and where can i get them at?

 

Try polyurethane motor mounts.

 

i have hasport race mounts

 

I would also like to know this!

 

What else can we do for traction? I also have LSD, full poly bushings and motor mounts, traction bars, stiff springs in the rear, and good street tires. Its not enough.

Im going to run 225 wide tires, maybe wider if I can fit em.

 

I would try and fit 235/60's.

 

As everyone else stated you would benefit from a decent drag radial. Hit up Buck02, he sells limit straps for a decent price and they seem to be pretty sturdy. Is this car going to be driven on the streets? I am not positive if this is true or not but I have heard that it is kind of dangerous to sport limit straps on the street. But this may or may not be true though.

 

take a vid of you taking off with your street tires and see how much the front end raises up, if it dont then you dont need straps, if your rear just squats then stiffen that up. it all depends on how your car reacts

Just because your car lifts in the front and squats in the rear doesnt exactly mean you need limit straps. A higher spring rate ( i.e.900 lbs. or 1000 lbs.) would reduce/prevent your car from squating. I uprgraded to skunk2 drag launch coilovers a couple of years back when my Si was still on the road and this reduced squating drasticly.

 

Turn the boost down, get an alignment if you haven't done so already and get some drag radials..

You don't wanna use the limit straps on the street because for them to work right the need to be preloaded which will take away from suspension travel, every time the suspension would try to push the car back up after a bump the straps would reach their limit snap and stop the body of the car very hard.
I think it would be very stressfull on the frame driving with them prloaded and going over pot holes all the time. I think there are better ways of curing tire spin without compomising safety.

 

best way to regain traction is a boost per gear boost controller....

 

what boost controler do you recomend mase?

yes the car is drivin on the street

 

apexi avc-r is badass for that, they have a write up floating around here somewhere

yep, i like the avcr, it can be tricky to get it to learn the gear. but once u got it set, its pretty sweet.

 

What shocks do you have? I found having quality shocks made a good difference as well as making sure the tires are the correct size for the rim. Putting to wider tyre on the rim will give you less contact as it bow like this " ) ".

 

wooooaaaah... how did I miss that teh AVC-R has gear dependant boost control? It looks like my ProfecB is a piece of **** after all. lol

 

the avcr has gear dependent speed dependent and rpm dependent boost controll

2 programable settings and a scramble boost button that allows you to jump to a high boost setting with a momentary switch

 

no ******* way. so I can limit boost to be like 15psi 1st and 2nd and then 28 3rd and 4th? like two stage= 2 programmable settings? Or i can change the boost in every gear and also set the ramp up per rpm? in any case I likey.

 

do people have problems with rubbing on 225 bfg drag radial?

you can do all of that ...you can set the duty cycle in 500 rpm increments for the rpm based boost...

it has a A settign and B setting for street and track so you save your settings....that thing does anything you need its just a little complicated at first

I have 225 bfg drag radials on stock gsr wheels and they dont rub...I also have the coilovers jacked up in the front

i would also like to know, im debating over the 205 or the 225's but i don't want to raise my car, anyone have any pics of there car on 225's?

 

ok this might be a little off topis, and i'm sorry for bringin it up but i need a an answer. I have a friend selling an avc-r, its never been used but its like 3-4 years old or something. Has it changed since then?

 

I DO SELL THE LIMIT STRAPS BUT I WOULD RECOMMEND TRING A BOOST BUY GEAR TYPE BOOST CONTROLLER LIKE MASE SAYS MY STRAPS WORK GREAT BUT ALL WHAT YOU WANT TO DO
I LIKE THE QUAD 4 STAGE FROM TURBO XS AND THE TURBOSMART E-BOOST

 

All caps make me think of that dome-shaped fat girl from The Oblongs.
