im running the d15b vtec with 10psi and steelies from i say 1st and 2nd i experience major traction problem i have to ***** foot it if driving it normal. i was trying to find ways to get traction on launch and 2nd and wanted to know some input the first 3 i was thinking of doing was in the order

wider tires if that doesent help
traction bar. last but not least
lsd.

i mean the car pulls but im not going anywhere and my car seems to shift to the right as well right at 5psi. any help would be appreciated. thanks

 

what transmission do you have? i love the d15b (my old motor). what type of power are you making at 10 psi? LSD will probably be your best option but you could get a gear based boost controller and just tune for traction. that is what I'm going to do. i picked up the apexi avc-r.

 

stickier tires are going to be your best option. with a fwd car unless you have a complete drag suspension/set up and some very very sticky tires you are going to have traction problems.

 

ya the tire thing could be the problem but that should be one of the first upgrade you get done to a car IMO. what kind of tires are you running?

 

Looking for opinions from people running the new RT615 Azenis in the 300whp range

 

what tires are you running? that is where you need to start from..... if you are running shitty tires then doing any of the 3 that you stated wont help

The problem is, you more than likely have shitty tires on your steelies. I doubt you have any more than 200 whp with that setup, so I wouldn't waste my money on traction bars and LSD just yet.

Azenis are not a drag tire, despite alot of people using them for this purpose. They are sticky tires, but they have very stiff sidewalls, they are made for going around turns.

 

Getting a decent tire will help A LOT. I made 277hp 255trq on my boosted B20 setup. I had some crappy all seasons on there and I could spin into 3rd with ease. I went and got some decent tires on it from Les Scwab the only time Id lose traction is when I hit full boost in the top of 2nd (15+PSI) and by then it was time to shift to 3rd anways. What also helps is learning how to drive with your cars setup, IE turbo ect.

Good luck.

 

tires,lsd,traction bar, is the way to go.

 

invest in some nicer tires, or yes, go quaife lsd. i had traction issues also, i had NO 1st gear, and once i hit vtec in 2nd, i lose traction. Not much you can do when your car has ***** under the hood, lol.

Id upgrade the suspension with some stiffer springs and dampners before i would put a traction bar on my car.

 

I wouldnt, wheel hop sucks and getting a traction bar gets rid of that plus it made my car feel MUCH more stable at all speeds.

Not a tire inteneded for power. Good road course tire but not a good tire for anyone making any kind of power. I had to learn the hard way. I have the new RT615 and traction is an issue for me and i am only making 233whp. My next tires will be BFG drag radials for sure. Tried out my buddies BFG drag radials and lets just say it was a lot more fun to hook up then blaze the tires through first and second.

 

i was not impressed with the Azenis RT's i got to drive my friends new SI and they didnt grip like they said they would. cut 2.2-2.1 60' times.. a month later he tried some BFG Drag Radials and 60' dropped from the first run 1.9- and at the end of the day he was cutting 1.7 60'

BFG would be my tire of choice
