i have a 92 prelude with a h22a swap, the thing is that before my car had some launch to it, about 2 months into having the engine in i started getting wheel hop, it was noticable but not too bad so i decided to buy tockico blues and my car felt less bumpier and it did help with the wheel hop but it was not good enough. and then the wheel hop had gotten worse with time and i found out i had my driver's side motor mount gone, it was completey broken, so i went ahead and bought innovative motor mounts, and i felt a difference as i got in, it felt alot quicker but my hop is still there, i am frustrated at not being able to find the exact root of the problem, what would you guy's check after getting mounts and new shocks? i was thinking of getting bushings, but i do not think bushigs will help much when my car feels as if its falling apart when i launch

 

learn how to drive....

 

as offensive as that sounds, hes right on the money.

Awesome advice lol.


You can try and not dumping the clutch at high rpm's. That will slow the hop down a bit. Learn how to ride the clutch a bit before launching. Suspension will help. Motor mounts apparently help but I don't have any experience with that.

Basically, if you are at a stop, rev to where you want to rev at while in gear and the clutch in, then let up the clutch but slow until it starts to catch and then let go of the clutch.

 

tires

Right, tires make a difference as well

 

its kind of like this video, but the thing is its not me, i have a 6 puck on it, and before i would hit the rev limiter at around 6500 and launch with no wheel hop, today i can dump it a 3-4 and i can feel it bouncing around, its not me; somethings messed and i gotta get to it

&lt;object width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cPXTEAUZkWE"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cPXTEAUZkWE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;

 

just copy and paste that url, and in that video the prelude hops like mine

 

whats the treadlife on your tires?
does it pull a certain way?

 

You really want to destroy your car don't you¿

Why launch at 6500? Are you drag racing this thing at a track? If not then take it easy on the street and quit trashing your car. Feather the clutch and you wont get wheel hop. I had this issue when I first got my car and it was because I just dumped the clutch at high rpm's which is not good.

I now have Koni Yellows and GC springs and I can still make it hop if I wanted to but if I feather the clutch I launch nice and quick.

 

CV axles, crossmember bushings, tires, suspension

could be a number of things.

slicks at 8k rpm ftw

 

what kind of tires?

going from shitty wanli to all season pirelli/firestone in the front got rid of my wheel hop...

 

i got kuhmo ecstca's 225's as of right now on some accord 15's, the thread is new, new; i have had these tires only for a few months, its not the tires , im pretty sure, but i will look into it soon and as soon as find out what's wrong, i will re-post the solution

 

well i asume its jus a power issue because i do the same thing but in a different sinario. if im kreeping in first jus messin around and floor it at 2 g's my car starts wheel hoping like crazy. im sure its just the torque of an h22 vs. tires that dont hav enough grip. its pretty powerfull. my buddys got a h22 in a crx nd untill he got slicks his car would jump about a foot and a half high off a launch. no joke. but ya i agree unless ur racing who cares jus feather it. i dont even drop the clutch that high in a race. good luck though. but i guess if u wish to get rid of it go with wat 98 vtec said he definetly knows his stuff.

 

Convert that BITCH to AWD man

 

energy suspension and traction bar

 

Rear wheel drive....

Yeah, I know. Nobody wants to heart the obvious. Sorry.
