I usually run on 20x8x14 slicks...but I decided to give it a shot on my Azenis tires. I got crazy wheel hop. For example...I shifted hard into second gear (clutch in...let go of throttle/ clutch out...full throttle). Car was shaking so hard that it popped outta 2nd gear into neutral. After that..for the 1-2 shift....I was feathering the throttle and/or attempting it with the clutch...but it's so damn inconsistent.

So what are some things to help combat my wheel hop?

-Motor Mounts?
-Z10 Bars?
-Screw street tires...just run slicks?

Setup is:
92 hatchback
B18C1 Motor
Intake/Header/Open Cutout
CM Stage 4 Clutch
Ground Controls (integ rates up front)/Koni Yellows
205/50/15 Falken Azenis

Thanks.

Z10's or Jimfab.

 

jim fab bars, stiffer mount or inserts

I wheel hop my azenis 205/50's with a b16 in a 89 4 door. Probably bad mounts.

 

I wonder how BFG drag radials would be

 

try mounts first

 

What kinda mounts would you recommend? How much am I looking at?

 

the reason your car might have poped out of gear may have been because of bad mounts as well.

 

get the PROTHANE mounts

 

How do the 20" slicks treat ya?

Once you figure out what rubber and wheel hop have in common, it is easy.

 

20'' slicks work great.

 

It might be related to Tyre pressures and Shock rates. Theyre the easiest and cheapest thing to play around with to start with anyway

 

Hey Rod, get a good quality mount kit, problem solved.

 

that'll probably be the first thing i upgrade

 

yeah, drop tire pressure to like 10psi on the azenis. i have the same problem. my mounts are just fine. also, shocks are the other main problem with wheel hop. but, try lowering the tire pressure and heating up the tires good.

 

Yeah, since I changed my clutch to the CM's stg 4 I've also been having some massive wheel hop even with my b16
I'm thinking it may have something to do with the stock shocks I'm dropped on
I just put in the ES mount inserts last week and should head to the track this upcoming week, I'll give some feedback on them.

 

who makes a good mount kit

 

Place Racing.

 

we talking about quantity or quality? hehhhe

 

so whats good
es?
are there any cons to these mounts?
vibration??

 

Try the traction bars from Midnight Peformance in Sacramento, Ca...they make them for most cars and mount to the stockt tow hook locations...these are great...not to expensive either...btw the number is (916)852-6887

 

another thing to try is to do some rear suspension work. The more the rear suspension is pushing down on the front tires, the less wheel hop you will have. Wheel hop is in no way related to this though, it is a front end issue, this may help some though

 

I tried these mounts to combat my wheel hop problem....they did nothing

 

expect making your car idle extremely rough. I have a 00 Si and I have both Prothane mounts for the top mounts and enery mounts for the rear and bottom. Car ildes rough as ****.
