Like the heading says.

I was just wondering a buddy of mine has a 93 I think it's milano red. With the h22a in it.

And he get's alot of wheel hop when he launchs.

Just wanted to get some straight foward answers from some prelude folk'.

Thanx.

 

A friend of mine has a civic and whenever he launches his car his wheels starting hopping also. He then proceeded to buy some new coilovers and the wheels don't hop anymore.

As for launching, a friend of mine has a h22 and he launches around 3 1/4 to 4K depending on how he is feeling ...

 

well in my civic I launch at 5-6k works wonders for my 60'.

But I was kinda wanting a answer from a person who has a great 60' time, and that has great 1/4 time's in there lude.

No offense... but that is what he launchs at now. And it kind of bog's down

 

5k

 

between 3500 and 4500 depending on track conditions or street

 

1800 on my old H23

my bud launches at 4.5, feathering.

 

i think that depends a lot on motor setup, suspension and tire size too

 

48k

 

generally around 4,300

 

The stiffer your suspension is, the more wheel hop you will get. As for me I'll be cutting my old stock springs and using them for the front when I hit the dragstrip.

 

I used to pull my best launches in VTEC 5500-6000 and feathering the clutch. Now I just spin no matter what I do with all the power

 

6300 rpm's

 

i thought the wheel hop had to do with your tires

has nothing to do with your tires, except maybe the fact that stickier tires will hop even more because its the tire that grips the most that forces the other side up causing them to both do this back and forth.

 

bout 5200
marsh

 

KYBs on full stiff in the front 3s in the rea. I launch between 3500 and 5k depending on how well the clutch is taking... it slips alot.

well ya learn something new everyday

 

not a prelude but H22 Turbo in a civic........ 7500 to 8000 on slicks..we also have competition engineering front traction system...tires spin through first but 60 ft is ok

 

yea my lude hops if i rev too high. I try to work the clutch a little rather than just dropping it off the line. Works better than just peeling through the first gear into the second

 

Well thanx for all the response's guys.

My buddy's prelude is sitting on accord springs I believe. Stock struts.

And some new tires, I believe sumitomo's? but im not sure.
