5SFE Wheel Hop

[GrkBallaG]

So yeah, ive got mad wheel hop upon heavy acceleration. The V6 guys have there torque rod to take care of that and im wondering is there anything out there that will control wheel hop for the 5S like the torque rod for the V6 guys?????

[heyha]

how are you getting wheel hop with 130hp?

usually its suspension-related, but it could also be caused by poor-quality tires, as well

Doesnt matter how much power you have. Ive got K-SPorts and im rockin Potenza's RE050A Pole positions (not in the least crappy tires)

whats the feasibility of swapping in the V6 5-speed tanny? You'd be able to then use the Torque rod.

If you look in his sig it says 5S-FTE

it says "ready for the snail", so i didnt think that he had started the build yet

but even with a 5SFTE, you shouldnt be getting wheel hop from power

my guess is the suspension, just based upon skimming and scanning racecar suspension books for Formula SAE

Pretty much just swapping the tranny and hubs along with axles. But i want to know if theres any help for the S series tranny and the 5S.

And no im not turbo... yet

i really think you should take a closer look at adjusting your suspension setup

So you suggest adjusting the damper?

[heyha]

yeah, poor damping could be the culprit - youre on k-sports, right?

its probably not an issue with unsprung weight, so its either damping or torque/tranny issues

[bigbird]

man...forget wheel hop, get the turbo on damnit!!!

im surprised ur havin that problem with the K-sports on.

[Rdizzle]

hmmm, wonder if i will have this issue.....

[ASG14]

I need to compare my dads 5S to my 1MZ in the afternoon and see how feasable it is to weld the bracket to the 5S Tranny for the torque rod. It should bolt to the subframe without any work, it;s just getting it to the tranny. Eye8Pussies will be here all day, so I'll have him look too.
