Do you guys have wheel hop that badly??? I don't have any at all!!! I see a lot of people putting these in on their tc.. What's the purpose besides wheel hop? (ZZP tranny mounts)

 

Another question I've been wondering is if the mounts help out with the mount's distance from the steering rack when rack spacers are installed. My rack is right up next to my mount. That kinda sounded weird. lol

 

Hey where is the pdf for the clutch in install in the how to...i was looking it up and the pdf is not there no more

 

I was not getting much wheel hop to be honest. I just got it because I thought I would on the freeway with the new added hp. But since I put them in on saturday. I felt a difference right away with both mounts in. The steering much more precise, not that it already wasnt. Wehn I'm on a turn and I go on a bump, it sent my steering off with stock mounts. Now it's smoother than ever, if I hit a bump, it will stay on track and its much tighter. There are more vibrations in the cabin but worth it for me. I really like the mounts and recommend them highly! I feel much better in the turns, way more confident. Can't wait to take my car to the track circuit and see the difference. I love it!

 

excellent!! I hate it that! Now I have so much whp that when I'm in 3rd at wot and hit a bump like that the tires break loose again! Or goin around a turn it throws it off big time! I will definitely be getting this now !

Hahahahaha

 

who goes over bumps while WOT?

 

Sometimes there are bumps in the road in the middle of a pull when logging. I do it quite often, drives me nuts tho.

 

Like a damn pavement error in the road. Have you been to Michigan.. As soon as you hit Ohio your like omg heaven for my car

 

Never said I was WOT. I go canyoning on weekends and sometimes there are some bumps on a turn where I don't see fast enough to avoid. The tires stay on the floor instead of one going in the air and the other not. It's planted and just sharper.

 

He was talking about me.. But I know what your talking about! I plan on gettin these

 

Ohh, I don't even know how i skipped your post. Yes you should! You won't regret it.

Can't wait for your build to be done!

 

Wow, I've never heard of it directly affecting steering in any way. I would've maybe guessed it if you were talking about getting on and off power during a turn - that it may have helped keep the car settled on its track.

Between the NBSs and cams, I'm worried about vibes. I left the stockers in there because I don't do that many digs to see wheelhop, and I was hoping the stock mounts could make things a bit easier for the tranny and the occupants. lol If I could get a little bit of clearance about the steering rack though I'd feel better about my setup. I wonder if just some a Stage 1 setup from Powell(?) would clean that up a bit without adding too many vibes.

 

PM Frogstofall. He'll e-mail you a copy.

 

Update: Today I finally got my new tires on, 2 Nitto Nt05 up in the front for now. I also Installed my 3bar MAP sensors on my car. Since I did that I had to get a new tune for those sensors. I finally had to erase my Trifecta tune and upload a new tune from James using HP tuners. I did this so he can get a feel for my car right now while its on stock turbo and my driving habits .Another reason is so I can become more familiar with the tuning uploading and logging process cause I've never done this before. I want to be all ready for when my big turbo is installed. For a couple of days I will log my car and send him my logs. So far we are on the fourth revision of his tune. It's just getting stronger and stronger. I feel it becoming smother than my old tune. I absolutely love it. I will get pics of the tires up front later as my camera is charging. I don't know if I mentioned, one week from today is the turbo install! I can't wait!

 

coming together nicely

 

So wait, why you have to wait one week again? You aren't installing it yourself? I dunno how you can wait, I would been had my jazz tore apart by now.

 

I'll be completely honest with you, I didn't notice much vibes added with the cams and nbs. Just make sure your bottom end is balanced really well(better than factory spec) and you should be good. But the mounts make the biggest difference. I had them before and after the built engine. Not much of a difference at all.

 

Lol, he's wanting to break in the new clutch on the stock turbo.

 

Probably a good idea.

 

Thanks man, slowly but surely.

No lol, the appoinment was set for aug10 at the shop. I needed to wait for another pay day too to be in the clear.

Yea, for the first week I really did not like the KY at all. It was soo hard to start in first gear. Now its broken in 500miles later it's chillen. Holds the power in third, no more little slips.

For now i'm on a conservative tune, he's working me up slowly. Then the EFR 6 days left!

 

Just to be clear: I'm already running the cams and NBSs... I meant wanting to leave in the stock mounts versus going with upgraded mounts.

Biggest difference as in the amount of vibes or something else?

 

Install is tomorrow. WOOT!

 

Nice!!!! When will it be done by? I'm going to have to drive North and pay you a visit to see this thing

 

Ohh hell yea
