Will torque damp be enough to eliminate wheel hop or should I go with traction bars?

 

If you want to eliminate wheel hop get a motor mount or tranny mounts. The tranny mounts alone would get rid of almost all the wheel hop.

 

TD wont get rid of it, but it will help alot.

it also depends on what mods you have....if your running slicks/drs....if you race on the track....

if you want to eliminate it all together, a TD wont do it completely.

 

Better/grippy tires help too & play a role

Torque damper is good for everyday/normal driving

SMM's would be better for normal/harder driving (you're gonna get vibrations in/throughout the car)

From what I hear, the traction bars make a lot of noise

 

Exactly, check ours out if you are interested at www.TurboTechRacing.com

 

anyone know if the tranny mount vibrate much? I would like a lil less wheel hop although newer tires helped quite a bit... I can't get a TD or turbo tech SMM

 

yes the tranny mounts give you vibs. I have had control arm bushings as well but they fell apart, but while i was running that setup i never had wheel hop. Tranny mounts alone will not cure it at all when you start to push some power. I wheel hop from any roll in second 30,40,50

 

I tried the TD, didn't like it. I race autocross, 1/4m, 1/8m, 1on1 circle track drag, and it wasn't enough. I went all out with a Bwoody full set of mounts and traction bars. You better believe I don't have any wheelhop .
Yes, you will get vibrations. But I think too many people jump on mods that they don't really need then want to cry about a little discomfort. If you really race, you need to eliminate wheelhop. If you just want to get a mod to say you have it, you need to rethink your priorities.
If you really want to see this car perform, eliminate your wheelhop with the mounts, stiffen up your suspension with swaybars/coilovers(not just lowering springs), and most importantly, learn how to drive the car for all it's worth before thinking it needs more hp than the car/driver can handle in the first place. I have personally proven that the car has plenty of power to be competative as is, as long as you can get the power to the ground.

Boy, it got lonely up on that soapbox.

 

the vibs i can handle but the squeaking from the tractions bars is not something i would want. I don't want people to think my **** is falling apart

 

they vibrate a little bit. i don't think it's that bad though. it's a trade off though, and it's one that's totally worth it. the people that complain about the vibes are just being silly. it's like complaining after you put your exhaust on that it's louder than stock no **** it is!

why can't you get a td or smm

 

Let'em think it's falling apart....
Then leave'em wondering what happened when your "rikity piece of **** cobalt" blows them away.

AMEN BROTHER

 

they only help you spin not hop, my first and second are useless anyways

 

Who wants anything that's going to help them hop?


So, then, you take off in third?

 

no i just go half throttle in first and then try to feather second, i can't mash it or a spin and hop

 

same here

 

Thanks Area, for chiming in. It just wouldn't be a thread without some kind of comment from you.

 

damn pirelli's

 

i do what i can.

i have the ttr mount, well. it does not cure wheel hop.

depending on the pavement type, i could either, hook, mild hop. or flat out spin in second.

 

if someone could manufacture a control arm bushing that stays together that is were the money is at. I would just spin with them in, now my car hops like its the things job

 

k thanks guys
