i just installed a greddy upper and lower ic pipes and greddy bov typr rs

now i just want to share this thing with you guys, now on second gear after 3 rpm and after i hit 15 psi my wheel are spinning badly until red line its like iam loosing a lot of power due to spinning and you can even smell the tires LOL it did not happen to me before , however there is very good pull. is this normal on your cars? i have 16 inch wheels and in good condition GOODYEAR , but really if iam on 15 psi now and i cant control the car how if i increase more power down the road? im not flooring it also iam just reaching slowly to 15 psi and it will spin like hell.

the wheels will spin up to redline and really you can smell the tires. is this normal on 15 psi ???
thanks
 
pretty normal on a small and narrow tire.. My buddy spins all the way to 3rd all the way to redline.. When he has his nitrous hooked up LOL...
 
First if you are pushing 15+ PSI than you need a LSD (limited slip differential) because with the stock one, it's turning only one wheel at a time.

There are also some tires called "Drag Radials" which are like Slicks but with some tread on them.

Also the sand and dust on the roads out there don't help. I lived in Dubai for 5yrs and had a BMW 3.0 CS which would lite up the tires at every intersection :D

you know what maybe you are right as all the roads here are sandy and full of dust :hmm:

does it hurt anything this spinning ?????


thx
 
FWD :( If I was you, I would invest in a really good set of street tires that have good enough grip to play with. That lsd would help too!
 
LOL but no i searched and it will destroy as well my clutch plate and it will put pressure on the crank . so i need to take it easy now :|

You're putting less pressure by spinning than you would if you weren't.
 
-control your throttle more carefully
-dont mash on it in lower gears since you are FWD. its cool for a smoke show, but not for performance
-get wider (better) tires
-limited slip differential
-AWD conversion :D (best idea ever)
 
You are complaining about what happens to all GST/TSi (FWD) owners.

What you are experiencing is NORMAL.

Are you on the stock turbo also? if so, you have nothing to complain about yet, try when you have a faster setup. Then the fun begins.

The only solution.... AWD
 
what tire pressure are you running in your tires? and what size tires? which goodyear tires are they? sport tires, all around, high mileage...?
