    Wheel Hop FTL

    Ive already limited boost to 50% in first gear and ramped it up to 90%. However since the cold weather hit the streets im hopping mad hard.

    Anyway I can limit my ETC% in 1st gear 25%? I dont quite fully understand how i would be able to.

    do you have poly mounts? i have the two lower tranny and a custom filled pass side mount and i never get wheel hop even with my drag radials...

    tuning will only do so much in this case...

    if its your daily driver fill the mounts, they make a hell of a difference with a little added cabin vibration. If it isn't, opt for solid mounts....

    You can detune it but then you would lose a crapload of power to get rid of wheelhop. It is a FWD car after all, and the way the suspension is setup, you will get it. (dealt with it in my friends Sentra SE-R SpecV we used Home Depot washers )

    Also implement the pedal on the right...

    ...learn how to not use full throttle as the occasion demands. You'll go quicker, and break a lot less parts, for wheel hop is the single most abusive thing you can do to your driveline. I've got some good info in the article below:
