TRACTION! How do you guys do it.....
 
When I Was boosting 4, I would tak eoff in first, then at like 5mph, I would be able to just floor it, and spin them....spin them....grab second and spin them...and spin them... then get third gear scratch...Then I see videos of people boosting 15 or 10 and such and not even a screetch. Is it tuning????????

225's or bigger are the only way to go. also it is in the driving i could spin them all day being NA if i tried.

Slidin'Miata916 06-24-2007 04:47 PM

225's!!!!!!!!!!! They fit?????? I thought I was pushing it with the 195's

TwoScoopsofHooah 06-24-2007 04:53 PM

225's fit like a champ. But I'm not sure if ya have the 14 inch wheels... on my 15's they fit pretty dang good!

Slidin'Miata916 06-24-2007 04:55 PM

Yea, What about the 14 inch daisys! Anyone running that with 225's or bigger?

y8s 06-24-2007 04:55 PM

try not flooring it...

but yeah 225s fit easy.

Slidin'Miata916 06-24-2007 04:56 PM

Or wait....If they fit on the 15's then they have to fit on the 14's haha,right?

a 4.10 with an LSD will cure wheelpin completely at less than 8psi.

magnamx-5 06-24-2007 05:01 PM

it wont seal on the puny daisys you need a 7 inch wheel atleast to run those.

TwoScoopsofHooah 06-24-2007 05:04 PM

I guess I should have made it clear that I Was running after market wheels.

magnamx-5 06-24-2007 05:16 PM

yeah your wheels are sweet dude. we need to do something about all that rubber you have though it is being wasted in the garage.

Slidin'Miata916 06-24-2007 05:20 PM

So your saying it wont fit on the daisys? Whats the biggest on the daisys do you think? isnt there a calculator for this. Let me check.

magnamx-5 06-24-2007 05:23 PM

it is a 5.5 or 6 inch wheel. you might fit 205's but it wont seal right. get some real wheels. or get some slicks on those daisys at 195 it should hold alot better. I recomend rotas, kosie t1's, rpf1's, sportmaxxes, etc see what you can afford and like. it will dramatically improve the handling.

Slidin'Miata916 06-24-2007 05:28 PM

Wait.. What do you mean by wont seal right

Replace your boost gauge. I didn't break loose in first till 10psi and I didn't break loose in second untill 14psi, unless I dump the clutch hard. Are you really tearing it up like that on only 4psi? I want your engine. :gay:

Slidin'Miata916 06-24-2007 05:44 PM

Yep. I was...And Its not the boost gauage because I swaped it with a diff. autometer and it read the same! Now I wish I took video so I can show you guys....

magnamx-5 06-24-2007 05:45 PM

yes more video needed or better yet dyno results.

Slidin'Miata916 06-24-2007 05:46 PM

Well.....Cant areally do that anymore. Fried rings. When I put the new motor in and it does the same, ill take video for sure. I dont see why not though.

y8s 06-24-2007 05:56 PM

for what it's worth, a hard launch even at my puny 9 psi will spin the tires.
