sl3196 Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 My GTP will spin them up to 40mph! And yes I'm in need of new tires soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadz34 Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 WHAT!?! The DOHC will squeel, If you floor it and it doesn't even chirp you have a problem. I have no problems with power at all, but then again I only have 44,000 kilmometers on my car. I haven't ever matted it, but I have still broke them loose.

Redwingvksm Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Pfft. My 1989 Buick GS doesn't chirp/spin the tires w/ the 3.1! And that's w/ my tires at the PSI maxium on the tire - 44 PSI!?! Just get a newer vehicle if you want to churp the tires - plus I'm sure the cops are just looking for a free ticket! 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
widetrak95 Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 my 3.4 DOHC will chirp every 1 in 3 times I try to make it. I think it depends on how you stomp the pedal on my car. I've always wondered why it does sometimes but not others. I do have good tires on it, which might account for somethng. My mom's 2000 GTP is a different story though. It'll chirp alot easier.

THe_DeTAiL3R Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 3.4 should spin just as easy as a 3.1. Yes, they have most of their power up high, but they have ~200HP compared to 140hp or whatever so regardless they should spin. And yes, you shouldn't be beating on your engine with such low mileage.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FastSE2DR Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 And yes, you shouldn't be beating on your engine with such low mileage.... why not? its not as bad as you think it is...its better to break your motor in early anyway...and 2k is PLENTY broken in...if not then there might be somethin wrong with the motor because of the build or somethin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Something MUST be wrong with the engine if it can't spin the tires like hell. A brand new 2000ish GTP I test drove (a few years ago) with only a handfull of miles broke the tires lose so to speak, a good 20-30ft patch I'd say....

dohc v6 Posted April 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 i think it has something to do with the fuel. but i do have brand new tires on there they have 1,000 miles on them. i have no idea. i should be able to get something. when i stomp on it it feels like it hesitates a little and then all the sudden it opens up. so what do you guys think it is. the engine was rebuilt perfectly. do you think it could be something with the fuel curve because on the newer style engine. do you think it could be the tranny. i might just switch to a 5 speed. but it is a 94 z and they are pretty rare so i am lost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topless94style Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 I could spin the tires no problem with my DOHC. 1/2-3/4 throttle from a stop would chrip them no problem. Although a few times i did notice that dropping it all the way to the floor from a stop would cause a slight bog. Now when i launch like that i go 3/4 till it pics up speed a bit then drop the gas to the floor. Your motor should have no problem spinning the tires, and a nice 500-1000mile break in period should be plenty for a new engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slick Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 a car peeling out isn't a good thing it cuts your 1/4 time down since you waste time spinning the wheels like that. a drag car with a properly setup suspension will not burn rubber or even chirp the tires. i would only be concerned if your z34 loses to my 2.8 in a race if that happens your car has major problems Incorrect. It is actually good for a small amount of wheelspin in the 1/4 mile. In fact, high speed dragsters spin there tires the whole way down the track. When there tires do catch, thats when they start losing control, and crash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my engine was running at its peak, it even chirped into 3rd.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonyman87 Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 well from personal experience, Tires will make a huge difference if you can squeal tires. a new set of tires will make it hard to break them loose. i know i can break tq to 1500rpms and get minimal tire spin, just give your car some time with the new motor and all. let everything seat properly and it will be a screamer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baddflash Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Maybe the motors just fine and the tranny's the problem? Just my 2cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaloutsider Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 With the shitty tires I had on my GP, I could smoke 'em all day even with the 3.1. It's another story with the Bonneville.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loominaz34 Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 I can spin about a half a revolution consistently with 176,000 miles on the engine and trans. However it's almost totally silent :? I've got goodyear eagle RSII's up front I believe. never even gotten close to a chirp into second, But I almost never redline first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought wheelspin was good because it helps the engine get into it's powerband quicker so that when the tires actually do hook up, the engine is at it's most efficient spot.

99RegalGS Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 I can get my tires to chip into 2nd once and awhile. I don't normally slam it that hard into gear though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joey b Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 my new engine didn't get to its full potential until at least 2K in. It was probably more like 5K miles though before it was at its full potential. It would barely chirp the tires before I put 500 on the clock.

dohc v6 Posted April 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 i think it is the tranny i have 2 quarts of fluid to much would that do anything.and i tryed to get them to chirp yesterday and they didvery lightly but i think i was on the slick part of the white line at the stop light. i deffinitly think it is the tranny. i hate auto's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
