Hi guys.
I've replaced clutch recently (put Aaron's stg 3 kit) and now breaking it in (200 miles already). Today I had to go WOT in 2nd gear and when my turbo kicked in my car began to jog... I've let gas pedal off immediately... It looked like something began to slip and then grab again (few times)... I had similar problem on old clutch too, when launched hard... but never had this problem when just go WOT in gear... I haven't much HP yet (10psi on SP61-like turbo) so I believe I was spinning tires, not 6-puck clutch...

So, what is this? I read something about wheel hop but don't understand actually what is it (can't you explain, please)...
And of course traditional question: how to defeat this problem?

PS: stock suspension here

Wheel hop occurs when taking off the line (correct? i've never experienced it anywhere else), this sounds like you were already in motion. Are you saying it was like surging, lunging?

Yes, I was in motion... about 3K RPMs in 2nd gear, then floored it and got this problem about 4300... as for surging/lunging - idk... It feels like driving the road with a lot of small bumps on high speed...

HOw does the engine feel when you WOT and experience that? Does the engine run smoothly, be sure the engine is fine because i had 2 cracked spark plugs and it would run kinda normally, but when i stepped on it all sorts of vibrating and it sounded like an RX-7. Apart of that, check on that cracked subframe. Check around where the subframe bolts are

My first guess would be what johnatan1 said your shock are gone, that being said from a first hand experience. My right rear shock is busted and everytime i accelerate hard and there is just a slight bump in the road i feel the tire bounce up and down real fast like you explained. I would start out by checking the shocks, push down on all four corners of the car and feel for excessive bouncyness.

Engine feels ok. I've installed standalone recently and replaced spark plugs just 200 miles ago (NGK).

Ok, I'll check tomorrow... May be one of shocks is shot already... At least it would be less pain than cracked subframe
