i have an 03 evo 8 i have 280/280 comp cams,tbe,meganracing manifold,255lph fp, upper and lower ic piping,fmic,turbosmart bov, turbosmart bc, and tuned.
when i get on it in second gear and reach about 5k rpm the front tires start to spin it only does it once in awhile. sometimes all four grab. anyone have an idea of what this could be? any help would be greatly appreciated.
btw new to the car so dont know much about the awd system yet.

 

Doesn't the 03 have an open front diff?

 

im not sure im new to the car i will have to look it up and find out but it never did this before and i had the car for a couple months now and it never did this before.

 

Yup the 03 does have an open diff.

 

ok thanks i dont know much about that yet but i took it to the track and the tranny and xfer case dropped and i got it rebuilt and was wondering if it had something to do with the xfer case.

 

Sometimes when I launch mine the front tires spin first.

 

yea mine always spun all 4 when i launched but now when im going in second and get on it only the front spin. i was just out running it again and nothing happened

 

something does not sound wright!

 

yea and the only thing i can think of is the awd system going out

 

The AWD system doesn't just "go out", it could be a transmission, transfer case or diff problem but unless you've been launching it all the time, I doubt it.

 

i only launched the car three times at the track last year and the tranny and xfer case were just rebuilt and they said the diffs looked fine and didnt need to be replaced.

 

just throwing an idea at you....Are you sure the tires are spinning...and your not just felling the clutch slip?

 

yes because the car starts to slide and the clutch is a stage three forgot to put that in the description

 

you need to get it rebilt

 

i just looked at the car and found out that the tranny bolt is loose could that be a problem for it spinning?
