i've been hearing some people say anti-lag. what is it?

 

its when your losing to somebody in a drag race and you hit the nitrous..

Now your not Lagging, your Leading... Or, Anti-Lagging

Simple, huh?

 

can u explain this for real to those who dont have this , like me with my tec 3

 

As far as drag racing is concerned, it allows you to build boost off the line with little to no load.

The true origin for anti-lag comes from ralley cars, it allows them to stay in boost when off the accelerator.

 

isnt this done by throwing fuel in the turbo?? as for as rich without timing? is it realibly consistent??

 

It retards the hell out of the timing (cuts spark) and adds a bunch of fuel.

Used to build boost off the line.

 

it is the coolest thing since sliced bread
are you familiar with fire works?

 

Mixing fuel and gun powder.

Did you say my name? lol j/k

 

it is good for building boost but bad for a turbo. You are delaying ignition until the fuel is in the manifold.

 

antilag breaks down like this.

a turboed engine builds boost under a load. so if you are sitting there in neutral you can rev the engine all day long but you are still in vaccuum.

however when the car is in gear the engine is under a load and as such the exhaust temperature is hotter. this pressure spools the turbo and you build boost.

the way antilag works, the ecu will retard your igintion timing many many degrees. this causes a ton of unburned fuel to make its way to teh turbo manifold. the heat of the turbo manifold causes teh fuel to combust and it spools the turbo.

this enables you to leave the line with full boost (or close to it) rather than launching, letting the turbo spool up, and then getting full boost.

i should also mention that automatics dont have this problem. since automatic transmissions use fluid coupling, they are under a load even at idle. when you have a boosted automatic car and you are at the drag strip, you step on the brakes and rev up the engine. the brakes are keeping the drive train still, but the engine is spinning against the resistance of the fluid coupling in the torque converter and this puts a load on the engine that lets you build boost from a launch.

 

Does anyone have the link as to how to set up anti-lag with crome? i saw it a while back and now i cant seem to find it. I searched but im must be usinf the wrong keywords.

EDIT: I found it, sorry

hey if you don't have anything help ful to say plz don't. not on my post.
so can you do this(anitlag) to an all motor car?

 

Since combustion is happaning in the manifold, is this bad for the turbo or does it put un due stress on the exhaust manifold or waste gate?

ok. i want you say what you just said out loud a few times.

"can i use an anti-TURBO-lag system in my NA car?"

seriously though. its just to cut down on turbo lag.

definitely. its really a race car only kind of thing. on race cars parts are disposable anyway.

im sure you could build a manifold that could withstand the abuse but i doubt that any of us (the whole forum) know enough about metal to make a manifold that could go up and down in temperature and not crack. not to mention, the issues with the oil in the turbo getting hot. my understanding of this stuff is limited to what i've read, so i cant quantify the temperature differences, but i would imagine that its significant.

 

The heat is bad, the shockwaves on the turbine bearings are worse.

The cool noise is worth replacing the turbo, though. Got to pay to play.

hahaha. it does sound cool. it sounds like a doberman pincher on methamphetamines tied to a short leash. like its lunging toward you mid-bark, and getting choked.
