launch control and anti lag
i am wondering how the anti lag works? is it actived when you active the launch control? the other thing is i was reading that the anti lag system is used with nos. is there anyway that it can be used without nos? i know that if you remove timing under a launch and add a ton of fuel it will spool the turbo. this is how the anti lag system works on the honda neuptune.
thanks

as far as i have read, the anti lag system in the Extra code, retards the ignition and dumps fuel in alowing it to pass the exhaust valves into the turbo and spools up the turbo when the throttle is off, all though it generates serious heat and can kill turbos very quickly and spits silly flames out of your exhaust,

hi squirt newbie here... i am looking into the use of anti lag and its ok for very short burst on normal turbo's, maybe gear changes, but for showing off or track days it will soon kill a turbo as mentioned above, you would need a turbo with Maram 247 Wheel & Shaft and these start at £1500 GBP and still dont last that long due to the silly heat, i have seen cars with anti lag melt the paint off the bonnets before just thro showing off the pops and bangs
still very impressive tho
still very impressive tho

With how often you have to lift the throttle when autocrossing, I would say that an antilag will nuke the turbo and manifold. I've heardo f some Neon autocrossers using other engine managements with ALS and they have trouble using all the power in the turns.A4seen Racer wrote:im also interested in anti-lag. would it be viable at an autocross? or would even that short run be too much heat for a turbo to handle?
The only thing I haven't done at this point is PM baldur. I've searched through all 250+ of his posts and the most recent one was back in April or thereabouts.MegaScott wrote:You guys need to PM "Baldur", he's an expert at MegaSquirt Antilag, among other things.
Doesn't Launch control already work with the current code?, also does not the current flat shifting option keep the boost up, effectively making it a form of anti-lag?
Re the flatshift, yes, it would work as an antilag the same way a two-step would. You just cut spark and hold the throttle wide open, thus still pumping lots of air throught the turbo without overevving. However, I need something much more agressive like severe ignition retard so lots of energy spools the turbo.
