Ok I'll say it, what the f*ck is antilag?

Ever heard a rally car on the start line popping and farting and making alot of noise? Anti-lag basically makes the turbo spin all the time, it generates alot of heat and shortens turbo life greatly. It's similar to the new launch control, but runs on all cylinders and is completely insane on anything but a full-on track car!

Ahh ok, doesn't sound like a good idea. Wouldn't a stall converter work the same and just launch on boost.

yes, but then you need an auto, defeats the purpose of this thread doesn't it Dill?

Antilag injects fuel on the exhaust stroke creating combustion in the exhaust, thus spinning up the turbo to a possitive boost pressure.

A Pat mentioned it will kill manafolds and turbos much quicker than without it.

You can get this feature on Motec, Haltec and a few other aftermarket ECUs. I guess it is not popular in our cars due to traction and Torque.

yes it is hard on the turbo, valves, and exhaust system, but I think with a bit of mechanical sympathy it should be ok. Many people have had years of life out of their turbo running it... the trick is not to sit on it for too long. 2 seconds is all you need, like the supra in the video at the start of this thread.... pop pop pop, GOOOOOOONE!

the issue has been with programming it into the tune on our XR`s, its difficult if not impossible without some 'help'... Also being able to flatshift consistantly without loosing boost between shifts - notwithstanding being a freak driver like F6 UTE...

bloody sick of these thread, here's an idea; MAKE THE THREAD WHEN YOU HAVE THE RESULTS!

I guess the wog has mastered this then?

I think Dave was having an estrogen induced moment.

Yeah, I know, I know! you're totally right... he's no better...

still doesn't change the fact that it's freaking annoying!
