This seems dangerous...

I have never seen a Dyno used like that before. What is the purpose? 1/4 mile numbers will be useless because there is no wind resistance not to mention the resistance on the engine is not the same as the resistance of the car.

so wait wtf is an antilag??


and hector, did you get your contour back??

Chris anti lag and 2step is the same thing..basically you engage clutch and push gas down..The car will bounce on what ever rev you have it set for...

I have the 2Step/Antilag and mines set at 5k..Now at that 5k im also building/boosting 7PSI off the line, Hence antilag

and no he doesnt have the contour lol

anti lag and two step are not the same. The purpose of both is the same, but two step is more for launching and anti lag is all the time hence the reason I sarcastically said "anti lag is great for turbos!" With anti lag your turbo is always spooling, while two step is to get your turbo spooling when you are using it for launching. Your description is of two step which is the most common. Anti lag drammtically decreases the life of the turbo. But yes, they both serve a similar purpose. :)

I am not the best at explaining, but they are different.

They have dyno drags every weekend in St. Louis and they are able to compensate for the wind resistance. The actual numbers will still be off from what you would run on the 1/4 but they are pretty close.

so it's like brake boosting?? im not hip to all these riceboy terms!!! :crazy: j/k
 
Yeah, originally designed for rally cars (2.0L turbos) to keep them on boost betwen gear changes.

Essentially (simple) you dump fuel in the exhaust (which then detonates b/c of the heat). This keeps the exhaust pressure up when the revs drop (during gear changes) thus keeping the turbo (exhaust driven of course) spinning at high rpm and creating max boost. Thus increasing power and decreasing losses during gear changes.

Pretty cool but you'd want an insdustrial strength exhaust system to run it on a road car.

apparently when it's time for bed i couldn't figure out what RET meaned in your sig. i guess it means retired :troutslap:

anyway...so i guess i understand what antilag is. What's the 2step thing? what you guys explained doesn't sound at all like what kevin said :confused:

Instead of modulating the throttle trying to maintain revs at a certain RPM when launching, you are able to put the car in first, hold the clutch, and hold the gas down 100% while maintaining the RPMs sit at what is programmed in the ECU. It also allows you to maintain a steady boost level.:cool:

So you want to launch the car at 5k RPMS, it is programmed in the ECU and even though you have the gas pedal at the floor, it will stay at 5k. Once you are ready, you let go of the clutch and you are at 100% throttle immediately.

Simply a launch rev-limiter.:laugh:
