anti lag and launch control

[wreckedhead]

Has anyone been using launch control and anti lag for racing.

i would love to know if anti lag is any good for 1/4 mile racing as i need something to keep my boost up between gears.

any recomedations or where to get it would be excellnt.

The power fc pro has launch control.

Antilag is good for keeping boost up when you are off the throttle, but it does put tremendous amounts of stress on things such as exhaust, exhaust manifold, turbo, exhaust valves etc. Id tell you to talk to MRT as from memory they do Link ecu's which can do anti-lag.

i have a power fc but i dont think its the pro series. i might give mrt a call, but i dont need it only for the street runs. never use it any other time, that way i hope it wont put to much stress on my turbo and so forth.

The other hastle with anti lag is you cant have a Cat. I had an antilag option on my starlet which was running Autronic. I was really looking forward to having it but decided against it.

[wreckedhead]

yeah but you dont have to use anti lag all the time, plus some people have the cats hollow so more air can pass through, i just want to see if anyone has anti lag on there gtr casue i found out today that you need to have a motec computer or power fc pro to run it, i have an older power fc so im looking for something after marker to run.

u can't drive around the street with anti-lag, for the simple fact that anti lag is a function where car have to be driven with at or near WOT 100% of the time otherwise she'll bunny hops everywhere and it get worst if u back of abit and it kick on like a pendulum effect. So it's WOT or nothing for anti-lag and another thing is u need deep pockets, mine aren't deep enough, as turbos are replace every couple thousand of kays if ur lucky.

[wreckedhead]

i already know all of what you wrote, but its only so i can get the time that i want, after that i wont use it, casue its to much of a hassle blowing things up and fixing them.

but thanks anyways.

I don't think antilag will be a major benefit to you on the strip. If you were doing rallying or circuit work it'd be more of a benefit to you.

But launch control will help get those 60' times down and more consistant.

The two cars I've been in with launch control, and both launched amazingly.

The GT4 (4wd) launched better than anything I've ever been in. So hard that you found it difficult to breath while launching and acclerating in first gear !! Mind you, it does have around 550hp

The other was a R33 GTS-t (PFC Pro), and it launched very well for a rwd car, far better than I could in my R33 GTS-t.

With both cars when launching with the launch control, when the launch control was activated and revs built up, so did boost (while you were stopped still).

It's weird seeing the boost gauge go up when your stationary...

antilag wont kill turbo's as quickyl as you think. i know of a subie thats been running the same vf22 for over two years and its only getting tired now, thats two years of mc type events.

you can wind the antilag back so its not so agressive (and so you still have brakes at low speeds)

link do it for line's i thought wolf did it as well?

[wreckedhead]

im trying to find out if there is someone using it with power fc.

[Kaido_RR]

u can also get antilag on wolf3d; and i have seen antilag run on stock wrx sti trubo and not kill it, the engine die before the turbo did

[wreckedhead]

i know that but what can i use to plug into the power fc so i can have antilag

[Kaido_RR]

wreckedhead, best to call up a local tuning house which deals with pfc im sure then can help you out

[wreckedhead]

ive already tried, no body has done it befor.

[Amaru]

The power fc doesnt support anti-lag, simple. You need a management system that can "cycle" the engine and purposely make it "miss" on certain cycles to get fuel into the exhaust manifold and then ignite in the exhaust manifold (while also keeping the throttle plate open a small amount to keep letting air into the engine).

The only way I could see of doing it with the power fc is by the old and crude "bang bang" method, which is injecting fuel and air straight into a burning hot exhaust.

If you want anti lag sell the power fc and buy a new computer-

Your options are:

*Motec (both the M48 and M800 have anti lag and Launch control as standard)

*Autronics (also has antilag as standard

*Wolf (not sure if its standard)

*Link (definately not standard you have to buy the addition chip which is about another

500 - thats the case on the wrx ecu anyway).

*Im not sure about the Haltec and microtec.

For simple ease of Antilag being turned on/off autronics is the only way to go - it can be turned on by simply flicking a switch - where as the motec an dlink the engine needs to be switched off and started agiain to engage it. So by that I mean if you driving normally and pull up at the lights - Autronics is the only one you can simply turn on without turning the car off.

on link the antilag chip is 160, email the link guys. should be a plug and play as well. but you do have to turn the motor off to turn the a/l on

[wreckedhead]

might give them a call, but dont know if link ecu is as good and the power fc

[DCIEVE]

prob not, immacul8 has covered it well in his post. its up to you which you choose
