Propane Anti-Lag.

[Cubes]

I came across a couple of web sites a while back that used turbo's from cars to make a type of jet engine.

I'm not exactly sure how they did it but they were using a gas tank of some sort I remember. The flame would turn blue and look like a small after burner, it looked pretty unreal.

Could this be adopted to a vehicle to create a type of anti-lag (imagines after burner exhaust looking anti-lag)?

I think they open a valve and let air into the exhaust manifold before turbo, then overfuel the car to have unburnt fuel in exhaust. Oxygen + fuel + heat into turbine = jet engine anti lag. But I think a rebuild after every race was required ????

I've been reading up a little more and basically yep that is what they do.

Suprisingly the turbo's last quite some time providing you keep tabs on the exhaust temperature air fuel mix.

u daydreaming again joel?

lol... Always.

Some thing you would see in 2F2F. (After burners out the exhaust on a launch)

hey, there was a thread on anti lag a while back, and it had links in it to a subaru website where someone had written and posted videos about anti lag on his my01 wrx, said it sounded and worked really well, i think he had a link ecu.

I think the post may have been lost when the server went down, search for it through google, and u might find it on the subaru forum.

There are people on that wrx forum who have run anti lag for more than 30,000kms without any turbo problems. Also, apparently ihi turbos(fitted to wrx for factory) are in general more reliable when anti lag is used compared to garrett turbos.

This anti-lag would be a little different to the conventional anti-lag.

Not too good on a road car because it kills Cats. And I don't mean cats walking on the road either. Now that sounds like a worthwhile mod.

I think your right, there is a more passive anti-lag system (as seen in Initial D lol). I cannot remember how it worked. Although BIGBLOCK was right about killing cats, anything that blows flames is bad karma on a street car.
