does it matter if its legal or not? why bother installing an anti-lag system unless its a track/rally dedicated car??

..it aint gunna get you to westfield any quicker.

You signed up onto SAU to ask whether shooting 1m flames from your exhaust at a set of traffic lights is illegal.....hmmm let me think....

Jokes aside, ive always wondered how antilag works. Very interesting read on wikipedia, like how the restrictors they use create more lag then a normal sports car so the turbo needs to be going stronger before they put the foot down.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antilag_system

on the street would be useful if you had a larger turbine and wanted to go on a spirited drive, although its probably very illegal and probably harsh on your powertrain.

I would think the exhaust with mufflers and cat converter would be blown out in a few minutes on the street.

definitely belongs in motorsport though.

Its not stress on the drivetrain you need to worry about.

Its stress on the motor/turbo. That's where the issue is. You'll be replacing turbos quite often if its used even semi-regularly.

thats what i meen,he would be burning through exhaust valves quicker then the turbo though.

I setup antilag on the Vipec for shits and giggles (it's not 100% setup as I'm not that keen on it). Definetely not good for your car though.

You sure Evos have it from factory? What models? I've never heard that before that's all.

You mean proper antilag for between gear changes or just launch control antilag? (I wrote up a post in the past explaining all the different things people refer antilag to but can't be bothered finding it).

Evos do not have antilag from factory.... I used to have one and two of my good mates have them

some of them do. it is a pretty watered down system though. also in some cases it is disabled in the ecu. basically it is put on there as a provision to get around certain homogolation regulations in certian rally classes (group N i think). so basically some of them have all the gear, but it isn't turned on. not sure what models do and don't, but all i know is that the info above generally applies to the evo 3

Most evo's have the "missfiring system" from the factory, it is something that can be turned on in the ECU ( many of the evo ECU's are factory flashable)

You can see the pipework in an OEM engine bay !

However many owners can and do remove it, because for most people having it is irrelevant.

Also,

If one forces sex upon a prostitute is it rape or shoplifting ?

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
