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.

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 ?

      I don't know if you can disassemble the thing and put it backwards for different ramp rates. They're both "2 ways" or both "1.5 ways" because well, 2 ways and 1.5 ways are the same 'thing' I do not know for sure, but I believe the 38420-RSS15-B5 is the 1 way, and 38420-RSS20-B5 is the two way. In other words, I predict Nissan considers this: to be a 1.5 way. No idea what actually happens when it arrives/you disassemble it. It would be an excellent question to ask Nismo directly! I somehow doubt you will get an answer though, I feel you would be the first person to document what you encounter when you open the box and the internet would be grateful.

      Well - they have arrived.  And they are easy on the eye to put it mildly... These only have three bolts - but for a start there is a key that fits with vacuum like precision..  And as you can see by my ruler, the interface is large..   I listened to a podcast on HP Academy about Dan (KiwiCNC) and I'm more than comfortable he knows what he is doing. R35 Bearing assembly should arrive later today so can mock that up for a look. Can't wait to get these on and get some brake pressure logging too. IMG_3860.MP4

      I would be very confident that they are the same parts (the 2 different SKUs). It seems very clear that you can drop the cam in the 2-way opening, or in the other opening. If you arrange it in the other opening in the same way that you see any other 1-way diff, ie, with the flat of the cam up against the 1° side of the opening, then it would work as a 1-way. It can only spread the ramps when driving forwards - cannot spread the ramps on overrun. It would then appear obvious that if you put the cam into the opening "backwards", that you would get the angled flats of the cam working onto the "points" of the 1° side of the opening, which would give you ramp spread in both loading directions. I do wonder if the forward direction of the 1.5-way config is equivalent to the forward direction of the 2-way, seeing as the cams are flipped and the angled surfaces on those would need to be the same on each side - AND - clearly when installed in either the 2-way or 1-1ay configuration they are not intended to work exactly the same (the ramp angles on the 2-way are 10° different between forward and backward, and the ramp doesn't exist in the 1-way config). 'twere me, I think I would rather actually have a set of rings that offered the 2-way with two different sets of ramp angles, say the 55/45 of the existing design and maybe a 45/37.5 combo for a less aggressive effect), AND another set of rings with a dedicated 1.5-way opening and a dedicated 1-way opening. The 1.5-way opening would actually have the steeper angle on the overdrive side that causes it to be less pushy than the forward drive angle, like you see in many other diffs. But really - if this Nismo thing is thought out properly and all those surfaces work on each other the way that they need to, who am I to argue?
