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 ?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
