Here's what's in the FC datalogit manual

E-3-1 Anti lag ☺ (AKA Stutter box, Launch box, Pro start and “Bang bang”) ^

• Spools up your turbo for a quick drag launch o Assuming you will use the standard clutch switch (+ arming switch) ? Cut clutch switch wires

? Connect one wire through an additional (arming) switch from the standard clutch switch to terminal “SW3” on the FC-Box {FC2 FC-Box 4 Switches} Questions? [email protected] 54

FC-Datalogit GTR32/33 DETT User Manual

• The additional switch is used to turn anti lag on and off (arm the system). Mount this within easy reach of your driving position

? Ground the other clutch switch wire

? Check the enable Anti lag Switch (SW3) “check box” to enable Anti lag

? Enter the amount of ignition retard you want in the “IGN Anti lag retard” text box

? Enter the amount of extra fuel you want in the “INJ Anti lag” text box

? Push the “Update” button on FC-Edit

? Turn the ignition key off and then back on

? Arm the system with the additional arming switch

? When the clutch is depressed the FC-Box will retard the ignition and add fuel to the values you have entered in the appropriate text boxes. RPMs will drop so you need to depress the accelerator to compensate. More boost will be created

? When the clutch is released the timing and fuel will return to normal

thaks maximajim,

but i thought "Antilag" which I believe Link ECU's have, is alittle different. I roughly remember reading how bad it is for the turbo life and exhausts.. I think the difference was "AntiLag" is activated straight from idle, where launch control & flat shift are induced by clutch switches, and "maybe - no expert here" are not as harmful as real "AntiLag"?

Say goodbye to your Cat converter and or motor

When you drop spark, raw fuel get's thrown through the exhaust, that pop that you hear when you get back on spark if the fuel igniting in the exhaust.....

When you drop power to your injectors, you drop fuel, big spike of detonation is possible as it leans out.  What if you miss a gear and have to clutch again......

Just a thought.

Yep, but the T-Sport one drops both at the same time. There is still some risk though. I am hoping someone else will give it crack and tell us it's all good :D

Another method of anti-lag hold back the spark until the exhaust stoke to explode through the turbo and out the exhuast. Certainly cat/O2 sensor frying risk there.

The original Anti-lag, ie, Rally bred, actually injected raw fuel into the exhaust housing and also had a spark plug in the exhaust. This kept the turbo spinning, but didn't effect the actual combustion in the engine.

Bj,

that sounds about right, from that thread I read from some US forum. I believe the car in question (need to find that mpeg) was a blue 01/02 WRX from Western Australia running a Link ECU with proper AntiLag (eg: from Idle.. the sounds ballastic). BUT, I don't want to confuse that sort of Anti Lag with Flat shifting, or maybe I'm just confusing myself.. :confused:

surely you could just have a switch on the clutch conected to the resistor pack that is only armed after say 50km/h (or maybe arm it only when the revs go above say 6000)

then it just cuts spark when you hit the clutch (might even works as anti lag with all the fuel flowing out the zorst)

im sure its not good for it but seems very simple to do

dont know why you would want it on a road car though

  • 4 months later...

Ok so out of interest, what real world performace gain is anyone getting out of this??? Because I sware if I nail a gear change I dont loss any boost, dont hear the bov go off car keeps going etc. Say if you were that worried about loosing the boost, dont have a BOV??? Wouldnt that basically do the same thing? Im just thinking out loud atm, so dont flame me, just correct me :(

    • Pay careful attention to the kinematics of that upper arm. The bloody things don't work properly even on a normal stock height R32. Nissan really screwed the pooch on that one. The fixes have included changing the hole locations on the bracket to change the angle of the inner pivot (which was fairly successful but usually makes it impossible to install or remove the arm without unbolting the bracket from the tower, which sucks) and various swivelling upper arm designs. ALL the swivelling upper arm designs that look like a capital I (with serifs) suck. All of them. Some of them are in fact terribly unsafe. Even the best one of them (the old UAS design) shat itself in short order on my car. The only upper arm that works as advertised and is pretty safe is the GKTech one. But it is high maintenance on a street car. I'm guessing that a 600HP car as (stupidly, IMO) low as you are going is not going to be a regular driver. So the maintenance issues on suspension parts are probably not going to be a problem. But you really must make sure that however your fairly drastically modded suspension ends up, that the upper arms swing through an arc that wants to keep the inner and outer bolts parallel. If the outer end travels through an arc that makes that end's bolt want to skew away from parallel with the inner bolt, you will build up enormous binding and compressing forces in the bushes, chew them out and hate life. The suspension compliance can actually be dominated by the bush binding, not the spring rate! It may be the case that even something like the GKTech arm won't work if your suspension kinematics become too weird, courtesy of all the cut and shut going on. Although you at least say there's no binding now, so maybe you're OK. Seeing as you're in the build phase, you could consider using R33/4 type upper arms (either that actual arm, OEM or aftermarket) or any similar wishbone designed to suit your available space, so alleviate the silliness of the R32 design. Then you can locate your inner pivots to provide the correct kinematics (camber gain on compression, etc).
    • The frontend wouldn't go low enough because the coilover was max low and the upper control arm would collapse into itself and potentially bottom out in the strut tower. I made a brace and cut off the kingpin and then moved the upright down 1.25" and welded. i still have to finish but this gives an idea. Now I can have a normal 3.25" of shock travel and things aren't binding. I'm also dropping the lower arm and tie rod 1.25".
    • Motor and body mockup. Wheel fitment and ride height not set. Last pic shows front ride height after modifying the front uprights to make a 1.25" drop spindle.
    • Here's Logans Silvia with R32 Drivetrain, mine will be slightly lower (more angle). He was constantly blowing the RH axles at around 16deg. I want to avoid this.
