Haltech Anti-Lag Launch and Rally

A few queries regarding both, but keep in mind this is just for shits and giggles, will not be used in compeition etc is simply just for laughs/noise. 

Platinum pro on an 34R with -9s etc. 

How harsh is the launch function if I'm only using it for a few seconds here and there, say when pulling up at a mates place to be a goose and not actually launching. Is it less harsh if dropping the rpm or TPS limits or using fuel or ignition cut or is it just all having the same negative impact on gaskets, manifolds, and turbos/temp?

Regarding the Rally setting, similar questions is there a "nicer" value for fuel enrichment and timing retard? As this is not needed for genuine performance and only for driving enjoyment/noise/giggles. Does it still work without a throttle kicker/manually adjusted throttle plate to allow for extra air coming in? Given the time between WOT gear changes (say on an on ramp between 2nd and 3rd, is there going to be an impact anyway? 

Appreciate the input from people who have actively played with both settings. 

Cheers

Have used the launch function on my adaptronic probably about 30 times, no damage that I know of has occurred, yet (stock rb25 around 300rwkw). If used sparingly with cool downs before attempts to launch the risks are reduced. Cant comment on the settings for haltech or the rally style anti lag.

Had a play with this last night, was funny. 

 Anti Lag Launch is hilarious (didn't actually launch just got it on the 2 step and let it bang bang and spool for giggles). Anti Lag Rally is interesting, you need to drive a certain way to make use of it, but is hilarious to have a WOT blast up towards a corner, lift off, go to shift down and have it bang bang between the shifts and trailing throttle, many giggles had. 

You need to think about it in advance though as the first pull arms it then you have to dip below a threshold for it to fire, I can see this working well on the track. 

I didn't notice anything concerning about EGTs during this testing, but I wasn't using it heavily. 

Launch that's reliant on ignition retard and extra fuel is much easier on the oil pump drive. 2 step (ignition cut limiter) for launch will break your oil pump drive gear eventually.

If you want it to sound tough (not sure if the ecu has it) you can setup cyclic idle, though it's much easier with an electronic throttle as it requires the throttle to be permanently partiality open, will sound like the car has a cammed v8 at idle and helps a lot with cooling the exhaust/turbos down when using antilag.

Yeah it has rotational idle, which as you said requires a throttle adjustment to work. 

It's getting cammed soon anyway so will have a nicer idle as a result. 

Oddly I can select what type of anti lag i want for the rally setting (fuel or ignition, i have ignition set) but not for the launch setting. 

You'd have to think it's an ignition cut also though. 

Only got one clip of anti lag and no flames in this one, boys told me they're very obvious when it does it though​, will get a night clip for extra rice points.

 

ALS rally would work well on the track, for cruising at 7/10ths it's actually more intrusive as it cuts your ability to add your own throttle while it's firing.

 

I played with the duration and engagement points and got it running well, but is most effective when pushing harder.

 

Exhaust temps reached 740 peak during the most spirited part of the drive.

 

 

I wasn't actually launching, just rerevving it up for the noise and a laugh.

Having another conversation at the moment which suggests that the real potential issue is the oil pump.

So while this was fun, I'm not looking for a rebuild any time soon :)

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
