Antilag for drifting?

A few types.

Throttle bypass via a valve or valves.
Throttle kicker (or on some GrpN cars throttle held open on a stop permanently- Not as bad as it sounds!).
Directly in to the exhaust manifold.
Or no bypass at all (ie bullshit and makes the sound and no noise, ie most based road cars with 'anti-lag'.

Basically, regardless of type, the bigger the bypass the better it works, and no fancy electronics or anything else will help, it's all about the amount of air, that's always the limiting factor.
 
I was reading an article on anti lag years ago im fast/performance ford, they said in the article that where anti lag turns the turbo into a combustion chamber with the late detination of the fuel normal turbos can't cope with the heat? I seem to remember some reference to 'maram' shafts? Something like that? What's the deal? Truth?
 
Maram shaft (and therefore turbine wheel too), ie made of Mar M247, is a lot tougher.

But to be fair, it's not as bad as people used to think.

And in drifting the anti-lag will be only functional for a very short amount of time as you're hardly off the throttle.

In rallying you're off the throttle a lot more and stages are a LOT longer, so more stress.

That being said, a lot of rally cars running anti-lag don't have fancy shafted turbos either.
 
Here a pro drift car with anti-lag. A friend of mine owns it, it was his first race with this car and finished second. Its a 13.4 200sx with 2jz.
 
But how will a ALS turbo engine do when you only apply wery Little throttle like Tyler does around 0.40 min. in the video. do you still have great respons when feathering the throttle or is it more like a no power-full power thing. i dont know because i have never driven a car with ALS but my ECU can handle it so I was thinking about trying it out.

With ALS that actually works rather than just makes then noises (IMO most away from race/rally cars just make the noises) then yes, as I said, feels like a 8ltr V8 than a 2ltr turbo, fuck off far too fast even at light throttle. This is why a lot of rally cars have it on an adjustable dial as it gives too much sudden throttle response for slippery conditions when working it's best,
On mine it was activated and deactivated above 2% throttle position.

Cool.
Do you have any onboard video of your car, just to get an idea of how it is to drive with?

No, it was so long ago that all I have is 2x 30sec outside clips from a long lost 1hr or so film we made. I'd love to know where the original is but nobody can find it.

I'm having ALS again on my current car in the next month or so, same setup, same engine, so I'll be able to give a more up to date explanation then, and vids lol.
 
You would swear this was new technology? Mulvey/Mike Deane had this back in 2006 even at D1GB like 6+years ago? Lots of people ran it since too . All cars running motec or Omex by TDP

Just put on a proper Garret GTX turbo and be done! Keep it lit!
 
They had it years ago, but was it a proper setup that actually worked rather than just made the noise?

I've seen shitloads of cars over the years with 'anti-lag' but while all made the noise, most didn't even have suitable ALS valves, never mind it actually giving positive boost off throttle.
 
Well it can go here or in the supercharged NA turbo thread... At the end we're talking abouth the same thing, instant response engines for drifiting .
 
I'm pretty sure Marc Landreville has been running one on his VET for the last few years... And doing rather well...





Even though it is not half as loud as most in this tread, seems rather effective..
 
But then Again. Do you really need ALS.

This car is laggy as fuck, but it skids just fine.. exept offcorse it catches fire at the end.::D

But no doubt ALS is freaking cool, but is it just another thing too fail on you due to overcomplicating Things..
