Not sure what ECU to go for ! Always fancied a good dose of anti lag, so any advice would be much a appricitated. The ECU will be going into a Type R.

Tidgy

you do realise that putting anitlag on will be risking your turbo and posibly your exhaust valves?

U can have Anti-lag as on quite a few aftermarket ECU's either as standard or as an option, e.g. GEMS, Simtek, MOTEC etc

AideRA

Yeh, iam aware that you can have it as an option on a few ECUs just wondering which one is the best, also I know there is a risk to certain parts of the car, but its worth it !!!

I`d personally reccomend the simtek. I`ve had no trouble with it on mine and it certainly seems like its the way forward

Tidgy

its horses for courses, i've gone down the autronics route, but as said theres simtek, motec (although iirc its the higher spec motec units only), does the hydra unit have it?

GazTheHat

Yep. Webbie's got it.

you engine may produce a permanent bang!!
The novelty wore off for me after 2 weeks.
each to their own i suppose fella

There is a new device called a gizmo I think thats the name and that adds anti lag to any ecu

filfy

OMG how can you get board of AL afer only 2 weeks Iv had it now for over a year now and still love it dont have it on that often but its nice to know its there if i fancy having a bit of fun ECU is a GEMS btw.

intresting

Tidgy

other option is to have pops and bangs mapped into the over run, mine posp bangs and spit flames all over, and doesn't run the risk of running anti-lag

on my link plug in ecu i cant have pops and bangs put on due to the ignition not being able to be retarded enough. does anybody know any more about this gizmo?? would be interested at a bit of fun at touch of a button

SimTek is the way forward.

I'm thinking of this route, When do these pops bangs and flame come in?

Coming down through gears and when shifting up i would of thought?

My new Haltech ecu has anti-lag in it and launch control!!

Gems autronics motec and simtek.....

Simtek seems to be the best option so far tho

Tidgy

basicly when you come off the throttle

just had an email from andy f and he reccomends the simtek for my bug. anti lag included.

GazTheHat

And from as little as 2000 RPM.

It is a bit extreme, but i'm going back to have it put back on again. I had it for about 7m, then removed for 3m, now i miss it.

Here comes the noise.

bushiwarrior

what he said

jd5217

only if you use it constantly

Andy.F

With the Simtek you can programme the anti lag to time out after x seconds or in the event of sensing high intake temperatures.
Most applications are mapped for overrun pops/bangs/flames and machine gun type noises that can be switched on or off.
Positive boost on overrun like the WRC cars use would need a very expensive turbo and headers to run full anti-lag on an aggressive setting.

Bob Rawle

Its also not road legal, that said any of the above mentioned ecu's will meet the requirement, Simtek is as good at it as any, thats not the reason I'd choose one though. Its just good at what it does mapped up correctly in any car.
