Been thinking about this option also with my next map tweak. Sure i read somewhere that there are little or no gains to be had on a road car though ? Is there any damage that be caused with having it fitted ?

Your engine will blow up if used all the time. I have it mapped on my type R through a Simtek but it is simply for show.

Tidgy

Yep, road antilag is just noise, it does also damage the car if used to much.

bit of a tweek to the over run wont damage and gets a nice pop and bang.

Iv got it used it a few times but it's just a toy no need on the road & it can kill your turbo.

Tidgy

hehe, yeah mines the same, subtle it is not,,, lol

I like it alot wish it was a bit more aggressive though, or had a pop between gear changes.

Yeah I know it's only a toy but would like the choice if using it. I got told that it gets set up mild so there in no internal damage

Tidgy

thats rubbish mate, all road going anti lag is mild, yet will damage.

overun is way to go, mine does pop and bang between gear changes as well

craigo

Ahhhhh im sure the mapper said this was possible. Thanks for the heads up

Tidgy

yeah, i think its a direct result of how much fuel gets added to the overun, and i do get single figure mpg when haivng fun,,,,,, lol

craigo

iTrader: (1)

All the fun of the fair, but more expensive

Tidgy

lol, yeah tell me about it.

although in fairness i don't think you buy a scoob expecting 50mpg

Good to hear this boys as I will be fitting a fmic and getting mapped soon myself… do I just ask the mapper then? (Sorry to jump in Craigo!)

Also, I know it is chavy, and I know it is sad, and I know you look like a lunatic … but…. My flamer kit (yes I said it) when left on but not driven hard lets off the most almighty BOOMS every now and again when it builds up enough in the pipe… it is unbelievable, you can feel it in the small of your back… just saying!!!

Tidgy

yeah just speak to the mapper about it, if they knwo what there doing they will knwo what you mean.

Not got anti lag, but just wondered if you lived near southwell road? There's a silver STi a few doors up from my mate who's just got a blue Blob WRX.

Funny how everyone says it "Destroys your car" yet we actually hear very few, if any who have had engine failure because of anti lag.

If used moderately its fine, like most things. Obviously if you drive round with it on 24/7 its going to cause some damage.

Tidgy

because those that have it tend not to admit the real fault of the failure lol

Scooby B

iTrader: (2)

Maybe lol

But I do believe if its used "sensibly" no damage is caused

The cylinder heads that are on my car had been previously fitted to a car fitted with anti lag and all the valve seats were heavily pitted and one valve had failed! That's enough to put me off and I've also seen turbos damaged by anti lag.

Only issue any customer has let me know about has been repeated header leaks (blows uppipe gasket on after market headers) and that was set up very agressively and he uses it alot.

To be fair that damage coukd have been cause by numerous things

Can anti lag be setup on ecutek or is it only standalone ecus such as simtec, apexi etc

yeah mate, some lass wrote his Lexus off. took him out in mine and next thing i knew he went and bought one lol

Nice STi mate

i always thought it destroyed ur headers rather than turbo, i guess its not out the question, but cracked headers was reason i never got it done
