I was under the impression that with specialist ECUs the AL could be made to be "mild" and although not good for turbo life, won't kill it instantly? Especially if you could turn it on and off. Just use it now and again?

Lot of money to get pops and bangs etc but I want it too

edit - would you also need a DCCD box in order to get a scoob to drift like that?

GazTheHat

Not interested in the drifting, i just want the noise!!

Has anyone gave an indication in previous threads to turbo life? (Road car)

Sum1 said that they werent impressed with the driving! No way!

Heres another of the same guy, this is my favourite scoob video.

Turn up ur speakers!!!

Autronics Ecu mapped by Zen. Mine has Anti Lag and has for a Year now with no ill effects.

He is pretty good but a long way off rally driving standard, he loses it quite a few times on both videos and his driving style seems a bit snatchy and not smooth if you know what i mean. He is certainly better than anything i could come up with , in saying that i havn`t done any track days or much off road stuff so i guess its just practice. It sounds a sweet scooby though.

GazTheHat

What was the price?
What turbo & mileage/usage?

fatmanscooby

Cant remember price 1400 ish i think. Turbo is a standard Version 6 Type R one. Mileage 45000 usage if its Sunny It does get used in the Summer on a serious note and the Anti Lag does get used mostly for fun.

I just sold my Evo wich had Autronic anti-lag, was fantastic fun, great pops & bangs flames etc..

RB5_245

I've had anti-lag on my car for must be at least 10k miles, (3 years )

No problems so far with a TD05 20G, but it's quite mild but i only really use it in tunnels and my favorite back roads

EddScott

Probably more likely a TD will cope with AL better than a VF? Aren't TDs considered more robust?

Thats exactly what I imagined my reasons for wanting AL. Mild map but with the right noises. Also run the TD without a DV and get the rally chirping noise?

GazTheHat

I don't know, is that right? Be good to know...

scoobfan

I knew I'd seen that car somewhere before, I thought the driving was cack then !!

Was that a staged event or just some geezer with suicidal tendency's

Rob

EddScott

I read on here that they cope better if you run without a DV than a VF. so i guess they are stronger.

Only thing is I dont want a TD05. I want a smaller quicker spooling turbo ie VF28/29/??35??

scoobfan

Why not a hybrid TD04 ????

Rob

EddScott

Aren't 04Hybrid's very expensive compared to 05 of VF35?

Not chasing figures, just 3-330 with similar torque but with all the "proper" noises

Pete

I think you can get anti-lag via Ecutek aswell, doesn`t have to be Autronic/ Motec etc.....

scoobytyson

Are you the same Staffi who had the red makkinen?

EddScott

Anyone got more info on this? If true, will it work on 99/00 ECUTEK'd cars?

Gav

I've got launch control mapped into my Ecutek @ 4500 rpm

Going in for another re-map next week so if you can put a slight anti-lag on which you can switch off i would be very tempted!

360 bhp with twin scroll and anti-lag

Couldn't the pops and bangs of Anti-lag be simulated by leaving the injectors on during overrun and retarding ignition loads?

Anders

GazTheHat

Where have you read/heard this?

I asked my mapper on each session, but got the "No" answer.

GazTheHat

I have it too, set @ 5000rpm.

Have you used it yet? I haven't tried it

GazTheHat

Can a techie say if this is possible and the negative sides.

Bore wash?

I'd be down for another remap tomorrow if it was available without any major side-effects.

EddScott

Doubt any of the above can be had without side effects.

So thats 2K on the GEMS, 2K on DCCD (be rude not to IMO) and 2K for the engine mods to make it worthwhile.

Best start saving then

GazTheHat

I'd like to know from someone in the know though, to see if it is worth it. I like you have always wanted it. Just trying to find the best price/safest way to get it.

Especially as i already have a Ecutek license.

scoobfan

No, give Andy Forrest a call.

Rob

RB5_245

It wouldn't be switchable then so would always be like that. Expect short plug life, bore wash, soot deposits on turbine wheel and exhaust valves building up from extended operation.

Plus the likes of GEMS will give you a noticable vacuum reduction when used, purposely messing up combustion won't do anything positive but make noise. Just another version of an electronic dump valve on an N/A car really.
