What AFR's d'ya get during anti lag?

[jacks-GTB]

That's awesome Michael..

Looks quick on the video...

[dr20t]

Mick have you confirmed that the gamma ti-al turbine wheel of the efr is suitable to true anti-lag?

Egt would be well and truly up there

[satogixxer]

I haven't, I assumed Scott would know but I will check with him. He did testing on the dyno and also has programmed in 20sec of rotational cool down after use so is well aware of the increased temps (you can just see the start of the cool down mode in the video but I cut most if it out).

So following up on this... from what I've been told there aren't really any turbos that are going to withstand frequent use of ALS (depending on the ALS method being utilised) - they will all wear out faster and the risk of failure is increased. Even the turbos used in the WRC cars are susceptible to this, but I guess they wouldn't care because they can afford to replace them frequently!

Obviously I will limit my use of ALS unless I want to kill my turbo quicker.

But I did just find an interesting article on the EFR turbos.
http://www.dragzine.com/tech-stories/po ... echnology/

From reading this at least it sounds like the Gamma-Ti turbine wheel would probably withstand ALS use and higher temps better than most other turbos?

The Gamma-Ti turbine wheels will gain ductility with temperature and they are extremely light. This combination results in a very durable turbine wheel.

And a quote from another article on the Gamma-Ti material.

The material properties of the Gamma-Ti are such that the material is weakest at room temperature but as temps go up the wheel gains strength and becomes more ductile, more stable.

So I'm not too worried now.

Is the turbo rpm sensor in use w/ the ALS?

[satogixxer]

Was wondering that myself Benny after reading that article.

[bigBADbenny]

That the efr has both the speed sensor and the gamma Ti turbine would suggest that ALS is an option
Even better if u can limit it to eg just gear changes for a pop! As opposed to pop-pop-pop lol.
I read the Wikipedia ALS article... Tmi lol but currently researching bypass valves.
It would be cool if the airpump valve/s could be reused to control inlet charge bypass to headers...
I'm already planning to use the airpump for a CCV vacuum pump

So thought it was time I started to try to clean out my garage a bit - I sure have built up a collection of stuff!

This sounds SOOOOO good Michael!

[Gen5is]

[satogixxer]

Wow - always being in the driver's seat I didn't realise how damn good this sounds from the outside!!

Far out I might have rethink plumbing them back...

[bigBADbenny]

There's talk about how big builds and subies don't mix well but this one gives me hope
