Talk:Antilag system

untitled
I'm, sorry, but this page does not really explain what a anti lag system actually is?

Its rather confusing...anyone feel like fixing it up, I have no knowledge on the topic myself.121.44.45.105 08:56, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Anti-lag is purely a software thing, the hardware required is only a big idle control valve, so in effect the STi and the EVO are NOT equippped with anti lag. And misfiring system is a very inaccurate name, this isn't a misfire, this is just moving part of the combustion into the exhaust manifold. --Baldur 20:57, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Misfiring system now redirects here, that article didn't get a single aspect of the system right anyway.

error
I believe there to be an error in the 3rd from the last sentence. It mentions compressor surge as being a previously limiting factor in a turbo's abilities. If i am not mistaken, ALS will not make up for surge problems, which usually do not exist at low RPM anyway. Other than that, this article was very informative. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.168.129.3 (talk) 23:09, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Surge is primarily a problem at lower engine speeds. It's a phenomenon with centrifugal compressors when when the flow is not high enough to sustain the pressure it's operating at. Many modern turbocharger designs have an air bleed between the inducer and the compressor on the compressor side to increase stability at low air flows. --Baldur (talk) 15:45, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Another name for some of the ALS used in rallying is "Bang Bang" referring to the noise produced and "5 stroke cycle" referring to the unburnt fuel passing through the manifold in the extraction process. There is also no mention of the ALS system used in the early Renault rally cars. They thought it was best to have an external fuel injector operating in the exhaust manifold feeding fresh fuel into the path of the hot exhaust gases. When the fuel and gases mixed, they would combust and spin the turbo up during gearchanges and limited throttle applications. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.195.176.12 (talk) 22:13, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Article name
I'm curious, but shouldn't this article be moved to Antilag system, without capitalization and the hyphen? &mdash;Mr. Grim Reaper at 16:48, 4 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I have moved the article to the new title. Any discussion can go on here. &mdash;Mr. Grim Reaper at 02:32, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

'usage' section
is it noisy or is it quiet? there seems to be some conflict here —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.110.84.89 (talk) 23:41, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

This car uses a unique antilag system described, for example, here: https://jalopnik.com/the-new-koenigsegg-jesko-gets-a-kind-of-anti-lag-along-1833061455 208.38.228.55 (talk) 20:01, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
