The factory Mitsubishi Evolution uses actual hardware that is connected to the exhaust manifold, which includes a air pump. This is the "hardware" we reffer to when we speak of the factory anti-lag system.




If you look close, you can see the lines that run just under the valve cover along the head.....they bolt down into the exhaust manifold.

no, no, no, i understand how an als works, i worked for two different rally teams, i know of using DV air as your means of o2 for the mixture. i was asking how an actual air pump is used. i am picturing something like a secondary air pump but i dont see how that could be fast enough??? unless the "secondary air" is cvonstant.

that was more so a question emphasizing on the PUMP

but thanks for the tutorial well explained :thumbup

It pops and bangs and shoots some nice flames and spools the turbo, but there is no way to keep it going unless you get back on the throttle again, then lift.

I'm still working on it.

Nice dude

is there a way we can use the JDM and UK anti-lag areas of the ROM and maybe migrate those into other ROMs? If so, and we could figure out how to use them.....we could alter ignition timing and fuel completly seperate from the main fuel and ignition tables....this would enable control over injector over-run, and ignition retard...along with on-off settings. That would be a really cool feature to work on if it were possible.

I will pitch the idea if you guys think you would use it. ( i know i would).

Some more 2 read!

How it works, danger and goodies...
Take a look here:

i'm fully aware of what a ALS system is, and it's advantages, and disadvantages..... but this would be a good read for anybody wanting to learn more.

What i am attempting to do is actually very mild. It has the ability to spool the turbo, but is using as little ignition retard as possible. Currently, it's not very effective at all unless we can adapt the factory antilag parameters to a ECU that is running a USDM engine with no ALS hardware.

Thanks for posting that up for them!

Sounds great but I think it might need a low level reprograming of the ECU. May be trying to combine TPS, Accel desenrichment with ignition map to induce retard when throttle is quickly dropped off. I do not think you will be able to do a lot more with stock ECU but it's a very interresting subject. Anyone with stock ECU internal diagram, addresses, specs and algoritms will be very appreciated :-)

The UK and JDM ROMs already have all we need to implement a anti-lag set-up already. The USDM ROMs might have these features already, we might not have found it yet. The only difference is, we would need to alter these parameters to have a software ALS, with no hardware. It's done all the time with standalones and is effective if you can over-run the injectors and retard ignition timing negative 10-15*. Using the JDM and UK roms would allow us to do this, we will just have to be creative on how we can set it up.

Some help from Bez and the guys would be needed though. I'm sure if there was enough interest, they would be willing to help.

I just rescaled the map to the load/rpm scale I changed for the main fuel/timing maps.

I have a strange suspision that these antilag maps are the cause of my low load knock.

did you happen to datalog this anamoly? Do you often log AFRs in the 16's at these same conditions(normal street part throttle drving)? What load column were you hitting when this happend?

Thanks.

Do you often log AFRs in the 16's at these same conditions(normal street part throttle drving)? Honestly, never payed much attention because it's a very small window of conditions that it enters but it caught my eye and I narrowed it down to replicate in 3rd with light throttle and brake

What load column were you hitting when this happend? 60s%

Thanks. Welcome

CJ
I will edit this post with a shot of the log

From emails from "gunzo" it seems that these maps lean out closed loop but the fuel trim eventually reverses the effect. I could understand if it left closed loop and went leaner on prolonged throttle, but why go leaner just for the closed loop control to correct it again. Makes no sense to me yet.

When it makes no sense to us then it probably makes sense to EPA - my guess it's for emissions

It went into the lean mode, jumped out back into stoich and I added a little throttle and it went back into lean mode again

One more thing - why doesn't JDM VIII have an address for adv/ret:

- <table name="Boost Enhancement Adv/Ret Map 1 (Anti-lag)" category="Timing" (no address)type="3D" level="1" swapxy="true" scaling="Timing">
<table name="Load" address="57d6" type="X Axis" elements="19" scaling="Load" />
<table name="RPM" address="57a6" type="Y Axis" elements="20" scaling="RPM" />
</table>
- <table name="Boost Enhancement Adv/Ret Map 2 (Anti-lag)" category="Timing" (no address)type="3D" level="1" swapxy="true" scaling="Timing">
<table name="Load" address="57d6" type="X Axis" elements="19" scaling="Load" />
<table name="RPM" address="57a6" type="Y Axis" elements="20" scaling="RPM" />


Also, BE table is 4000 - 7000 RPM (RPMStatLimit) for the JDM but mine is set to like 500 - 800 RPM (RPMStatLimit)

I'm sure the JDM has antilag plumbing but does it have a different turbo, even head?
