Will pops & bangs have damaging effect to the engine?

Will it be safe to run the engine with pops & bangs???

Thanks

 

James, are you referring to Antilag?

 

Either that or misfiring. What country are you from? I've never heard of pops and bangs used in reference to antilag.

 

in the UK pops and bangs is the term they use for antilag (mild) that takes advantage of the OEM setup that comes on evos, I have it (JDM antilag) but I have yet to find someone to help me tune to work (pop and bang haha)

 

Hi guys,
no im not refering to Antilag as my tuner did tune my car with great pops & bangs...
Im a Chinese from Malaysia and hope you guys still mix around with me...hehehe

So,if with antilag or not will this both harmful to the engine in long run???

 

I guess hes talking about negative timing and loads of fuel

 

If you have an E5, it should have the air injection tubes going into the exhaust manifold. I think the euro guys do something with that to give you pops & bangs.

For everyone wondering- its called pops and bangs over there pretty commonly, all it is is neg timing and fuel... and I WANT IT!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwvYqmrP_BQ

 

Thanks guys,
but ive yet to get info's on whether will it harm the engine for such tune setting (pops & bangs)???

 

over time it can harm the turbo from the unburnt fuel exploding so close to the turbine housing etc.. thats what it does.. it sprays fuel before your turbine housing and uses fire to spool the turbo faster.. can be manipulated with retarding timing massively, but the jdm evos have antilag setup from factory and most guys remove it for more reassurance. i would not use it on a street vehicle.. for a stationary rev limit / stutter box sure, but constant driving? no way.

 

See, now I've read that it will only do harm if mapped too agressivly http://lancerregister.com/showthread...s+bangs+damage
