Mark Butcher Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Hey all, Just installed a G4 into my 2001 WRX Rally Car. Got the antilag and cyclic idle running but the anti-lag seems a bit aggresive and also seems to hold the revs up high. What do I need to adjust to make it a little less aggresive and why is it holding revs? Previous cars I have had - on back of the antilag kicks in and the revs drop back to about 2000rpm... with a few bangs only on the way down. This one bangs quickly and deosnt seem to drop.

Phil Williams Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Hi Mark, What do you mean by too aggressive? Too much boost? If you want to remove some of the aggression, decrease the amount of air being bled into the engine. Based on this you will need to adjust the amount of ignition retard and cut to get the anti-lag to stabilize the RPM around 2000. If you want to make the same/more boost but have the RPM settling lower, increase the ignition retard and cut - but be careful as extra retard will generate more heat in the exhaust potentially damaging something. Also check the anti-lag timeout is set correctly (typically around 3 seconds). Hope this is a starting point. Cheers, Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Butcher Posted August 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Hi Phil, Thanks for that. I will play with that a bit and see how I go. The other issue is during normal driving - the car seems to buck and carry on a bit - due to the cylic idle. What settings can I trim to get this to maybe be a little less jerky? Thanks again for your prompt response! Regards Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Williams Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Hi Mark, Your pretty much stuck with the buck in low gears. Does your class allow an ECU controlled air bleed valve? If so this would eliminate the need for cyclic idle all together. Cheers, Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Butcher Posted August 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Hi Phil, The rules dont allow for the air bleed valve. We have had a melted piston today - not sure the cause of it - possibly the anti-lag - as it seemed to happen once we turned this on. Do you have a sample settings for the anit-lag? I used what the manual suggested - but it seems this is a lot of retard compared to what people have mentioned.

Phil Williams Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Hi Mark, Example numbers depend on the application. Basically you want to run as little retard as you can to achieve the desired 'anti-lag' effect. Start with little retard and increase this as necessary. Your best bet would be to talk to a tuning shop with experience in setting up this type of rally car. Regards, Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryn Green Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Hey sorry to hijack ya thread but this does seem related, does anyone know where i can get a ecu controlled air bleed valve from that will bypass the air for antilag? is there something made aftermarket somewhere or a part off a common vehicle i could make work? thanks alot Darryn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgen Biggelaar Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Hi Darryn. With E-Throttle it's just a setting so that is easy if you have one (and an ECU/Module that will enable this control). Another way is to use a throttle stop screw to hold the throttle plate open, but this is a permanent high idle feature you will have to deal with on your daily drive (not recommended to run AL on your daily though). Or use a solenoid as you suggest. Link sells their 'ISS' (Idle Speed Solenoid), but that won't really cut it on most applications to bleed enough air for AL. I have seen on one car 2 of them which did bleed enough however. That was on an FJ20 with approximately 500RWHP... But this really is a half measure and I don't recommend it. I am sure if you visit some automation/Process industries you may find a 12v solenoid designed for some machine you may be able to hack up and make fit Jurgen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryn Green Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Hi Jurgen, thanks for your reply, the rallycar im using it on doesnt have E throttle tho maybe it could be an option to retro fit one with a bit of kiwi know how! i like to run the antilag pretty agressive so ill need a reasonable solenoid, iv currently got the throttle held open all the time but its a bit of a pig to drive on the road so im keen to find a solenoid that will work, keep up the good work!

Jurgen Biggelaar Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Thanks Darryn. One idea could be to use a solenoid or vacuum type actuator controlled by a solenoid attached to either the throttle or throttle cable mechanism, or even the throttle stop screw. Flick a switch, *poink* - Opens up your throttle plate. Good luck! Jurgen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the rest parameters I m familiar with, but I did´nt know how to keep the Throttle opened during this AL ON status... Will it work? any comment to help me?RegardsAlex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Hi Alex,When the digital input channel is active Anti-lag will be armed, but if the lockout conditions for RPM and TP% are not met the ECU will be using e-throttle table 1. If you want the ECU to switch to E-throttle table 2 when the Anti-lag system is armed you will need to set the E-throttle 'Table2 Activation' to DI 10. How you want to use the system may depend a little on how long your AL Deactivation Timeout is.Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denmark Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 Im trying to get Als working on a subaru with E-throttle , but i Cant find anywere i Can get a table 2 so i Can get it working , anyone Can let my know how to activate table 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 Since this post is 10 years old and possibly not relevant to you, can you give us some information about your ECU and what you want to do, maybe attach a copy of your tune also.

Cheers Mark @Adamw Sorry to dig this thread but I just found I have pretty much the same ALS effect as this guy had. When ALS active with throttle lift, boost has been built, but the rev stuck and doesn't drop down unless you have to take a hard brake on to un-activate ALS. There are no big bangs on the way down, it has sound like stable launch control active. I have tried to make change on retard between -10 and -30, same effect. Is there anything wrong on this tune?

For the ALS may 50% cut is not enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
