Its our Ghetto Fountain it cost alot.Thats all it does

 

 

Actually unless your info is very recent, I believe it is a twin-turbo viper that holds the 6-speed record and last I heard they were swapping in an auto to go after the record irs car which is a Supra. Why would an irs 6spd supra be harder to drag race than an irs 6spd cobra?

And who cares about yankin the tires. Most irs Cobras running 9's don't pull the tires. If you're on slicks and your rear can take it, fuck a two-step, set it on the box and let it rip or just rev it to where you want to leave. And a two-step doesn't build boost, a trans-brake does. I keep hearing anti-lag as if its some magic technique or some kind of gismo. If you are referring to race car guys saying that it usually has to do with better turbo design and better flowing engines is the reason big race cars hit full boost very quickly.

 

A 2 step does build boost, come sit in my car and watch the boost gauge.. at 3,500 rpm with a 2-step/launch control, whatever you want to call it, I build about 2-3 psi..

Yea I know what you are going to say next, 2-3 psi is nothin, it helps, but the best part is I'm at full boost practically immediately after I take off.. atleast this is in my situation/setup..

Anti-lag is a gismo I guess you could say... it requires air-lines/valves etc.. its most popular in rally cars in off throttle situations (the bang/pop noise you hear, this is anti-lag working).. it is also usefull in launching.

Yeah, Ryan Woon's 6-speed took that 8.75 TT Viper out about 2 months ago with a 8.62. Drive a Supra on the track and then you will see. I don't know, I have never driven one, but when you have a bunch of big drag racers writing these things, you kind of have to believe them.

I don't see how setting it on the box will take you were you want? A 2-step is set at a certain RPM to have your boost built and ready to go at a certain place where you want.

 

I would think 2-3 PSI would def. help! I don't know how much boost you are running but I assume no more than 8 PSI or so. I have a video of a Supra running 25 PSI and he only builds 7 PSI, and you can tell it helps him! I never could build boost in my RX-7, I really wish I had put some sort on control on mine. The FD auto's leave the line like dogs.

 

100% correct. Two step set at 5800=11psi for me.

You can do the same thing with tuning if you want since all the 2 step does is cut spark to various cylinders and the unburned fuel is what spools the turbo when theres no load. Fatten up the tune or pull the timing way back for the launch and tah dahhh...boost comes up before you launch. If your engine management allows it just wire in a momentary button to actuate another set of fuel maps to richen it or timing maps to retard the timing.

I took the 2 step off my truck since I dont like the sound a V6 makes while its up against the box and once I got things sorted out I can build more boost than the brakes can hold (automatic trans) anyways. Besides a V6 exhaust note sounds bad enough as it is without something like a two step making it worse .

silvcobra,

Your car still has a blower on it and you havent converted to a turbo correct? If so comparing a blower to a turbo is apples and oranges. A blower will make boost with no load very easily while a turbo motor will make very little if any unless you start loading the motor down with the weight of the vehicle (ie give the motor something to strain against) or get unburned fuel into the turbine side so it can light off. Turbos require heat as well as the flow of exhaust gasses to spin it where as a blower is ran off the crank (usually) which means the harder you twist the motor the faster the blower spins producing more air flow (ie boost).

Not being an ass here just pointing out that its not a matter of "just rev it to where you want to leave" on a turbo vehicle.


The alf picture is just freakin nasty.

 

Only like 7 psi hehe..

cool video of anti-lag, I can't find one of a car launching with it though..

Anti-lag does wonders for the longevity of a turbo..

 

oh yes, doubles its expected life!
