Auto Brake Torquing + 2 step? + anti-lag?

[mini zilo]

If have heard rumors of people using a 2 step or even Anti-lag on there automatics while they are brake torquing to launch. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about this and if it does anything or not? Thanks

Yeah, you just got to throttle it while you're braking the car so the car will stay in place for launch. However I wouldn't recommend it. It stresses out the axles and your transmission and I wouldn't say it anti-lag if you mean turbo lag. As soon as you release from the brakes but keep on throttling it will go back down to 0 rpms while your car gets moving.

Have you used a 2 step or anti-lag on an auto launch? Like, if I want to stall at 3500 rpms, if I set a 2 step there, would it hold it for me? Would it help any?What about anti-lag?

I tried it with I had an automatic car awhile back. You just got to brake harder the more rpms you want to go. However as I said before I wouldn't recommend it. It stresses out the axles and the transmission and it won't initiate a non turbo lag. It goes back down from whatever you have it to while idling when your car starts rolling.

When he says anti-lag, I believe he is talking about something you can do with DSMlink.

I don't know about launching an auto, but I'm sure one of the guys that has an auto with DSMlink will chime in here.

Do you have DSMlink? If not, how do you plan on doing this?

If you have DSMlink you can check out this thread on the forums.

You don't need a 2 step with an auto. Manuals need the two step because there isn't a load on the engine to build boost while brake torquing. When an auto steps on the brake and then the gas pedal the load will cause the turbo to spool.

Timing is also a big part of an auto's ability to spool, the opposite works for manuals. Timing will make torque which is needed while brake torquing your auto.

As for the anti lag, if you can't build enough boost with an auto on a regular tune and high timing then you need a looser converter.

IMO, those two things you mentioned are notorious ways for Manuals to 60ft on big turbos.

I don't agree with the opinions presented above and use a 2-step and anti-lag to launch my car. My explanation and methodology are here:

I disagree as well. I use a 2-step on my stock block/head/tranny and set it at 3500 and launch with 22psi and got a 12.3 @ 109.79. I like the 2-step because it holds me in one spot and I have yet to false start because I've rolled through it...
