dsmlink antilag

[bmoha2]

I am getting ready to order DSMLink this next week. I'm looking at the options available and have some questions about how they work and how they are used. The first option I was looking at is antilag. I've seen the videos, I've read how it works. My question is how do you use it? I mean to the point of sitting in the car getting ready to launch. Is it always there available to be used if it's programmed into your DSMLink or is it an option that can be turned on and off via laptop? Physically sitting in the car, what do you have to do to use it? Do you just hold the gas pedal down to a certain point and it takes over? I think antilag with the atmospheric dump O2 sensor housing will sound insane! What other option do you guys think I should opt for. This is a AWD that has been built for autocross and drag and is still being used as a daily driver whenever I can. I am also looking into getting the no lift to shift option but again have some questions about what it does and how it's used.

It's an option that you can turn on or off. Only enables when you are at a standstill with the gas pedal depressed to a set amount.

NLTS is also a option that you can turn on and off. It requires some modifying of the wiring for the clutch (very easy). It allows you to program a rev limiter for when your clutch pedal is down so your foot can stay on the gas.

DSMLink's antilag works by retarding the timing on the spark advance and dumping in more fuel into the engine. This results in a burn that takes longer to happen (extra fuel) and starts late in the engine cycle (late timing). This means that the exhaust energy is a LOT more than normal and it causes the turbo to spool up and start spinning.

So it is set in DSMLink to either be activated or not. Not activated it just wont work. Activated then you set parameters. First is the RPM where it starts. This is just that - the rpm where the antilag kicks in. The engine will keep reving though until you hit the rev limiter (something you can adjust). You also set how many degrees AFTER top dead center you want it to go and how much extra fuel gets dumped in. Both of these will vary based on the turbo size and how much you want it to spool up.

Settings in the computer you can't control are that it only kicks in below 5mph and when the gas pedal is pushed in at least 50 percent. IE drag launch conditions.

The last button you will see is the "enable clutch control button". When driving above 20mph, if you do the clutch switch rewire, you can enable this antilag as soon as you push in the clutch. This is supposed to keep spooling the car during shifts (in combination with the no lift to shift system). I don't know how many people use the clutch antilag during shifts though. I do not like it personally. Slows down the engine too much.

I like that it can be turned on and off the no lift to shift looks very useful for lower et times

I love the NLTS and Antilag option. When you get antilag set up properly and get your launch down, word's cannot describe what it feel's like coming out of the hole already in boost. I can pretty much launch on street tire's at 15psi and not spin at all. It'll pin you back in the seat pretty hard. Same with the NLTS. When you get the hang of it, you'll be able to flat shift it without even a hicup.

For the record. You can set your MPH limit to what ever you want for your launch control. So anything from 0mph-what ever you want. It won't deactivate the launch control until you go over that set limit.

Depending on which tires I use, I set mine to either 13mph or 22mph.

How are you guys hooking with antilag on street tires.

I build 13psi on my 5500 rpm 2step if I put my foot to the floor long enough and it will spin some thru first and hurt the 60 ft a little versus me doing half throttle 2step launches...

If I just dump the clutch off my 2 step, I'll roast the tires. I gradually slip the clutch and It'll hook pretty good. It's also has alot to do with your launch rpm and tire pressure. I launch at 5,000 and gradually let the clutch out aggressively but don't side step it. This has resulted in a few 1.6ish 60' time's.

Well yea obviously none of us should be dumping the clutch.
How much boost are you building on your 2step, like I said I get 13psi on it
with my foot to the floor and thats enough to make the tires break traction.
Last time I went to the track I only cut a 1.8 60ft. but this car has seen 1.7 before.

I could use a better suspension though, my kybs are getting soft and the car needs to be a little lower, it dunks in the back, and not to mention I need fresh tires, my tread is getting low on these RS2's, so thats probably the issue right there.
