i understand the use of anti lag setups in WRC cars as being pretty much just super retarded spark timing under high vac conditions that allows the flame front from the combustion chamber to travel out past the valves and through the turbine, essentially spooling the turbine when you're slowing down. but the shortcomings of doing this are burning valves, destroying turbos, and possibly destroying manifolds in the process. not so good in a street application.
but what about doing this in the same way that an actual turbine engine does it, basically an afterburner for your turbo. somehow inject fuel/air into the exhaust just after the turbine wheel and ignite it (if it's not already hot enough to ignite). the explosion/expansion of the burn would help pull the turbine up to speed, but not have the same nasty effects of a "bang bang" setup. the only shortcoming i can see here is if the ignition in the exhaust somehow began traveling toward the turbine basically doing the opposite of what i'm talking about.does anyone else have any input on some kind of anti-lag setup?
anyhow, this is just a topic for discussion, i don't really plan on trying it, i don't want to start some fly by night venture into making this and selling it, i just like to have good technical discussions. and mods if this needs to be in another forum by all means move it.
