When the driver lifts his foot from the gas pedal the ignition timing is altered with sometimes 40° or more of delay (retard) and the intake air and fuel supply mixture is made richer. The inlet butterfly is kept slightly open or an air injector is used to maintain air supply to the engine. This results in air/fuel mixture that keeps getting in the combustion chambers when the driver no longer accelerates. The ignition being delayed, the air/fuel mixture reaches the exhaust tubes mostly unburned. When the spark plug fires, the exhaust valve is starting to open due to the ignition delay mentioned above. Additionally, the exhaust temperature being extremely high, the unburned fuel explodes at the contact of the exhaust tubes. Luckily the turbo sits right there and the explosion keeps it turning (otherwise it would slow down since its intake, the exhaust gases, is cut-off). The effect is vastly lower response times with some downsides

agreed Sly, sounds like he misses a gear and hits the limiter

sounds awesome

Jimbo you sausage

Rather than cutting and pasting a badly translated page which will no doubt confuse the poor chap even more, why didn't you just explain what anti-lag does?

The basic principle of an ALS is to keep the car's turbo/s spinning under closed throttle conditions.

The technology was born out of rallying force induced cars, and is used to maintain power in a linear fashion similar to that of an aspirated engine, so as to keep momentum through bends and between gear changes in order to prevent the car from becoming unsettled, and to improve stage times.

To my knowledge, there are two ways of producing the effect.

They are quite complicated but I will try to simplify.

As far as I know, WRC cars have an additional ECU that controls a fuel supply to the turbo itself, the resultant combustion in the turbo keeps it spinning when the throttle is closed.

There are also aftermarket systems fitted to some road cars that implement a form of ALS by retarding the ignition under closed throttle conditions, to such an extent (as much as 30 degrees) that the fuel/air mixture in the combustion chambers is actually ignited with the exhaust valves still open.

A throttle by-pass valve that is controlled by a throttle postion sensor allows air into the engine simultaneously, and the resultant combustion in the exhaust manifold supplies the turbo/s with enough pressure to keep it/them spinning.

Hope that made some sense.
