That IS antilag.

I'm no engineer but I believe the basic idea is too keep the turbo spooled to the gills even off boost.

I'm not an engineer either, but it is retarding the ignition event so much that combustion happens in the exhaust manifold therefore building boost.

Like Hennytime mentioned, what we saw the Evo do is called a two step. Hold the clutch in. Hold the gas in. Let your tune determine where the RPM's hold. From the factory the ECU's rev ceiling is 5K RPM's IIRC. The sky's the limit once you reflash the ECU.
no.

It's also highly unlikely the car has a 60 trim turbo since the Evo's 4G63 motor requires a reverse scroll setup and I've never heard of one. He's probably running a 50 trim. IMHO it's probably the best turbo for the Evo if you intend only to use pump gas. It's also really unlikely that his car actually put down 500whp. Best I've seen with a 50 trim was a stroked 2.3L Evo VIII putting down 496whp. The best thing about the 50 trim isn't the peak power though. It's the torque. You'll make peak power at around 7K RPM's but you'll make peak torque around 4K RPM's. My point is that he's most likely putting down about 400whp/415wtq on a Dynojet...give or take 15whp/20wtq. It's still a strong car but you'll need to go bigger than a 50 trim to see 500whp on an Evo. True story.

wrong, that evo doesn't have a 50 trim, or a 60 trim.. lol It's a garrett based dual ball bearing turbo and it makes well more than 500whp.

So, false story.

And I told you that you were wrong. HennyTime thought it was a 60 trim, I corrected him the same time I corrected you, sweetheart.

Obviously it's easy to confuse the names so I didn't see the need to lay into the OP who's just trying to relay the info. You say it's a garrett based dual ball bearing turbo. OK. Which one...3071, 3076, etc?

If the owner of the Evo wanted to divulge that information then he would have told me to post that, instead he would like to remain anonymous along with the details of his setup.

I was just pointing out the error Copernicus...in a personable way. They're making BB 50 trims nowadays for the Evo too BTW.

Great

You win on the anti-lag.

I know.

Sounds like you know more about the Evo in that video than all of us. Sure sounded like a 2-step to me though.

And yes...you can set the 2-step to hold whatever RPM you prefer...6800, 7300, 4800, etc. Ask me how I know.

I didn't say you couldn't. By saying "no." I was merely stating that you were off base in what you were saying as this car in particular is using anti-lag.

Your turn.

Anti-lag (if in fact you're using the term correctly and not confusing it with a 2-step like 95% of the Evo community) is pretty rare and pretty expensive. It also requires an aftermarket standalone. I came to my conclusions based on 10 seconds of video and 5 years of working on DSM's. What kind of fuel is he running?
