hi i own an escort cosworth currently running a low comp engine,worked head,greys,hybrid t34 etc.im intrested in upgrading the spec of the engine .i was thinking of adding ALS.what would i need to upgrade to my car to add ALS??i know i need another managment and turbo but is there anything else?also do you know the cost involved?thanks

 

turo need upgrading and a special throttle ...

not sure what else?

special chip?

 

cheers what car you driving?where you from if you dont mind me asking?im from killie.ive heard good good things about MAD i was thinking of getting them to do it?

 

got a saf cossie.

best wait for a few more replys as there are a few people on here who run "proper" anti lag, so see what they say

 

hey
you need a antilag setup on youre engine managment.and you need a extra air valve that goes by the speed throttle .and you should have a special turbo.which is set up for antilag.the shaft that holds the turbine should be made of maram.
i do not know all about it..but i put on a picture of my engine bay.
i also do run a halltech e6k managment system with antilag

 

lowman, get outside and get a video clip of this badboy in action. NOW!!

looks awesome mate!!

 

hehe .thanx cahzz.dont have a video camera mate.
but i hope to get some clips of it this summer.
and by the way..youre esccos looks sweeet as well.

but enough off topic.in respect of the author of the thread

 

Nice, how is that pipe plumbed in? in the second picture? Looks sweet , does it make much difference ALS, good for circuits?

 

hehe, the time Lowman actually has been using his anti-lag probaly can be measured in milli-seconds! If the camera shoots 24 frames a second you MIGHT get one with some action!

 

says the guy that never drives his car

 

its connected on the side of the inlet manifold.drilled a hole..and a hose connection.
als make the car much quicker.you have boost all the time.it keeps the turbo spinning.cause it delays the ignition.and ignites the fuel in the exhaust manifold.
this is roughly described what happens.

 

is it true you see around 10psi boost at idle with als?

 

yes it is.you can adjust that to what ever you want.

 

this is not the usual way of doing it
usually the throttle body is modified and so is the Idle Speed Control Valve (ISCV)..
But whatever the idea is to bypass the fly to allow air to feed the engine when you release the gaz

 

maybe soguess there are many ways of modify to als.but ive seen the same principal on genuine wrc escorts.
doesnt do any good comparing with new wrc cars..or whatever.but..
if you have e photo of the one you are talking about...bring iti wanna have a look

 

I did'nt say it was better or worse but it seems more used to do it this way..
Your engine looks awsome anyway! as far as I can see WRC inlet manifold with 8 Injectors even if only 4 are plugged (not yet or not any more??) Dizzyless + lots a little goods parts and the best cam cover color at all (I've got a T34 Escos)

here are the parts:

Modifed ISCV


and the TB




the idea here is to join the two idle ducts to only one the allow more flow

 

hm.havent seen that version before.
yeah there are only four injectors connected.but they are big ones.cant remember the exact cc...but i recall they are 740cc.black siemens injectors.

 

what matter is really how it feels on the car and how reliable it is, (mayby cost may be considered) after that who care!

 

is that a cosworth throttle body then?

 

yes the one on the pics seems to be a 2WD but it seems to be the same job for any of them

 

okei.thanx

 

how much dose it cose to have the antilagg put on iwas thinks of the mild road vertion???any info on this pls all sound good but is it worth it??

 

Sorry to crash this topic but always had a doubt about ALS and now that you're talking about it if you don't mind me asking:

Does it afect reliability or not?
If so, a lot or not much...

Thanks...

 

As long as you have the correct uprated turbo etc, then no. I have had ALS on my car with no problems for 30,000 miles.

 

Thanks Mike...

 

have fitted it to my cos know and its running off a P8 and ican get the fuel pupe to run any ideas
