    The anti lag system, changes the ignition timing that split second you let off of the gas. It ignites the fuel in the exhaust which forces the exhaust turbine on the turbo to maintain it's speed.

    • @asjadsiddiqui7409
      @asjadsiddiqui7409 2 года назад +9

      So basically ignition timing is delayed when you release your foot off the gas pedal, so explosions are occurring in the exhaust pipe, and these explosions help boost power to the turbine of the turbo, and this way even when you let go of the gas you're still increasing power by letting the turbo take in more air?

    • @ironduke6100
      @ironduke6100 2 года назад +21

      @@asjadsiddiqui7409 almost completely correct; it won't increase power because the throttle plate is closed with your foot off the gas, but it prevents the turbo from slowing down, so after you put the pedal down again the turbo is still spinning at high rpm and you instantly have boost again without having to wait for it to spool up

      The condition is most pronounced with extremes of air-fuel mixture, so the air/fuel mixture being "rich af" or "lean af" is a quite accurate description.

    Yes, this is overlapping of the valves. Of course, it is possible for some fuel to leak to the exhaust, assuming it is not a direct injection engine which waits to spray the fuel until the exhaust valve has closed.

    Interesting explanation on the back/after-fire in cars. I've heard a few high performance and race engines after-fire when starting. It usually happens just before the engine turns over, and the starter cranking sounds really slow. I always wondered what caused that, but now I'm guessing it's a combination of high compression and a rich mixture, but I could be wrong. Is this the case? I've seen a few videos of musclecars that do it and some race cars (NASCAR style?) that do it.

    The throttle closes, preventing air from coming in, but the injectors still inject a certain amount of fuel in the cylinders for a couple revs. This extra fuel doesn't have air to burn with, so it burns on it's way out the exhaust when it comes into contact with oxygen. My apologies, I was assuming you already knew do to some other comments you made on another video - though I may be mistaking you for someone else.

    On motorcycles, the main cause of (internal) exhaust ignition is a badly seated (leaking) head to header seal. Fresh air gets drawn into that leak and any unburnt fuel mixes with that and causes a very lean air/fuel ratio which is ignited by the next exhaust stroke. This typically happens on over-run, on highly stressed engines.

      on the turbo 3.0 liters it's programmed into the engine management system as a 'Turbo Anti-lag' feature. Some continued ignition in the exhaust system helps to keep the turbo's Turbine Impeller, which is situated in the engine's exhaust stream, spinning faster. This way, when you reopen the the throttle the turbo is spinning at a much higher rpm and ready to drive the Turbo's Compressor or Intake Turbine more effectively.

    Normally the afterfire occurs after a hard acceleration or period of high engine demand. On performance cars, there can be a lag in the reset of the AF mixture so it tends to be a bit rich. He covered what happens when a hot rich air mixture comes in contact with oxygen. There's a lot of factors involved to get that little crackle in the exhaust we all love.

      Normally pretty simple, you're over revving your valve springs to the point they dont close fully by the time the came rotates back round to open it again, and bounce is a spring I believe too soft which cant keep it shut so when it does close the force of it closing causes it to 'bounce' open again.

      Although you think that the engine isn't getting any fuel or air when you completely take your foot of the accelerator, the engine management software still adds some fuel, and leaves open the throttle body a little bit even though you think the throttle was closed completely. Then the engine management system also retards (slows in time) the ignition so it occurs in such a way that ignition hasn't been fully completed before the exhaust valve is opened (more or less). This way on a closed throttle there is some amount of unburnt air/fuel mixture that ignites within the exhaust manifold to help keep the Turbo's Exhaust Impeller Spinning at a higher RPM - hence less lag when you go back onto the throttle - pretty slick, right ?

    Engineering Explained, I have a question I have wondered for years now. I know many cars and more commonly motorcycles, use secondary air injection to reduce exhaust emissions witch can cause popping on deceleration. But, on fuel injected engines, wouldn't deceleration fuel cutoff (DFCO) prevent ANY unburned fuel from being in the exhaust in the first place? My 1999 mustang v6 automatic always lightly popped out the exhaust when decelerating, how is this happening if the fuel is supposed to be cut off on deceleration?

    Jason, “Engineering Explained”… I have another explanation for the "Lean Mixture After-Fire", and though this is from real world wide band O2 data logging, while tuning on Motorcycles and ATVs (a 4-Stroke combustion engine is pretty universal): I have noticed that when the engine is up to operating temp, and tuned properly “for performance”, the engine especially when you roll off the throttle or close the throttle plates at higher than idle RPM, the mixture goes so far on the lean side of stoichiometric, that the spark plug doesn’t ignite it and when you have 2-3-4 “Cycles” that get dumped into the head-pipe it now has enough fuel (and oxygen because it didn’t get burnt/ignited in cylinder, PLUS many of these engines have secondary air injection systems) that it hits the hot carbon now ignites the fuel/air mixture sending out the well-known BANG-POP-CACKLE we are so familiar with, most commonly with low restriction exhaust systems. (DFCO “Deceleration Fuel Cut Off” on EFI equipped cars and some bikes is mostly for economy, as in the performance world, drivability trumps fuel economy, and almost eliminates this, they will however, sometimes “pop” in the DFCO transition period.)

    I had a vacuum hose come loose in an 89 Eagle Premier. When I tried to shut off the engine, it backfired so violently that it blew my muffler apart. The back of the muffler blew off and the case split open at the weld. Scared the crap out of me and everyone else at the gas station.
    I had taken off the plastic engine cover while I was working on something and I didn't realize that the engine cover was the only thing holding the worn out vacuum lines in place. Once I reattached the lines and put the cover back on, I never had another problem. Except for the extremely loud exhaust of course

    Can you explain the different anti lag system? Fuel/ignition cut?
