2 Step System??????

[mndude07]

Fireballs are excess fuel being shot into the exhaust....so poor tuning basically. Shooting flames is never a good thing except that it looks awesome.

poor tuning or anti-lag... which is basically intentional detonation in the exhaust manifold, before the turbo.

2 step

what deev said was correct.

when launch control was first being used people used only fuel cut. Like deev mentioned this type is everywhere and easy to control using ecu tuning software.

The 2 step people talk about is the ignition cut system designed and sold by MSD that they named 2 step. After that the tuning community started calling all ignition cut systems a 2 step.

So the naming convention went

1 step: fuel cut
2 step: ignition cut
3 step: ignition and fuel cut

the systems which like bisi's (second video) is called anti lag, it is used by individuals with large, or hard to spool turbos to help spool them earlier, or before launching for a drag race.

to do this the ignition is retarded to the point where the flash front from the combustion of the air/fuel mixture happens while the exhaust valve is open (very late) this send the flash front down manifold and creates a strong pressure wave which helps spool the turbo. This is bad for valves, but is a sacrifice that turbo guys are willing to make for spooling off the line. This can also be used between gears.

I do not know why people in our community would buy a separate module when so many tuning programs with emulators, and stand alone that can run 3 step / anti lag without add ons.

Anyway most people just run fuel cut for launch control.

I started running three step when I switched to neptune, its nice, but I think it is sort of hard on the coil, as I burned up an mds blaster 2 in less than a year.

who knows

[deevergote]

Anti-lag was first used (and is most commonly used) in rally racing, I believe.

Well any i have 1 question for you guys what in the world is a 2 step system. honestly idk but it sounds sick as fuck and if is cheap thing then i am buying it!!!!!!!

this.

probably not the best way to go about it. doesn't sound to me like a good enough reason, in other words, launch control or anti lag is good for a modded car, turbo or built otherwise applications. i wouldn't recommend it on a stock engine. do some research, or talk to someone with a setup who has a proper tune. it's implemented for specifics, "sounding cool" imo is not the right mindset to just plunge into something you should probably read up about/experience for yourself. don't lean out your engine unless it's *propoerly* tuned as a supporting add-on, for such.

[deevergote]

The initial question is no different than the kids that get passed by a turbo something-or-other and hear that BOV sound... and want that sound, not knowing what it is or what's happening to make it.

[deevergote]

Unless you have the tools and knowledge to do it yourself... I have the tools, working on the knowledge.

What came first

Deev, what you said about ignition cut coming first makes total sense.

I wasn't thinking well and spaced the days when carbs ruled the world(as they still do in some racing).

sorry for the misinfo, and thanks for correcting.

Back to the OP, yes it sounds sick but you don't need it. (Unless your boosted)
It's used mainly for building up boost so when you launch your already in boost, like launch control but something else is different/added I believe which I cannot remember.

did you read any of the posts?

Just curious.
